THE PERFECT BALANCE. ELEMENT 1: WATER Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coffee. If water doesn't taste good from the tap, it won't taste good in your coffee. It is suggested that filtered water be used to achieve the purest coffee flavor, every time you brew. ELEMENT 2: TEMPERATURE The cold brew process never exposes coffee to high temperatures. Instead, coffee is brewed using cool water, which extracts less of the acidic oils that can cause coffee flavor to be a little bitter. The result of cold brewing is a naturally smooth, perfectly balanced cup of coffee. ELEMENT 3: COFFEE While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor comes from the beans. Once the bean is broken, its flavor degrades quickly. To achieve the same great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, buy only a two-week supply of fresh coffee beans at a time. ELEMENT 4: PROPORTION Coffee that is too strong or too weak is always a disappointment. Follow the recommended recipe in the instructions under MAKING COFFEE, and later adjust the amount to your taste. 4
