HINTS FORGREATTASTING
A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning, as
l
specified in "Cleaning Your Coffee Maker," is highly recommended.
Always use fresh, cold water in your coffee maker.
l
Fine grind coffee promotes fuller extraction and provides rich, full-tasting coffee. Regular
l
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
l
the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just before brewing.
l
Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
l
Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately
l
after brewing.
Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee is due to the extraction of oil
l
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
coffee maker.
