Fresh Coffee Beans 

Truly great coffee can only come from fresh 

coffee beans. To preserve the freshness of 

your beans, keep the beans in an opaque, 

airtight container and store them in a cool, 

dry place. Refrigeration is not recommended 

since condensation tends to form on the 

beans whenever the container is opened. 

Freezing can help preserve beans stored for 

an extended period, but it will also impair 

flavor.
The Right Grind 

The best cup of coffee comes from coffee 

beans that are properly ground just before 

brewing. When grinding, be sure to grind 

your coffee to a medium grind level, the 

appropriate grind for automatic drip coffee 

makers.
Look for the KitchenAid™ blade or burr 

coffee grinders at your local retailer or  

online at www.KitchenAid.com.

A good starting point is 1-2 Tbsp. of coffee 

for every 6 oz. of brew water marked on the 

water tank. Finer grinds usually require less 

coffee but may also produce bitterness and 

clog the filter.
For weaker coffee, brew using the suggested 

ratio of coffee grounds and water, then dilute 

with hot water. This maximizes flavor and 

minimizes bitterness.
Brew Water Purity 

Great tasting coffee starts with fresh water. 

The removable water tank is easy to fill with 

water to give you great tasting coffee every 

time. It’s also easy to clean so you can always 

make your coffee with the freshest water. 
Where local water is extremely poor, you 

may wish to use bottled water. Do not use 

distilled water or mineral water since they 

can damage your coffee maker.
Coffee Maker Cleanliness 

Since the coffee oils that build up on the 

brew basket and carafe can go stale and 

impair the flavor of the brewed coffee, it’s 

important that these two items are cleaned 

daily in order to make the best tasting coffee.
