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.. Grind 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 bit- terness will result.. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter.. If 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 grind..

Element 4: Proportion

Add 1 scoop of ground coffee (1 scoop = 1 tablespoon = ~6 grams) per cup (1 cup = 5 fl.. oz..).. You may wish to adjust this amount accord- ing to your personal taste.. Do not use more than 16 scoops (16 tablespoons)..

Setting Up Your

Coffeemaker

1.Unwrap cord and plug the coffeemaker into a grounded outlet.. Make sure to remove all stickers and packing materials from the unit..

2.Place a large cup or mug (10 oz.. minimum) on the drip tray..

3.Remove lid from water reservoir, then lift reservoir straight up and away from the coffeemaker.. Wash the reservoir with warm soapy water, and rinse..

4.Fill reservoir with water to the 12-cup line and return with lid to unit (see figure 1)..
