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,
you need to use the same quality of coffee.
If you choose to grind your own beans,
buy them fresh and whole. Buy only about
a two-week supply at a time, because
once the bean is broken, its flavor
degrades quickly.
ELEMENT 3: GRIND
The grind of coffee, or the refinement of
tea leaves, is critical for proper flavor
extraction. If the grind is too fine,
over-extraction and bitterness will result.
Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If
grind is too coarse, the water will pass
through too quickly and the maximum
flavor will not be extracted. When grinding
your own beans, we recommend a
medium-fine grind.
ELEMENT 4: PROPORTION
Coffee that is too strong or too weak is
always a disappointment. Follow the
recommended portions of ground coffee in
the instructions under Brewing Coffee, and
later adjust the amount to suit your taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for
ground coffee is 15 scoops (15
tablespoons) for this 60 oz. (twelve 5 oz.
cups) coffeemaker. Exceeding this
amount may cause overflow.
NOTE: A cup of coffee is 5 oz.
