Fresh, good-tasting
water is essential since it makes up more than 98 percent of a cup of
coffee. Mineral content can affect taste. For best results, water should not
exceed these parts per million(ppm) of dissolved minerals:
Ideal
50-100 ppm (50-100 mg/L) or 3 to 6 grains of hardness
Acceptable Below 300 ppm (300 mg/L) or 18 grains of hardness
Brewing perfect
coffee starts with clean equipment. Make sure your brewer is free from any
contamination or odors that might affect the coffee.
The temperature of
the water during brewing affects flavor and extraction.
Ideal
Water Temperature 195 - 205 F (92 - 96 C)
The brewing time or
the time water is in contact with coffee grind determines the amount of
coffee material extracted, the major component affecting flavor.
Turbulence is created
as the water passes through and over the coffee. It should cause the
particles to separate and create a uniform flow of water around them for
proper extraction.
Paper filters produce
the clearest cup of coffee. BUNN filters are:
Porous
enough to allow free flow of the extracted coffee solubles.
Made from
oxygen processed paper for best coffee flavor.
Strong
enough to prevent collapsing.
Combining these
elements for optimum flavor, productivity and profit is a science, a science
that BUNN has been exploring for over 40 years.
