Brewing A Better Cup - Bonavita THE ENTHUSIAST Manual

Brewing a Better Cup

Bonavita brewers are expertly engineered to take the guesswork out of brewing
a perfect cup of coffee. They produce exceptional, consistent results with each
use. Our easy-to-use brewers keep things simple, producing exceptional coffee
at the push of a button.
Here are a few tips to help you make better coffee with your new Bonavita
brewer:
COFFEE QUALITY, FRESHNESS, AND GRIND
The quality of roasted coffee you use has a great impact on the brewed coffee's
flavor. Using freshly roasted coffee beans and grinding them right before brewing
is strongly recommended. We also recommend using coffee that was roasted in
the last 14 days for optimum flavor. In addition, we encourage you to use an air-
tight container or sealed bag to help extend the lifespan of your coffee beans.
Once coffee beans are ground, they lose flavor very quickly. We strongly
recommend grinding your coffee beans immediately before brewing, whenever
possible. For flat bottom brewers, Bonavita suggests using coffee that is ground
to medium consistency (similar to sand).

COFFEE TO WATER RATIO
Applying the same ratio of water to coffee grounds each time you brew will
result in a more consistent cup of coffee. Using a scale to weigh your coffee
is the best way to stay consistent, but we understand that might not always be
possible. We also recommend brewing in 6 or 8 cup batches. In the case of
Bonavita brewers, 1 cup is equal to 5oz.
