- When you store your coffee beans in the fridge or freezer, it doesn’t help keep them fresh. This is due to the fact that coffee beans are quite porous in them which will absorb all the different smells of the fridge. A dark air-tight container is the best way to store your coffee beans, in a room temperature room.
- Buying pre-ground coffee beans: Yes, it is easier to buy your coffee pre-ground, but as soon as the coffee is ground it immediately loses freshness. In order to keep your coffee fresh, it is best to grind your coffee beans just before brewing!
- When you use boiling water to brew your coffee, the bitterness and acidity are being extracted from the beans. Ideally, you want to brew your coffee at around 200 degrees Fahrenheit or 93 celsius.
- There are different types of grind for certain coffees. The fine grinds are for Aeropress or Espresso, medium grinds are for drip makers and coarse grinds are for a French Press.
