Coffee Making Tips
The Coffee
•
•Whole coffee beans are recommended and should be ground just before use.
•Coffee beans stored in an airtight container will keep up to
1 month before they begin to lose their flavour.
•Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer.
The Grind
•The coffee must be ground fine, but not too fine (the correct grind should look gritty, like sand or salt).
•If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow though the coffee even under pressure (this grind looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers).
•If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full flavoured extraction.
