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 pre ground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration date or a smaller quantity.
If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. 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.
Use approximately 1 tablespoon of grounds for each cup of coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds (3/4 table-spoon [11 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also cause the filter basket to overflow.
Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning” sections.

Care and Cleaning – Single-Serve Side

All coffeemakers should be cleaned at least once a month (once a week for areas with hard water).

Pour 1/2 cup (125 ml) of plain white vinegar and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of cold water into single-serve side reservoir.
Press I (ON) button. Press O (OFF) button after 30 seconds and wait 30 minutes. Press I (ON) button. Press O (OFF) button when finished.
Run 2–3 more brew cycles with CLEAN WATER only. Allow to cool between cycles.
Pour 1 pint (2 cups/500 ml) vinegar into carafe side reservoir.
Press I (ON) button. Press O (OFF) button after 30 seconds and wait 30 minutes. Press I (ON) button. Press O (OFF) button when finished.
Run 2–3 more brew cycles with CLEAN WATER only. Allow to cool between cycles.
