HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
• A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular
cleaning, as described in the Care & Cleaning Instructions and Descaling
sections of this Instruction Manual is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
• Finer grinds, such as drip coffee, promote fuller extraction and provide rich,
full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to
provide the strength of a finer grind.
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly
sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee flavor, buy whole beans and grind them finely just
before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately
after brewing.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the
extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently
if heavily roasted coffees are used. Overextraction may also cause oiliness,
indicating a need to clean your Coffee Maker.

DESCALING
Special cleaning of your Coffee Maker is recommended at least once a month,
depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water
in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be
performed every 2 weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor
of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill carafe with 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water. Pour water and
vinegar solution into the water reservoir.
18
2. Brew the vinegar solution until the carafe is half full.

NORMAL COFFEE BREWING.

dripping from filter holder into the carafe, remove the carafe and allow liquid
to cool for 15 minutes. When cooled, lift lid and pour liquid back into the water
reservoir.
4. Close the lid. Return carafe to the warming plate.
5. Brew the vinegar solution again, allowing all the cleaning solution to empty
into the carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard contents of the carafe.

cold water. Insert the clean permanent coffee filter into the removable filter
holder before brewing.
