HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE

A clean coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as specified in "Care and Cleaning of your
Coffeemaker" on page 7 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 finely 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. Overextraction may also
cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your coff e e m a k e r.
