THE QUEST FOR
THE PERFECT CUP
OF COFFEE
It is generally agreed that there are four
basic elements critical to the perfect cup
of coffee:
Element 1: Water
Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the
quality of the water is as important as the
quality of the coffee. A good rule of thumb
is that if your water doesn't taste good from
the tap, it won't taste any better in your
coffee.
Element 2: Coffee
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the
flavor should be from the coffee. To achieve
the same great quality cup of coffee you
receive at a coffee bar, you need to use the
same quality beans.
Buy the beans fresh and whole, only about
two weeks' supply at a time for maximum
freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken,
its flavor degrades very quickly. That's why
the Grind & Brew Thermal" grinds your
coffee just prior to brewing. If it is not
practical to buy small supplies, we
recommend you separate larger amounts
of beans into one to two week portions
immediately after purchase, and freeze
them in airtight containers. The best way
to maximize freshness is to minimize
exposure to air, light and moisture. So, once
beans have been removed from the freezer,
maintain them in a sealed container at room
temperature, since damaging condensation
occurs every time the beans are removed
from the freezer or refrigerator. Note that
some coffee experts advise against
freezing dark-roast beans, because
freezing can cause the oils to coagulate.
Other experts disagree. We suggest you
experiment and decide for yourself.
Element 3: Grind
The grind is critical for proper flavor
extraction. If the grind is too fine,
overextraction and bitterness will result.
Too fine a grind may also clog the filter.
If grind is too coarse, the water will pass
through too quickly and the desired flavors
will not be extracted. The Grind & Brew
Thermal
-
is preset for a medium grind, the
optimal grind for this type of coffeemaker.
Element 4: Proportion
The Grind & Brew Thermal
-
makes up to
ten (10) 5-ounce cups of coffee.
Using Whole Beans
•
We recommend you use 1 level scoop
of whole beans per cup. Maximum 14
level scoops. For 1 or 2 cups, use 11/2
level scoops per cup. Adjust the recipe
according to individual taste.
THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY IS 14 LEVEL
SCOOPS OF WHOLE BEANS.
DO NOT OVERFILL OR THE GRINDER
COULD MALFUNCTION AND/OR THE
COFFEEMAKER COULD OVERFLOW.
Using Pre-Ground Coffee
Although it is preferable to use fresh, whole
beans, you can make coffee in the Grind &
Brew Thermal
-
using pre-ground beans.
To do so, turn off the grinder by pressing the
"Grind Off" button before turning on the unit
Our recipe
We suggest that you use 1 level scoop of
ground coffee per cup. Adjust the recipe to
your taste.
NOTE: THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY
FOR GROUND COFFEE IS 16 LEVEL
SCOOPS, USING EITHER A PAPER
OR GOLD TONE COMMERCIAL STYLE
PERMANENT FILTER. EXCEEDING THIS
AMOUNT MAY CAUSE OVERFLOW.
