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 tablespoon of medium
grind coffee for each cup of coffee to be brewed.
• For variety, add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or allspice to the coffee grounds
before brewing.
• If you like milk or half-and-half in your coffee, pour amount of milk desired into
the carafe before brewing. Make sure to leave enough room in the carafe for the
amount of coffee you wish to brew.
• For a special occasion, whip some heavy cream with 2 or 3 tablespoons of
orange marmalade. Use to top off each cup of coffee.
• Keep your coffeemaker scrupulously clean; you’ll be pleased with the flavor.
Note: The residual oils from previously brewed coffee can give your next brew a
rancid, bitter flavor (see CARe AnD CLeAnIng section).
• For iced coffee, brew the coffee with twice the normal amount of grounds. The
ice dilutes the coffee flavor. Or make coffee ice cubes and brew your normal
strength. Remember when pouring hot liquid into a glass, always put a spoon in
the glass before adding the hot liquid.
