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 odors for the purest
flavors every time you brew.
ELEMENT 2: COFFEE
The flavor 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 flavor
extraction. Pre-ground ingredients in
top-quality single-serve capsules ensure
excellent, flavorful results. When using
beans or pre-ground coffee to brew into
the carafe, the grind is just as critical. If
it's too fine, overextraction will result in
bitterness and may clog the filter. If too
coarse, maximum flavor 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. You can later adjust the amount
to suit your taste.
