The amount will vary with the type of coffee and your individual taste. We suggest starting with two rounded teaspoons of medium-ground coffee per cup. storing coffee 29 Coffee is best kept in an airtight container in a cool dry place, or in the fridge. Exposure to air oxidises coffee and allows the flavour to evaporate. milk 30 There's a great deal of contention on the subject of milk in coffee. Our view is that personal taste should rule, not convention. If you like milk in your coffee, use warm or hot milk, to avoid overcooling the coffee. To extract maximum flavour from the coffee, it should be cool enough not to scald or burn the mouth, but hot enough to let the flavour fill the mouth, nose and sinuses, not just the taste buds. 5 bottled water 31 If you use bottled water, check that there are no added ingredients, flavourings, etc. , and use still water, not sparkling. The carbon dioxide which gives the sparkle will adversely affect the flavour of your coffee. taste 32 Don't be tempted to reheat coffee in the coffee maker. You'll damage the coffee maker and the coffee will be undrinkable. 33 Clean the filter holder, filter, and carafe after each use. Residue from a previous brew will spoil your coffee. 34 If left for much more than an hour, chemical changes in the coffee liquor start to affect the flavour.
