Brewing delicious coffee is similar to cooking any favorite food. Both require a

good recipe. Proper coffee-making needs quality equipment to precisely control

water temperature, volume, and brew time. The Bunn

sistency in your recipe by controlling all of these elements. The only variables re-

maining in the recipe are the grind and amount of coffee used.

The amount of ground coffee is generally determined by the grind. For best re-

sults, we recommend a drip (medium) grind.

Hot water extracts many elements from the ground coffee, some desirable, some

not. The taste and aroma are referred to as strength, the acidity as bitterness. In-

creasing the amount of coffee results in a stronger beverage, and decreasing it re-

sults in a weaker beverage.

As the amount of ground coffee decreases, you'll note an increase in the bitter-

ness of the beverage. This happens because the hot water begins to remove the

undesirable elements such as acidity after all of the desirable tastes and aroma have

been removed.

Fresh ground coffee gives the best results. Always store the ground coffee in a

coo, dry area away from other food items with strong odors. When stored in a

refrigerator, keep it in an airtight container.

When properly brewed, the difference between the best quality ground coffee

and a poor quality ground coffee becomes very dramatic. Proper brewing requires

little effort with the Bunn Pour-Omatic

You'll always have a great coffee experience if you follow these tips:

1) Always start with clean equipment.

2) Always use fresh cold water.

3) Always use Bunn

4) Using 2 ounces of fresh drip grind coffee for each full pot (4 oz) will give you a

consistently great pot of coffee with a full-bodied flavor and aroma. However, the

real criteria is personal taste. Adjust the recipe until it suits you. If you need to

make a smaller batch, experiment with less water and ground coffee.

5) Keep the beverage at the correct serving temperature by setting the decanter on

the porcelain warmer. For the freshest flavor, don't keep brewed coffee for longer

than an hour.
