Many experts recommend buying beans roasted no darker than a medium roast, the color of which appears as an even chocolate brown. This roast preserves the natural sugars and flavor of the bean, and sets the stage for an excellent cup of coffee. A medium roast is the darkest a bean can be roasted without oils developing on the surface. ADVICE FOR GREAT TASTE Darkly roasted beans – which appear dark brown or nearly black – look great, but the extra roasting will overwhelm the more delicate coffee flavors and caramelize any sugars. A heavy “roasted” coffee flavor, often bitter and sharp, will predominate with a dark roast. To preserve the freshness of coffee beans: Keep beans in an opaque, air-tight container and store them in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not recommended, as 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 the flavor. 24 The Right Grind Freshly ground coffee loses flavor and aroma quickly – within minutes. The best cup of coffee will always come from coffee beans that are ground just before brewing. A proper grind is critical for good coffee, and that means using a quality burr grinder like the PRO LINE® Series Burr Coffee Mill or the KitchenAid® Model A-9™ Coffee Mill. A good burr grinder will produce an extremely consistent grind with little frictional heating, and preserve the full flavor of your coffee. Be sure to grind your coffee to the correct size – use a medium grind level appropriate for automatic drip coffee makers. Feel free to experiment with slightly finer or coarser grinds, but don’t overdo it: too fine a grind will result in very bitter coffee, and too coarse a grind will produce weak flavor. If the correct grind is used, adding more coffee simply makes a brew stronger without making it excessively bitter. The Proper Amount of Ground Coffee For standard drip-process coffee, a good starting point is to use 1 ounce of coffee for every 4 cups of brew water as measured with the carafe (a carafe “cup” is about 41.4 ounces). Finer grinds usually require less coffee, but using too fine a grind will produce bitterness and may cause water to overflow the brew basket. If you prefer substantially weaker-than-average coffee, it’s best to brew using a normal amount of ground coffee and then dilute the result with hot water. Doing this will maximize flavor and minimize bitterness. Brew Water Purity The PRO LINE® Series water filter that comes with your coffee maker is one of the most effective in the industry at removing off-tastes and contaminants from your brew water. It also softens the water and extends the time between coffee maker descalings. For great tasting coffee, be sure to use the filter – and replace it promptly when the water filter icon appears on the brew timer display. Where local water quality is extremely poor, you may wish to use bottled, purified water with your coffee maker. Do not use distilled water or mineral water – they can damage the coffee maker. If the coffee maker hasn’t been used in awhile, run it through a complete brewing cycle without coffee. Use a full carafe of clean, cool water. This rinses the water reservoir, heat pump, and showerhead, and eliminates any stale water within the unit. FEATURES AND OPERATION Continued… 25 COFFEE BREWING SUGGESTIONS: ADVICE FOR GREAT TASTE Coffee Maker Cleanliness Coffee oils build up quickly within the brew basket and carafe. Over time, these oils will go stale and taint the flavor of freshly brewed coffee. Daily cleaning of the brew basket, brew basket insert, and carafe is strongly recommended for the best-tasting coffee. Warming Plate Temperature If you intend to keep coffee on the warming plate for an extended period, use the “low” temperature setting. This will help preserve coffee flavor. 26 ® PRO LINESERIES CARE AND CLEANING Care and Cleaning Section Contents Cleaning the Coffee Maker ...............28 Descaling..........................................29 Storing the Coffee Maker .................30 Cleaning the Optional Permanent Filter ..............30 Troubleshooting & Error Codes .........31 CARE AND CLEANING 27 CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning the Coffee Maker 1. Unplug the coffee maker. 2. Remove the brew basket insert from the brew basket. 3. Wash the brew basket, brew basket insert, carafe, and carafe lid in hot, soapy water and rinse with hot water. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. These parts can also be washed in the upper rack of the dishwasher. 4. Wipe the coffee maker housing with a clean damp cloth, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. 28 Descaling Calcium deposits (“scale”) from water will build up in the coffee maker heat pump over time and impair brewing efficiency and coffee quality. With normal use, scale should be removed every three months or whenever the water filter icon appears on the brew timer display. Local water conditions...
