off fl avors.
• Experiment with Ratios: Depending on your taste preference,
you might need to adjust the amount of coff ee grounds or water to
achieve the perfect strength.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Regularly clean the Coff ee Maker to ensure great tasting coff ee.
Follow the directions in the Care & Cleaning Section.
2. After opening a package of ground coff ee, reseal it tightly to
maintain its freshness. Store in the refrigerator, or in a cool dry
place.
3. For optimum coff ee taste, buy whole coff ee beans and grind them
just before brewing.
4. Reheating coff ee is not recommended. Coff ee is at its peak fl avor
immediately after brewing.
