POINT 1: Purchase and storing coffee beans
Buy coffee beans as fresh as possible, in quantities that will be consumed in a week. After opening, seal tightly
and store in a cool, dark place.
For this coffee machine...
You can put up to around 200 g of coffee beans in the hopper on the top of the main unit.
POINT2: Roast levels
The flavor of coffee varies greatly depending on the roasting process. Generally, light roasting is more acidic and
less bitter. The darker the roast, the less acidic and the more pronounced the bitterness becomes.

POINT 3: Grinding coffee beans
The flavor of coffee beans starts to degrade within about 30 minutes after they're ground. To ensure a delicious
cup of coffee, it's crucial to grind the beans just before brewing.
When grinding coffee beans, it's also important to ensure that the grounds are of uniform size. Unevenly sized
grounds can result in uneven brewing, affecting the quality of your coffee. If you're using a hand-cranked coffee
mill, try to turn the handle at a consistent speed.
For this coffee machine...
A conical burr mill grinds the beans evenly just before brewing coffee.
This allows you to enjoy the freshly-ground aroma and fresh, delicious coffee.
POINT4: Effects of grind size on taste
Even a difference in the size of the coffee grounds can affect the taste. The finer the grain, the larger the surface
area of the grain and the greater the area in contact with hot water, so more of the coffee's components tend to
be brewed.
