COFFEE FUNDAMENTALS

Brewing delicious coffee is similar to cooking any favorite food. Both require a good recipe. Proper coffee making needs 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 ground coffee, some desirable, some not. The taste and aroma are referred-to as strength, the acidity as bitterness. Increasing the amount of ground coffee results in a stronger beverage, and decreasing it results in a weaker beverage.

As the amount of ground 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 such as acidity after all of the desirable tastes and aroma have been removed.

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 it in an airtight container.

BREWING TIPS

When 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 always have a great coffee experience if you follow these tips:

1)Always start with clean equipment.

2)Always use fresh cold water.

3)Always use BUNN paper coffee filters for proper extraction.

4)Using 2 ounces of fresh drip grind coffee for each full pot (48 oz) 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.

5)Keep the beverage at the correct serving temperature by setting the decanter on the porcelain warmer. For the freshest flavor, don't keep brewed coffee for longer than an hour.
