Coffee Brewing Suggestions:

Advice For Great Taste

Fresh Coffee Beans

Truly great coffee can only come from fresh

coffee beans. To preserve the freshness of

your beans, keep the beans in an opaque,

airtight container and store them in a cool,

dry place. Refrigeration is not recommended

since condensation tends to form on the

beans whenever the container is opened.

Freezing can help preserve beans stored for

an extended period, but it will also impair

flavor.

The Right Grind

The best cup of coffee comes from coffee

beans that are properly ground just before

brewing. When grinding, be sure to grind

your coffee to a medium grind level, the

appropriate grind for automatic drip coffee

makers.

Look for the KitchenAid™ blade or burr

coffee grinders at your local retailer or

online at www.KitchenAid.com.

The Proper Amount of Ground Coffee

A good starting point is 1-2 Tbsp. of coffee

for every 6 oz. of brew water marked on the

water tank. Finer grinds usually require less

coffee but may also produce bitterness and

clog the filter.

For weaker coffee, brew using the suggested

ratio of coffee grounds and water, then dilute

with hot water. This maximizes flavor and

minimizes bitterness.

Brew Water Purity

Great tasting coffee starts with fresh water.

The removable water tank is easy to fill with

water to give you great tasting coffee every

time. It’s also easy to clean so you can always

make your coffee with the freshest water.

Where local water is extremely poor, you

may wish to use bottled water. Do not use

distilled water or mineral water since they

can damage your coffee maker.

Coffee Maker Cleanliness

Since the coffee oils that build up on the

brew basket and carafe can go stale and

impair the flavor of the brewed coffee, it’s

important that these two items are cleaned

daily in order to make the best tasting coffee.
