• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans,
or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more
expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans.
If buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest
expiration date or a smaller quantity.
• Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield
better-tasting coffee than some tap water.
• Make sure your coffee maker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning”
section.
• Soft water causes poor coffee extraction, leading to poor-tasting
coffee. Use filtered, spring, or bottled water if your water is soft.
