Choose your beans wisely. It is best to use premium whole beans from a trusted brand or roaster.
Arabica beans provide the best flavors and have less caffeine and while Robusta beans are easier
to grow and less expensive, they have less flavor and higher caffeine content. Robusta beans are
sometimes used in blends to add a particular bitterness to the brew.
Beans can be roasted very lightly to provide a smooth aromatic taste or roasted dark to provide
stronger flavors, and anywhere in between.
A good roaster will be able to describe the flavors that the beans will impart to your brewed coffee.
Note: Experiment with different beans and different roasts to identify one or several that suit your tastes.

The heating plate will maintain the temperature in the carafe for up to 2 hours after which the machine
shuts off automatically. This is for safety and convenience. For best results brew only as much coffee as
