• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly
sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee flavor, buy whole beans and grind them finely just before
brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately
after brewing.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the extraction
of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted
coffees are used. Overextraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean
your Coffee Maker.
