•For a more flavourful coffee, use freshly ground coffee. Its flavour and aroma will develop even further when brewing.

•For a lightly flavoured coffee, place a cinnamon stick, some vanilla or a cardamom seed, for example, in the coffee pot.

•Reheating coffee that has gone cold is not recommended. Its taste will be altered and it will lose its aroma.

•Be sure to use the amounts of coffee recommended in the Cuisinart® recipe booklet.
