Home brewing guidelines for fresh roasted coffees

To get the most flavor our of our freshly roasted beans, follow a few simple steps and brew the best cup of coffee time after time.

1. Use freshly-drawn, COLD filtered water. Great water makes great coffee.
2. Choose your coffee filter preference; natural brown, oxygen-whitened, or gold mesh filter for your coffee maker.
3. Use 1 heaping tablespoon of freshly ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water. Adjust the coffee for personal preference.
4. Brewed coffee should be removed from heat source and transferred to a pre-heated thermal carafe, immediately after brewing.
5. Clean all coffee equipment after each use.

Preserve your coffee’s freshness

• Ground coffee typically tastes best within 7 days; whole bean coffee tastes best within 2 weeks of purchase.
• We recommend buying coffee 1 – 2 weeks at a time.
• Only brew as much as you can drink in twenty minutes.
• Coffee (whole bean and ground) should be stored in a dry, airtight container at room temperature, out of direct light. Never refrigerate or freeze your coffee! (Coffee will absorb flavors and aromas of other food products.)
