TIPS FOR A GREAT CUP OF YOUR FAVORITE COFFEE:
A Perfect Start
The key to excellent coffee is freshness. Keep in mind…coffee’s enemies are oxygen and light. In order to maintain our standards of freshness, we recommend the following:
- Store fresh coffee in airtight containers in a cool and dry place.
- Keep coffee away from the following:
- Extreme temperatures (too hot or too cold)
- Light
- Moisture
- Strong odors
- Do not refrigerate the coffee. You may consider freezing your coffee if you must store it for any length of time.
Tips for Brewing the Perfect Cup
- Start with fresh roasted coffee.
- Make sure your equipment is clean: accumulated coffee oils contribute a stale taste to fresh coffee. Keep your brewing equipment clean with baking soda and non-abrasive sponges. Running vinegar through your brewer (and rinsing thoroughly) helps to remove any buildup (this should be done monthly).
- Use water that tastes good: Bottled water or a filter system works best. Impurities in hard and soft waters affect the taste of your coffee. Remember -- coffee is 98% water.
- Brew coffee at the correct temperature: 200 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal; this means bringing the water to a boil and waiting a minute before brewing.
- Use the correct grind and brewing time: different brewing techniques require different grinds. Espresso brewing requires a fine grind whereas drip methods require medium grind. A French Press or percolator requires a course grind. We'll grind your bean order (or part of your bean order) to match your brewing process.
- Use the correct amount of coffee: Two tablespoons (or one coffee measure) per 6 oz. cup is standard. Use more or less to your liking. It is easier to dilute coffee that is too strong than strengthen coffee that is too weak, however!
- Serve it fresh: If you leave coffee on a heater for over twenty minutes, it will lose flavor and taste bitter. The same thing happens when coffee is reheated. A flavorful cup is a cup that has been freshly brewed. The best way to get that good cup is to brew the coffee and save it in a preheated thermos, carafe, or airpot.
