Tips

WHOLE BEANS
• FRESH IS BEST! Freshly roasted, quality
coffee is key to making great tasting coffee.
Peak flavor potential is 5-20 days after roast.
Always look for a "Roasted On" date on the
bag. Avoid coffee with a "Best Before" or
"Use By" date as you never know when it
was roasted.
• Coffee flavor and strength are a personal
preference. Vary the type of coffee beans and
the amount of ground coffee to achieve your
preferred taste.
• Freshly ground beans are the key to making
coffee with more flavor and body. Pre-ground
coffee will have lost most of its flavor and
aromatics, so always grind right before you
brew for superior taste.
• Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and dry
place. Vacuum seal if possible.
• Buy coffee beans in small batches to reduce
the storage time and store no more than one
week's supply at any time.

COFFEE/WATER RATIO

We recommend 1 level Breville scoop of coffee grounds per 5oz (150ml) cup of water. Adjust the
amount according to your individual taste. The maximum capacity for pre-ground coffee is 12 level
Breville scoops. Exceeding this amount may cause the coffee basket to overflow.

PRE-GROUND COFFEE
• Pre-ground coffee is convenient, but will
never taste as good as coffee ground right
before you brew. We recommend investing in
a quality burr grinder so you can grind fresh
whole bean coffee right before you brew and
enjoy superior tasting coffee.
• The grind will affect the rate at which the
water flows through the coffee in the coffee
basket and therefore the taste of the coffee.
If the grind is too fine the water will not flow
through the coffee and may clog or overflow
the coffee basket. It may pass through the
mesh basket filter leaving sediment in the
cup or carafe. The resulting coffee will be
over extracted, too dark and bitter. If the
grind is too coarse the water will flow through
the coffee too quickly. This will result in an
under-extracted coffee lacking in flavor.
• Always use "drip filter grind" suitable for
use with a drip coffee machines. Never use
"Espresso grind" as the finer grind size may
cause the coffee basket to block and and will
be over-extracted.
