Coffee Tips

Grind just enough coffee for the one sitting. A quick brewing process will require a fine grind, whereas a longer process requires a grind that is more coarse. Be sure to only grind as many coffee beans as you will be using immediately. Practice will help your judgement in deciding how much coffee you will need to use. You can find high quality, burr coffee grinders at coffee-grinders.com.

Brew coffee as soon as possible after grinding it, since flavours tend to fade quickly shortly after coffee has been grounded. This means that you should devote a bit more time in preparing that perfect cup of coffee. Drink it soon thereafter, because fresh coffee always tastes better than stale coffee. The longer you wait to drink it, the more bitter it gets. You should also stay away from reheating coffee, as the flavour will change - and not for the better. Find yourself coffee jobs if you are passionate about coffee.
