TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

This chapter will give you good advice for your perfect coffee.

WHOLE BEANS

Fresh is best! Freshly roasted, quality coffee is the key to making great tasting coffee.
Maximum flavour is gained 5-20 days after roast. Always look for a "Roasted On"
date on the bag. Avoid coffee with a "Best Before" or "Use By" date as you never
know, when it was roasted.
Coffee flavour and strength is a personal preference. Vary the type of coffee beans
and the strength setting to achieve the taste of your preference.
Freshly ground beans are essential for more flavour and body. Pre-ground coffee
will have lost most of its flavour and aromatics, so always grind right before you
brew for superior taste. This is done effortlessly, when exclusively using the grinder
of the coffee brewer.
Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and dry, air-tight container. Vacuum seal, if pos-
sible.
Buy coffee beans in small batches to reduce the storage time and store no more than
one week's supply at any time.
Do not store beans in the bean hopper for a prolonged period of time.
Clean the bean hopper and grinding burrs regularly.

PRE-GROUND COFFEE

• We recommend 1 level tablespoon of pre-ground coffee per 150 ml of water.
However, adjust the amount according to your individual taste. The maximum
capacity for pre-ground coffee is 12 level tablespoons. Exceeding this amount
may cause the coffee basket to overflow.
• The grind will affect the rate at which the water flows through the coffee powder
in the coffee basket and therefore the taste of the coffee. If the grind is too fine,
the water will not flow through the coffee and may clog or overflow the coffee
basket. Additionally, it may pass through the gold tone filter leaving sediment in
the cup or carafe. The resulting coffee will be over extracted, too dark and bitter.
• If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the coffee too quickly. This
will result in an under-extracted coffee lacking in flavour.
• Always use "drip coffee grind" suitable for use with a drip coffee brewer. Never
use "Espresso grind" as the finer grind size may cause the coffee basket to over-
flow.
