For best results .....
....Always use fresh, cold water (warm water
might be stale and have mineral deposits
which would impair the flavor of the coffee)
... We recommend that you grind your own
beans. Freshly ground beans deliver more
aroma and flavor. Use one KRUPS measuring
scoop of beans per cup.
....Serve coffee immediately after brewing.
....Never reheat coffee.
