Brew Temperature:
For best results coffee is brewed at 200°F ± 5°.
To avoid extracting unwanted bitter elements from the spent grounds into your beverage always remove the brew basket and spent grounds from the brewer immediately after the brewcycle has been completed.
Coffee Brews in Layers:
Coffee brews in layers with the first portion of the beverage being very strong and the last being very weak. It is therefore recommended that coffee be mixed or stirred in the brewer holding chamber prior to serving to make a beverage of consistent strength and taste throughout the batch.
Holding Brewed Coffee:
For best results brewed coffee is held at 185°F ± 5°. Fresh brewed coffee will taste fresh for about 20-25 minutes. After that time it begins to deteriorate quickly. The aroma fades, the taste becomes bitter, and the color of the brew becomes cloudy. Decanting the brew in a thermal carafe or tank will extend the fresh life of the brew somewhat, but no coffee should be served
longer than a half (1/2) hour after it was brewed. Coffee should never be reheated.
