OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER

20.NOTE: If you have not used the coffee maker in awhile, run one cycle with water only (without coffee) to clean it out. Fill the water tank to the top cup when you perform this procedure. WARNING: Never put the carafe in the microwave.

HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE

1.A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning is recommended, as specified in the “Cleaning Your Coffee Maker” section of this manual.

2.Always use fresh, cold water in your coffee maker.

3.Fine grind coffee promotes fuller extraction and provides rich, full-tasting coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee grounds per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.

4.Store coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in refrigerator to maintain freshness.

5.For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them just before brewing.

6.Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will lessen coffee flavor.

7.Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.

8.Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffee is used. Over-extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your coffee maker.
