Exposure to air oxidises coffee and allows the flavour to evaporate. milk 32 There's a great deal of contention on the subject of milk in coffee. 33 If you like milk in your coffee, use warm or hot milk, to avoid overcooling the coffee. 34 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. bottled water 35 If you use bottled water, check that there are no added ingredients, flavourings, etc. The carbon dioxide which gives the sparkle will adversely affect the flavour of your coffee. taste 36 Don't be tempted to reheat coffee in the coffee maker. You'll damage the coffee maker and the coffee will be undrinkable. 38 If left for much more than about an hour, chemical changes in the coffee liquor start to affect the flavour. It's best to pour it away and make a fresh pot. care and maintenance 39 Unplug the coffee maker and let it cool down fully. 41 Use the filter handle to lift out the filter, then tip the used coffee grounds into the bin.
