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 Coffee Maker is clean. See "Care and Cleaning." If overflow occurs, use slightly less grounds or less beans.
