Hints for Great-Tasting Coffee
- Aclean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regular cleaning, as specified in “Cleaning and Maintenance’, is highly recommended.
- Always use fresh, cold water in your coffee maker.
- Finer grinds, such as drip coffee, promote fuller extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
- For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just before brewing.
- Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Used coffee grounds cannot be reused.
- Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee powder.
- Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.
