THE QUEST FOR
THE PERFECT CUP
OF COFFEE
ELEMENT 1: WATER
Hot beverages are made up primarily of
water. If water doesn't taste good from the
tap, it won't taste good in your drink.
Cuisinart includes charcoal water filters
in its water reservoirs to remove chlorine,
bad tastes and odours, for the purest
flavours every time you brew.
ELEMENT 2: COFFEE
The flavour of your beverage comes
from the coffee, tea, cocoa - or whatever
you're brewing. To achieve the best taste,
always use the best ingredients. Select
fresh, high-quality beans or ground coffee,
and only the best single-serve capsules.
ELEMENT 3: GRIND
The grind of coffee, or the refinement
of tea leaves, is critical for proper flavour
extraction. Pre-ground ingredients in
top-quality single-serve capsules ensure
excellent, flavourful results. When using
beans or pre-ground coffee to brew into
the carafe, the grind is just as critical. If it's
too fine, over-extraction will result in
bitterness and may clog the filter. If too
coarse, maximum flavour is not extracted.
We recommend a medium-fine grind.
ELEMENT 4: PROPORTION
Coffee that is too strong or too weak is
always a disappointment. Follow the
recommended portions of ground coffee in
the instructions under Brewing Coffee for
the drip side or under Brewing with
a Reusable Filter Cup for the single serve
side. You can later adjust the amount to
suit your taste.
