THE RATIO
The amount of ground coffee must be carefully measured against the volume of water
for each brew cycle. It is important to use enough coffee to avoid over extraction. A
small amount of coffee would be overwhelmed by a large volume of hot water. The
carafe measures "cups" as 5 oz each. Maximum capacity is slightly more than 50 oz
total water volume before brewing. The volume of brewed coffee will be slightly less
because the ground coffee will absorb a certain amount.
Krups recommends using 7 grams of ground coffee per 5 oz cup of water. 7 grams can
be measured in one rounded tablespoon.
If the resulting brew seems too strong you can adjust by using slightly less ground
coffee. If you prefer a much lighter taste it is best to brew at the recommended ratio
and dilute the resulting brew with a measure of hot water. This allows the best flavor to
be extracted from the beans while avoiding over extraction of too small an amount of
ground coffee.
THE WATER
The water is a critical factor in the taste of your brewed coffee. Filtered water is
normally the best choice to help avoid the minerals and chlorine that can be found in
municipal water systems. However if your water tastes good then it should be good for
your coffee.
Never pour milk, prepared coffee, tea, etc. into a water tank.
THE GRIND
The method of grinding and the level of fineness of the grind have a significant impact
on the resulting taste of the brewed coffee. Ideally you should grind fresh roasted
whole beans just before brewing. Be aware that this machine is set to brew the most
common grinds found on store shelves. Typically pre-ground coffees are of a similar
size, medium-coarse. A very fine grind will produce much stronger flavors but risks
becoming extracted during the brew cycle producing a more bitter taste. You can learn
more about coffee grinding and about Krups range of grinders at our website
