COFFEE BREWING TIPS

•Do not reuse coffee grounds; the best flavors are extracted during the first brewing.

•If carafe filled with coffee is left on the “Keep Hot” plate, be sure to remove the coffee grounds from the filter as soon as they have cooled slightly. This will keep the coffee from developing a bitter taste.

•For a special occasion, whip some heavy cream with 1 or 2 tablespoons of hazel nut, chocolate or almond liqueur. Use to top off each cup of coffee.

•Add a 2-inch piece of vanilla bean to the sugar bowl. You’ll be surprised at how good it tastes.

•Keep your coffeemaker very clean; you’ll be pleased with the flavor.

•For iced coffee, brew the coffee with twice the normal amount of grounds. The ice dilutes the coffee flavor.
