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.
