New Cuisinart coffee maker question?
I have the model with the two little black rotary knobs w/the toggle switch
in the middle (stainless). I have experimented w/different measuring levels of coffee on this thing, and can't quite get the perfect cup of coffee, or close to perfect I would say.
The instructions are somewhat vague on measuring. I use standard size coffee cups, and usually make only a half a pot. I grind my own coffee as well. Thanks for suggestions!
I think I have the same one. You can set the timer, have it beep when brewed, red light/green light, stainless steel carafe, etc. If that is the case, I think I can help.
I like to use 1 heaping scoop (tablespoon) per 250 ml(1 cup) water. My friend likes her coffee Starbucks style and uses 2 tablespoons per 250 ml water.
The reservoir shows 10 "cups" but after three pots, I finally figured out it is not 10 1-cup measures, but it is 10 "5-oz measures" (really confusing for a Canadian that doesn't know ounces)
When I fill the reservoir to the "10" I use 7 heaping tablespoons. If you like your coffee stronger, try 10 tablespoons to start. That makes one full pot. You'll have to look at how close to half you fill it and do the math - maybe start with 5 tablespoons for a half pot. Better to water it down "americano" style than be too weak.
If doing half a pot, you can turn the little selector dial to "1-4" That tells it you are doing a smaller pot and it will drip through slower. Might work out better.
When you grind your coffee, if it is too coarse, the coffee with be weak. If it is too fine, you will get brown sludge that settles at the bottom of your cup. This coffee maker has worked best for me when I use a grind setting right smack in the middle.
Lastly, I had a horrible pot of coffee last week. Looking at the beans after I ground them, I could see they were dryer than usual and light colored, not dark and almost greasy like it usually is.
