• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans, or some
combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive, but tend to
produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If buying
preground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration date, or buy a
smaller quantity.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a medium grind. This will
yield best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a
week of grinding.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-tasting
coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 tablespoon (5 g) of grounds for each cup of coffee being
made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds (3/4 tablespoon [4 g])
when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. Be aware that using coffee that is
ground too finely may also cause Filter Basket to overflow.
• Make sure your Coffee Maker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning” section.
• Grind coffee beans shortly before brewing.
• If grinding whole coffee beans, always use fresh beans.
• Finely ground coffee will make it difficult to press the coffee.
• Only buy the amount of coarsely ground coffee that you think you will use in
one week. This will ensure you have the freshest coffee.
• Never store coffee grounds in the freezer. Moisture and air change its flavor.
