COFFEE FUNDAMENTALS

Brewing delicious coffee is similar to cooking any favorite food. Both require a good recipe. Proper coffee brewing requires quality equipment to precisely control water temperature, volume, and brew time. The BUNN® coffee brewer assures consistency in your recipe by controlling all of these elements. The only variables remaining in the recipe are the grind and amount of coffee used.

The amount of ground coffee is generally determined by the grind. For best results, we recommend a drip (medium) grind.

Hot water extracts many elements from the coffee. The amount of coffee used and the amount of water passed through the coffee determines strength. Increasing the amount of coffee results in a stronger beverage. Decreasing the amount of coffee with the same amount of water results in a weaker beverage.

As the amount of coffee decreases,you’ll note an increase in the bitterness of the beverage. This happens because the hot water begins to remove the undesirable elements after all of the desirable elements have been extracted.

Fresh-ground coffee gives the best results. Always store the ground coffee in a cool, dry area away from other food items with strong odors. When stored in a refrigerator, keep coffee in an airtight container.

BREWING TIPS

When coffee is properly brewed, the difference between the best quality ground coffee and a poor quality ground coffee becomes very dramatic. Proper brewing requires little effort with the BUNN coffee brewer.

You’ll have a great coffee experience if you follow these tips:

1)Start with clean equipment.

2)Use fresh cold water.

3)Use BUNN® paper coffee filters for proper extraction.

4)Using a minimum of 2 ounces of fresh drip grind coffee for each full pot will give you a consistently great pot of coffee with a full-bodied flavor and aroma. However, the real criteria is personal taste. Adjust the recipe until it suits you. If you need to make a smaller batch, experiment with less water and ground coffee. Minimum batch is 20 ounces.

5)After filling the pour-in bowl with water from the carafe, the carafe can be pre-heated by filling it with hot water for approximately 1/2 minute. Empty before filling with fresh brewed coffee. For the freshest flavor, don’t hold brewed coffee in the carafe for longer than four hours.
