Coffee should not be left on the burner for more than 15 minutes. After this time, store any leftover brewed coffee in an airtight thermos or carafe. Leftover coffee should not be reheated because it will taste bitter and stale. When brewing, use cold, fresh water. It makes the best cup of coffee.
Hot water can cause poor flavor.
Bottled water should be used if off flavors are present in your tap water. When trying a new blend of Folgers, use the recommended amount of coffee. You can then appropriately adjust the amount of coffee needed to meet your taste preferences. Experiment with different coffee varieties such as Folgers Colombian Supreme, Gourmet Supreme, and French Roast to find the coffee that best suits your taste. Always allow the coffee maker to complete its brew cycle before drinking the coffee.
