4 ELEMENTS TO \fREW THE PERFECT \DCUP
A great cup of coffee starts with 
fresh, quality water. \bince water 
represents more than 98% of 
brewed coffee, it is just as important 
as the coffee quality itself. The 
water you use should taste like 
fresh, good-quality dr\Kinking water, 
have an odorless aroma, and 
contain no visible im\Kpurities.  
Even saturation of your coffee 
grounds is vital for ensuring proper 
flavor and extraction. \bome coffee 
makers simply drip water down the 
center of the brew basket, which 
leads to over-extraction in the center 
of the coffee grounds and under-
extraction on the perime\Kter. This 
coffeemaker features an Evenstream 
showerhead, providing even 
saturation of the coffee grounds for 
optimal flavor extraction. 
            
A truly fresh cup of coffee only 
comes from freshly ground coffee 
beans. In fact, once a coffee bean 
is broken or ground, its flavor 
will begin to degrade over time. 
Maximize the freshness of your 
coffee by grinding coffee beans  
just prior to brewing.   
It is important to use the proper 
coffee-to-water ratio to produce a 
finished brew that isn’t too strong 
or weak. We recommend using 1 
tablespoon of ground coffee for 
every 1 cup of brewed coffee. You 
may adjust this proportion to suit 
your individual taste, or try the  
Brew \btrength \belector to 
customize your flavor!

• To maximize the freshness  
of your coffee, grind  
whole coffee beans just  
before brewing.    
 
• Always use fresh, cold, clean 
water in your coffee maker. The 
water you use should have an 
odorless aroma and contain no 
visible impurities.   
 
• Use spring water or filtered  
water, not distilled water  
which lacks the minerals 
necessary to bind to elements  
of coffee. 
 
• A clean coffee maker is  
always important. Regular 
cleaning is required for the  
best tasting coffee.  
 
• Always keep the lid on your 
thermal carafe after brewing.   
The carafe is double-wall 
insulated and vacuum sealed to 
help keep your coffee hot and 
fresh for hours. 
• Fill the carafe with hot tap water 
and empty before brewing, which 
will warm up the carafe and 
help keep coffee at the brewed 
temperature.
• Always store your coffee in a cool,  
dry place. Once coffee has been  
opened, keep it tightly sealed in 
an airtight container.  
 
• Do not refrigerate or freeze  
your daily supply of coffee,  
as contact with moisture  
will cause the coffee to 
deteriorate.   
 
• Never re-use your coffee grounds.  
After brewing, the desirable 
coffee flavors have been 
extracted and only the bitter 
flavors remain.  
 
• Brewed coffee should be enjoyed  
immediately! Allowing coffee to 
sit too long and reheating coffee 
will impact the flavor.  
 
• \bmell the aroma of your freshly  
brewed coffee, and remember 
that every sip is meant to be 
savored and enjoyed!
