COFFEE BREWING TIPS

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

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

Not sure how much coffee to use? Begin by using 1 level scoop of medium grind coffee for each cup of coffee to be brewed.

Never reuse coffee filters; they absorb flavors from the brewed coffee and will give the newly brewed coffee a stale flavor. They may also tear and allow grinds to drip into the newly brewed coffee.

Open coffee grounds are best stored in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container. Once opened, coffee should be used within 1 month.

If filled carafe is left on the hot plate, be sure to remove the coffee grounds from
