Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee • All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee. • Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If buying preground coffee, chose a package with the latest expiration date or a smaller quantity. • If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/ medium grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding. 6 • Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-tasting coffee than tap water. • Use approximately 1 tablespoon of grounds for each cup of coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use about 1/3 less grounds when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. • Make sure your coffee maker is clean. See "Care and Cleaning" section.
