- BREWING TIPS -
The Beans
-
Freshly roasted coffee beans create the best flavor 2 weeks after they are roasted. Purchase the right amount of coffee based on your consumption.
-
If you are puchasing whole beans, grind only the amount being used and follow the industry recommendation on grind size based on the different types of brewing methods.
-
Burr grinder is the preferred choice over blade grinder in the coffee industry because it provides more uniform grinds.
Storage
-
To preserve the freshness of your coffee beans, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
-
If you cannot consumed within the recommended time period (2 weeks), coffee can be stored in freezer using an airtight container - make sure that it is a true airtight container to prevent freezer burn. It is not recommended by experts to store coffee in the refrigerator because coffee absorbs moistures, ordors, and tastes.
