COFFEE BREWING TIPS:

1.Stir coffee in carafe before serving to evenly distribute the flavor.

2.Coffee that is poured during brewing cycle may vary in strength from the finished brew.

3.Not sure how much coffee to use – begin by using 1 level tablespoon of medium grind coffee for each cup of coffee to be brewed.

4.For variety add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or allspice to the coffee grounds before brewing.

5.If you like milk or half-and-half in your coffee, pour amount of milk desired into the carafe before brewing. Make sure to leave enough room in the carafe for the amount of coffee you wish to brew.

6.For a special occasion, whip some heavy cream with 2 or 3 tablespoons of orange marmalade. Use to top off each cup of coffee.

7.Keep your coffee maker scrupulously clean; you’ll be pleased with the flavor.

Note: The residual oils from previously brewed coffee can give your next brew a rancid, bitter flavor (see Care and Cleaning section).

8.For iced coffee brew the coffee with twice the normal amount of grounds. The ice dilutes the coffee flavor. Or make coffee ice cubes and brew your normal strength. Remember when pouring hot liquid into a glass, always put a spoon in

the glass before adding the hot liquid.
