THE QUEST
FOR THE PERFECT
CUP OF COFFEE
Element 1: Water
Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that
water is as important as the quality of
your coffee. If water doesn't taste good
from the tap, it won't taste good in your
coffee. Cuisinart includes a charcoal
water filter to remove chlorine, bad
tastes and odours, for the purest coffee
flavor, every time you brew.
Element 2: Coffee
While coffee is 98% water, all of the
flavour comes from the beans. To
achieve the same great taste you enjoy
at a coffee bar, buy only a two-week
supply of fresh coffee beans at a time.
Once the bean is broken, its flavour
degrades quickly. That's why Cuisinart
grinds your beans just prior to brewing.
Element 3: Grind
The grind is critical for proper flavour
extraction. If the grind is too fine, over
extraction and bitterness will result. Too
fine a grind may also clog the filter. If
grind is too coarse, the water will pass
through too quickly and the maximum
flavour will not be extracted. Your
coffeemaker is preset for medium, the
optimal grind for this type of brewing
process.
Element 4: Proportion
Coffee that is too strong or too weak
is always a disappointment. Follow the
recommended portions of whole beans
or ground coffee in the instructions
under MAKING COFFEE, and later
adjust the amount to your taste.
DO NOT OVERFILL OR THE GRINDER
COULD MALFUNCTION AND/OR THE
COFFEEMAKER COULD OVERFLOW.
