Hints for Great Tasting Coffee
• A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning, as
described in the Care & Cleaning Instructions and Descaling sections of this instruction
manual is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
• Finer grinds, such as drip coffee, promote fuller extraction and provide rich, full-bodied
coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a
nergrind.
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in
