COFFEE BREWING TIPS • Stir coffee in carafe before serving to evenly distribute the flavor. • Coffee that is poured during brewing cycle may vary in strength from the finished brew. • Not sure how much coffee to use? Begin by using 1 level tablespoon of medium grind coffee for each cup of coffee to be brewed. • For variety, add a 2-inch piece of lemon or orange peel to the coffee grounds before brewing. • For a special occasion, whip some heavy cream with 1 or 2 tablespoons of hazel nut, chocolate or almond liqueur. Use to top off each cup of coffee. • Add a 2-inch piece of vanilla bean to the sugar bowl. You’ll be surprised at how good it tastes. • Keep your coffeemaker scrupulously clean; you will be pleased with the flavor. Care and Cleaning This product contains no user serviceable parts.
