Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee
• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans,
or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more
expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans.
If buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest
expiration date or a smaller quantity.
• Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.

• Using filtered water or bottled water will yield better-tasting
coffee than tap water.
• Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See "Care and Cleaning"
directions on page 9.
• If overflow occurs, use slightly less grounds or less beans.

Hand wash in warm, soapy water, and rinse. Hand dry with soft cloth.
If coffee beans are in grinding chamber, use a small rubber scraper to
push any beans down through the opening.
