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 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 the
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
MAKING COFFEE, and later adjust the
amount to suit your taste.
