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, buy only a two-week supply of fresh coffee beans at a time. Once the bean is broken, its flavor degrades quickly. That’s why Cuisinart grinds your beans just prior to brewing.

Element 3: Grind

The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness 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. Your coffeemaker is preset for medium, the optimal grind for this type of brewing process.

Element 4: Proportion

Coffee that is too strong or too weak is always a disappointment. Follow the recommended portions of whole beans or ground coffee in the instructions under MAKING COFFEE, and later adjust the amount to your taste.

DO NOT OVERFILL OR THE GRINDER COULD MALFUNCTION AND/OR OVERFLOW.
