What does CPR mean in FOOD & NUTRITION

Generally speaking, it is best to refill your coffee pot after every use, such as when all of the existing coffee has been consumed. This will ensure that you always have adequate fresh grounds and water for brewing a cup of quality coffee.

While it ultimately comes down to personal preference, in most cases it is best to use filtered or purified bottled water rather than tap water. Tap water may contain elements that can produce off-flavors in the resulting brew, while most bottled waters are specially treated and designed specifically for use with beverage machines like coffeemakers.

When refilling your brewer, you should select beans that are freshly roasted and ground specifically for use with a coffeemaker (as opposed to pre-ground varieties). Freshly ground beans from whole beans retain much more flavor and yield better tasting results than pre-ground store bought options.

The amount of ground beans that should be added depends entirely on the size and capacity of your coffeemaker's filter basket; however, generally speaking 1 tablespoon per 6 ounces of water is recommended for optimal flavor extraction from the grounds.

Yes! Many modern brewers come equipped with pitchers or travel mugs that feature an integrated double-wall vacuum insulation system which keeps brewed beverages hot much longer than regular pitchers or mugs would allow. This allows you to brew enough cups of joe at once, so you don't need to constantly check on and refill your serving pitcher throughout the day.
