Krups recommends to use the following steps to make good tasting coffee:
1. Grind roasted beans yourself. Buy fresh beans every 1-2 weeks.
2. Grind beans just before brewing. The fineness of the grind depends on the type of coffee you will be brewing. Beans are finely ground for espresso and coarsely for a French press machine. Drip coffee machines generally use medium ground beans.
3. Filtered water makes better tasting coffee. Use about 1 to 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for 6 ounces of water.
4. Brewed coffee should be used immediately. It should not be reheated. Thermal carafes keep the coffee hot for about 4 hours.
