how to use your coffee maker
Read all safety instructions before using the coffee maker for the first time
For the best coffee, you should start with freshly
ground coffee from freshly roasted beans. The beans
can be purchased and stored in an airtight container.
Just prior to brewing, remove the amount needed and
grind the beans.
If using a blade-type coffee grinder, shake it
occasionally during grinding to redistribute the whole
beans for a more uniform grind. Experiment to find the
right grind for your coffee maker and taste. If the beans
are ground too finely, it will produce a bitter, weak and
watery taste.
Some specialty coffees recommend using more than
one tablespoon of ground coffee per cup. Your new
coffee maker is designed to brew good quality coffee.
One level tablespoon of ground coffee per cup is
recommended. The amount of ground coffee
used depends upon your personal preference.
The quality of your drinking water will affect the flavour
of your coffee. If you do not drink water straight from
the tap, do not use it to make coffee. If your water has
an off-taste or smell, or if you have extremely hard
water, use bottled drinking water or filtered water to
make coffee. If the water is from the tap, it should be
freshly drawn and cold for the best coffee flavour.
Tips To Brew Good Coffee
The amount of coffee to water depends upon
personal preference. One table spoon of
ground coffee per cup is recommended.
Automatic coffee makers generally use a 5-
ounce cup size. The coffee maker s carafe and
reservoir are marked in cups for easy
measuring.
Try different flavoured coffees and flavoured
creamers available at supermarkets or
specialty coffee stores. Regular coffee can be
flavoured at home. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon
or a drop of a pure extract-like almond, vanilla,
or mint-to the ground coffee before brewing.
For a mocha flavour, stir a spoon of chocolate
syrup or instant cocoa mix to each cup or
brewed coffee.
Caution:
Too much cinnamon may clog the filter and
cause basket to over flow.
