THE QUEST
FOR THE PERFECT
CUP OF COFFEE
Element 1: Water
Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that
water is as important as the quality of
your coffee. If water doesn’t taste good
from the tap, it won’t taste good in your
coffee. Cuisinart includes a charcoal
water filter to remove chlorine, bad
tastes and odors, for the purest coffee
flavor, every time you brew.
Element 2: Coffee
While coffee is 98% water, all of the
flavor comes from the beans. To achieve
the same great taste you enjoy at a
coffee bar, buy only a two-week supply
of fresh coffee beans at a time. Once
the bean is broken, its flavor degrades
quickly. That’s why Cuisinart grinds your
beans just prior to brewing.
Element 3: Grind
A burr grinder produces maximum flavor
from coffee beans. The process actually
crushes the bean, to release more of the
oils and flavors that create the best-
tasting coffee. The texture of the grind
is critical. Too fine, and it may clog the
filter. Too coarse, and water passes
through too quickly to extract the full
coffee flavor. Your coffeemaker is
preset for medium, the optimal grind
for this type of brewing process.
Element 4: Proportion
Coffee that is too strong or too weak
is always a disappointment. Your
coffeemaker automatically grinds the
right amount of beans for the strength
level and number of cups you choose.
If using pre-ground coffee, start by
using 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon) of
ground coffee per cup, and later adjust
the amount to your taste.
