HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP
Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart
For best results, brew 4 or more cups of coffee.
Bonus: For a BOLDER CUP, use heaping scoops
NOTE: The color-coded measuring scoop is four tablespoons total.
Paper Filters vs. Reusable Filters
PAPER FILTERS: To achieve a smoother cup of coffee, use a paper filter. It will be most effective in trapping bitter sediments. REUSABLE FILTERS: For a more robust and full taste, use a reusable filter. It will allow the coffee’s full flavor to fill your cup. Reusable filters have tiny holes that allow rich coffee oils to brew through.
Water
While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98% water. The type of water that you brew with greatly affects the final taste. Always use clean, fresh water that is filtered and free of impurities – avoid soft water or well water. Please refer to the “Advanced Water Filtration” section to learn more about how your coffee maker reduces impurities in water.
Cleanliness
A clean coffee maker is essential to brewing great-tasting coffee every time. This coffee maker is equipped with a cleaning cycle. Please refer to the next page for steps on routine cleaning.
