COFFEE BREWING GUIDE
THE COFFEE
Choose your beans wisely. It is best to use premium whole beans from a trusted brand or
roaster.
Arabica beans provide the best flavors and have less caffeine and while Robusta beans
are easier to grow and less expensive, they have less flavor and higher caffeine content.
Robusta beans are sometimes used in blends to add a particular bitterness to the brew.
Beans can be roasted very lightly to provide a smooth aromatic taste or roasted dark to
provide stronger flavors, and anywhere in between.
A good roaster will be able to describe the flavors that the beans will impart to your brewed
coffee.
Note: Experiment with different beans and different roasts to identify one or several that
suit your tastes.
„ Air, light, and moisture are damaging to the delicate oils that give the coffee beans their
great flavor.
„ Buy your beans in small batches to always have the freshest possible beans available.
„ Store the coffee in an opaque, airtight container and keep in a cool dry place.
THE RATIO
The amount of ground coffee must be carefully measured against the volume of water for
each brew cycle. It is important to use enough coffee to avoid over extraction. A small
amount of coffee would be overwhelmed by a large volume of hot water. Krups recommends
using 7 grams of ground coffee per 5 oz cup of water. 7 grams can be measured in one
rounded tablespoon. If the resulting brew seems too strong you can adjust by using slightly
less ground coffee.
If you prefer a much lighter taste it is best to brew at the recommended ratio and dilute the
resulting brew with a measure of hot water. This allows the best flavor to be extracted from
the beans while avoiding over extraction of too small an amount of ground coffee.
THE WATER
The water is a critical factor in the taste of your brewed coffee. Filtered water is normally the
best choice to help avoid the minerals and chlorine that can be found in municipal water
systems. However if your water tastes good then it should be good for your coffee.
THE GRIND
For espresso coffee:
The Krups Fast-touch (F203) is acceptable for grinding beans for boiler type or steam
espresso machines. We do not recommend using the Fast-Touch to grind beans for use
with pump espresso machines. Pump espresso machines require a burr type grinder such
as the KRUPS GVX series or a similar professional style espresso grinder.
Burr grinders will prevent the introduction of coffee dust which can impede the flow of water
through the espresso machine.
