Proportions
The most important thing is to use the right proportion of coffee to water. The hot water interacts
with the coffee to extract, or pull out, the desirable flavor components. Too much water or too little
coffee results in over-extracted coffee.
How to Brew Coffee
Choosing the right coffee bean
The best coffee begins with using top quality Arabic beans. We recommend Starbucks coffees,

roasted to perfection and ground for the Starbucks Barista Aroma Solo
Thermal Coffee Maker.
Whole bean coffee should be ground for a drip coffee filter at a medium grind.
Grinding your own beans
To achieve a medium grind coffee at home, run the coffee beans through your blade grinder for
approximately 15 seconds.
