Product Features and Diagram of Parts (Ink) waler reservoir lid removable drip grate The coffee should be a freshly ground, dark roasted variety. You may want to try a French or Italian roast. Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavor for 7-8 days, provided It is stored in an air tight container, in a cool, dark area. Do not store in refrigerator or freezer.
