Best-Tasting Coffee Tips
• 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.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium
grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly
ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-
tasting coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of grounds for each cup of
coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds
(3/4 tablespoon [11 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.
Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also
cause the filter basket to overflow.
• Make sure your coffee maker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning”
section.
