• I recommend using freshly drawn purified water.  Tap water tends to have very high levels of chlorine, fluoride, and other contaminants that negatively affect coffee flavor.
• As with most cooking projects, you should always start with cold water.  Re-heated water can make coffee taste flat.
• If you grind your own coffee beans, only grind as much as you are going to use that day.  And try to brew it as soon as you can after grinding.
• Proper maintenance of your brewing equipment can make a world of difference.  Nobody likes cooking food in a dirty pan.  Why would you make coffee in a dirty coffeemaker?
