HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
• A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as specified in CARE AND CLEANING section
below is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffeemaker.
• Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extraction
and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require
slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,
keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them just
before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair
coffee flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to
the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur
more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Over
extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean
your Coffeemaker.

steel wool.
DESCALING
Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least once a
month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the
unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning
procedure should be performed every 2 weeks, since minerals in water
can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.
