THE GRIND
The method of grinding and the level of fineness of the grind have a si-
gnificant impact on the resulting taste of the brewed coffee. Ideally you
should grind fresh roasted whole beans just before brewing. Be aware
that this machine is set to brew the most common grinds found on store
shelves. Typically preground coffees are of a similar size, medium-co-
arse. A very fine grind will produce much stronger flavors but risks be-
coming extracted during the brew cycle producing a more bitter taste.
