BREWING A BETTER CUP
Your brewer comes with an optional pre-infusion mode which slows the introduction
of water to optimize avor in the cup. Our unique pre-infusion mode creates a bloom
inside the lter basket. The bloom is a process in which gasses from the coee are
released as the water hits the grounds. This causes the grounds to grow and rise.
The CO2 that is inside the bean is purged out and replaced with the water. This
begins the brewing and avor extraction process. The bloom is not only a chemical
reaction, it’s also a relevant part of the brewing process and enhances the aromas
and avors of the cup you brew.
• This Bonavita coee brewer is engineered to heat the brewing water to
with-
in the 198°- 205°F (92°-96°C ) range. The heating elements in the Bonavita
coee brewers are designed to deliver the correct temperature water over the
correct brewing time.
• For ideal extraction levels, brew your coee in 6-8 cup batches, with fresh,
ltered, cold water.
• Brewing time is about 6 minutes for 8 cups of coee. This will allow for prop
er
water ow and saturation time.
• The quality of the coee has a great impact on brewed coee’s avor. Using
freshly roasted beans and grinding the beans just before brewing are import
ant
considerations. We recommend using coee within a couple of weeks of its
roast date. Air tight storage will help extend your coee’s lifespan.
• Grinding coee is another key point on the timeline of avor and perishability.
Once coee is ground the air begins to attack essential oils and other volatile
avor components. It’s only a matter of hours before most of the ground cof-
fee’s aroma has evaporated. Sometimes pre-grinding can’t be avoided, but if it
can, delay until shortly before brewing.
• For the most consistent results, Bonavita recommends measuring coee by
weight, using 10 grams of coee per cup.
• Measuring coee by volume is less consistent. For example, two table
spoons
of drip grind coee can weigh between 6 grams of dark roast coee to 11
grams of light roast coee. Bonavita recommends beginning with two level
tablespoons of medium coarse drip grind coee as a starting point with your
preferred roast, and adjust according to your taste.
• Keep the lter basket, water tank, and carafe clean.
• For maximum heat retention we recommend rinsing the carafe with hot water
shortly before the brew begins.
