THE COFFEE BAR™ FLAVOR SYSTEM
All coffee has the rich aromatic flavors we associate with a great cup of coffee, as well as the acidic, bitter flavors we associate with a bad cup. Commercial brewers have discovered that the “good” and “bad” flavors wash out of the grounds at a different rate, with the good flavors washing out faster than the bad. The trick is to use only enough water to wash out the good flavors and leave the bad behind. The relatively small amount of water needed to do this leaves a very strong cup of coffee, so it is necessary to add some water to bring it to a pleasant strength.
The Coffee Bar™ Flavor System does the work for you. Using the proportions and grind recommended, simply set the Flavor System dial for the number of cups you intend to brew. That’s all there is to it! The Coffee Bar™ Flavor System automatically measures the correct amount of water needed to pass through the grounds, and directs the rest of the water into the carafe.
