4. CHEFS’ TIPS AND HINTS
• For a more flavourful coffee, use freshly ground coffee. Its
flavour and aroma will develop even further when brewing.
• For a lightly flavoured coffee, place a cinnamon stick, some
vanilla or a cardamom seed, for example, in the coffee pot.
• Reheating coffee that has gone cold is not recommended. Its
taste will be altered and it will lose its aroma.
• Be sure to use the amounts of coffee recommended in the
Cuisinart® recipe booklet.
