Brewing Tips
Use
the proper grind for your brewer. Coarse grinds create a
weak, watery coffee. A fine grind will make a stronger more
bitter brew... For espresso us a fine grind
Storing Your
Beans
The basic
idea in storing coffee beans is to prevent them from being
exposed to odors, moisture or open air. Coffee beans are
like little sponges that will absorb moisture and odors.
It is
generally recommended to keep coffee in an airtight
container (Preferably glass) in a cool dry place away from
direct sunlight. Do not store coffee in the refrigerator
because there are many odors in there that your coffee beans
will absorb
If
you decide to freeze your coffee beans, be sure to thaw only
what you are going to use immediately - leaving thawed
coffee alone will cause condensation to form on the beans -
which will absorb the water and become musty. Also, if you
refreeze thawed coffee you run the risk of causing the beans
to break and the absorbed condensation expands within.
