COFFEE BREWING TIPS

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

•For variety add a 1-inch piece of lemon or orange peel to the coffee grounds before brewing.

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

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

•If coffee is left on the hot plate, be sure to remove the coffee grounds from the filter basket as soon as they have cooled slightly.

•Ground coffee can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks and still make fresh tasting coffee.

•Use cold tap water; hot tap water that has been sitting in a water heater may give your coffee a metallic taste.
