THE QUEST

FOR THE PERFECT

CUP OF COFFEE

ELEMENT 1: WATER

Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that

water is as important as the quality of your

coffee. If water doesn’t taste good from

the tap, it won’t taste good in your coffee.

Cuisinart includes a charcoal water filter to

remove chlorine, bad tastes and odours,

for the purest coffee flavour, every time

you brew.

ELEMENT 2: COFFEE

While coffee is 98% water, all of the

flavour comes from the beans. To achieve

the same great taste you enjoy at a coffee

bar, you need to use the same quality of

coffee. If you choose to grind your own

beans, buy them fresh and whole. Buy

only about a two-week supply at a time,

because once the bean is broken, its

flavour degrades quickly.

ELEMENT 3: GRIND

The grind is critical for proper

flavour extraction. If the grind is too fine,

over-extraction and bitterness will result.

Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If

grind is too coarse, the water will pass

through too quickly and the maximum

flavour will not be extracted. When

grinding your own beans, we recommend

a medium-fine grind.

ELEMENT 4: PROPORTION

Coffee that is too strong or too weak is

always a disappointment. Follow the

recommended portions of ground coffee

in the instructions under MAKING

COFFEE, and later adjust the amount to

suit your taste.
