The secrets of brewing good coffee

5 key factors :

The freshness of your ground coffee.

To ensure none of the freshness of your ground coffee is lost, avoid all unnecessary
exposure to air. After opening the packet, close it as tightly as possible, squeezing
all the air out, and place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Water quality.

A cup of coffee is more than 98% water! Your coffeemaker is fitted with a water
filter to remove the taste of chlorine from tap water. To improve the life expectancy
of your appliance, use water with a low mineral content (soft water).

The ground coffee / water ratio.

The optimum ratio varies between 50g and 75g of coffee per litre, i.e. if you use
the measuring spoon supplied with your appliance :

- Normal coffee : 1 level spoonful per cup

- Strong coffee : 1 heaped spoonful per cup

Water temperature.

The water passing through your ground coffee must be simmering, but never
boiling. Your coffeemaker’s thermostat guarantees that it is at the optimum
temperature for brewing coffee.

Steeping time.

If you only wish to brew enough for 1-5 cups, the ground coffee must be allowed
to steep for longer, so that it releases all its flavour. This is why your appliance is
equipped with an aroma selector, so that you always obtain the same quality of
coffee, whatever the quantity.

Tips :

As far as possible, please avoid reheating your coffee ! The best way of keeping
your coffee hot over a long period is to use a thermos coffee pot.
