840126600 ENv05.qxd 9/1/04 1:39 PM Page 9 Tips to Brew Good Coffee Quality coffee comes from quality ingredients. For the best coffee, you should start with freshly ground coffee from freshly roasted beans. The beans can be purchased and stored in an airtight container. Just prior to brewing, remove the amount needed and grind the beans. Once the bean is broken, the intense, rich flavor begins to deteriorate. If the beans are ground too finely, it will produce a bitter taste.

Make sure the filter basket is empty. 3. Place empty carafe on Keep-Hot Plate. 4. Pour one pint of plain white vinegar into the reservoir. 5.
