The Quest for the Perfect Cup of Coffee | ||
|---|---|---|
| Water | Any hot beverage is made up primarily of water. Often overlooked the quality of the water is as important as the quality of the coffee tea or cocoa. A good rule of thumb is that if your water doesn’t taste good from the tap it won’t taste any better in your beverage. That’s why the Cuisinart Single Serve Brewing System has added a charcoal water filter that removes chlorine bad tastes and odors for the purest cup every time. Cuisinart recommends changing the water filter every 60 days or after 60 uses and more often it you have hard water. |  The Cuisinart SS-700 Single-Serve Brewing System |
| Coffee | While the bulk of the liquid is water all of the flavor should be from the coffee tea or cocoa. To achieve the same great quality you receive at coffee bars you need to use the same quality ingredients. By using the K-Cup brought to you by some of the most premium brands on the market you can be assured that you’re getting the finest freshest gourmet product with every cup you brew. If you choose to make your own coffee make sure all your ingredients are at their freshest. | |
| Grind | The grind of coffee and cocoa or the refinement of your tea leaves is critical for proper flavor extraction. With the pre-measured pre-ground ingredients found in every K-Cup you can rest easy knowing that it’ll brew perfectly each and every time locking in maximum flavor and freshness. | |
| Proportion | No matter which cup size you choose the Cuisinart Single Serve Brewing System working in conjunction with K-Cup always produces the perfect cup every time. When grinding your own coffee remember to add the amount of ground coffee that corresponds to the number of ounces being used. | |
