-
Keep coffee stored in a clean, dry place away from heat registers and vents or extreme cold for maximum freshness.
-
Use enough coffee (one tablespoon per cup or about 1 1/2 inches of coffee in a flat-bottom filter)
-
Make sure you use good-tasting water. Check your water source for softened or hard water. If necessary, run your water through a water treatment filter.
-
Use the correct coffee brewing equipment for maximum performance. We recommend a quick brew time, using a brewer that keeps water at 200° Fahrenheit (the ideal temperature) and mixes the grounds for full flavor extraction.
-
Use a thermal carafe if you plan to hold coffee more than 20-30 minutes. Coffee can be held in a thermal carafe for up to 60 minutes without losing flavor.
-
Make sure to clean your glass decanter every day.
-
Use only quality controlled paper filters designed to fit your brewing equipment.
-
Dispose of filter and grounds immediately after brewing to prevent drip-through of unwanted flavors trapped in used coffee grounds.
-
Clean your brewing equipment at least once a week (especially the sprayhead area).
