Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee
• 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.

• When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee
grind will yield best results. Be careful not to overgrind, since very
finely ground coffee can cause overflow in this unit.
• If overflow occurs, first try switching the unit to the BOLD setting,
OR use slightly less grounds. The BOLD setting dispenses water at a
slower rate, allowing more contact time and better coffee extraction
from the coffee.
• 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 tap water.
• Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See "Care and Cleaning"
section.
