For standard drip-process coffee, a good starting
point is to use 1 ounce of coffee for every 4 cups
of brew water as measured with the carafe (a carafe
“cup” is about 4
1
⁄
4
ounces). Finer grinds usually
require less coffee, but using too fine a grind will
result in bitter flavor – see “How the Grind Affects
Flavor” on page 21.
If you prefer substantially weaker-than-average coffee,
it’s best to brew using a normal amount of ground
coffee and then dilute the result with hot water. Doing
this will maximize flavor and minimize bitterness.

TIPS
Select the correct grind for the brew process you are
using. 15 grind levels are available in half-step
increments from 1 to 8. Level 8 produces a very fine
grind perfect for espresso, 4
1
⁄
2
to 6 are medium grinds
appropriate for automatic drip coffee makers, and
1 is a coarse grind suited to French Press brewing.
Experiment – your tastes may be better served by
using a slightly finer or coarser grind.
