Coffee questions
Once roasted, coffee begins to lose its flavor the longer it’s exposed to air and moisture. We recommend that you buy your coffee weekly, storing it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place and grinding it just before brewing. Coffee in an unopened bag will stay fresh for several months.
For the freshest tasting coffee, we continue to recommend starting with whole beans and grinding them fresh for each pot. Or, if you prefer, you can take your whole bean coffee to your local retail store and ask them for a customized grind.
Drip makers perform best with either universal grind that is available in pre-ground coffees or with a grind specifically for a flat bottom or cone type filter. Espresso machines are grind-sensitive and require a very fine grind, 30-35 seconds in a blade grinder. Slow and fast shots are often caused by a grind that is too fine or too coarse, frozen or refrigerated espresso beans and tamping coffee too hard or not firmly enough.
Since it’s a “steeping method” of brewing, the coffee is totally infused with hot water, extracting the entire potential flavor from the coffee grounds. Simply add hot water to your freshly ground beans, let it steep, and press down gently on the plunger. This results in a heavier-bodied coffee with rich flavor. The metal screen filter within the press allows for an increased number of dissolved solids and therefore a bolder flavor. Also, a coarser ground coffee is preferred for this method to prevent over extraction.
