Many factors effect brewing the perfect cup of coffee. The most important? Your coffee maker and filter container need to be cleaned at least once a week as bitter oils will stick to the glass container and plastic filter holders. Also, before making your perfect cup follow these steps:
  • Always protect coffee from moisture, light and air to preserve the flavor.
  • Keep coffee in an air tight container and store in dark, cool place.
  • Freezing fresh coffee will prolong its life. But daily removal from the freezer can cause moisture to freeze on the coffee and effect its flavor.
  • Always use the best quality beans. Arabica beans are known as "specialty coffee" and "gourmet coffee".
  • Use a quality bottled or filtered water. Any traces of chlorine, iron, or other minerals will effect the flavor.
