Tips for Coffee Making
There are a few small tips that if followed
correctly, can result in the best tasting coffee
from your Stainless Drip Filter.
- It is important that you use only finely
ground coffee in your Stainless Drip Filter.
This will result in optimum flavour and
aroma from your coffee. If you a grinding
your own beans, it is important that you
grind to the ‘Drip Filter’ setting, or the
finest grind adjustment. Using fresh beans
will result in the best output.
- If you have left over coffee, ensure that
this is stored in an air tight container in a
dry, cool dark place.
- Experiment with your desired flavour by
adding more or less ground coffee, or trying
different blends/ brands of coffee. This is
the best way to find a flavour that is ideal
for you.
