Roasting Coffee

Grinding Coffee

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][edgtf_separator position=”left” width=”120px” thickness=”3″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]If you buy whole bean coffee, always grind your beans as close to the brew time as possible for maximum freshness. A burr or mill grinder is best because the coffee is ground to a consistent size.

A blade grinder is less preferable because some coffee will be ground more finely than the rest. If you normally grind your coffee at home with a blade grinder, try having it ground at the store with a burr grinder.[/vc_column_text][/edgtf_elements_holder_item][edgtf_elements_holder_item item_padding=”0 0 0 0″ target=”_self” item_padding_1024_1280=”0 0 0 0″][vc_single_image image=”12026″ img_size=”full”][/edgtf_elements_holder_item][/edgtf_elements_holder][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1484576041198{padding-top: 120px !important;padding-bottom: 120px !important;}”][vc_column][edgtf_elements_holder number_of_columns=”two-columns” switch_to_one_column=”1024″][edgtf_elements_holder_item target=”_self” item_padding_1024_1280=”0 0 0 0″][vc_single_image image=”13388″ img_size=”full”][/edgtf_elements_holder_item][edgtf_elements_holder_item item_padding=”0 4% 0 8%” target=”_self” item_padding_768_1024=”8% 2% 0 3%” item_padding_600_768=”10% 0% 0 3%” item_padding_480=”15% 0% 0 3%”][vc_column_text]

Brewing

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][edgtf_separator position=”left” width=”120px” thickness=”3″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]The amount of time that the water is in contact with the coffee grounds is another important flavor factor.

In a drip system, the contact time should be approximately 5 minutes. If you are making your coffee using a French Press, the contact time should be 2-4 minutes. Espresso has an especially brief brew time — the coffee is in contact with the water for only 20-30 seconds.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][/edgtf_elements_holder_item][/edgtf_elements_holder][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1486725195855{padding-top: 120px !important;padding-bottom: 120px !important;background-color: #f2f0ea !important;}”][vc_column][edgtf_elements_holder number_of_columns=”two-columns” switch_to_one_column=”1024″][edgtf_elements_holder_item item_padding=”2% 11% 0 0″ target=”_self” item_padding_768_1024=”0 3% 6% 3%” item_padding_600_768=”0% 0% 7% 3%” item_padding_480=”0 0% 12% 3%”][vc_column_text]

Tasting

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][edgtf_separator position=”left” width=”120px” thickness=”3″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]Coffee is repeatedly tested for quality and taste.  This process is referred to as cupping and usually takes place in a room specifically designed to facilitate the process.

Samples from a variety of batches and different beans are tasted daily. Coffees are not only analyzed to determine their characteristics and flaws, but also for the purpose of blending different beans or creating the proper roast. An expert cupper can taste hundreds of samples of coffee a day and still taste the subtle differences between them.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/edgtf_elements_holder_item][edgtf_elements_holder_item target=”_self” item_padding_1024_1280=”0 0 0 0″][vc_single_image image=”11977″ img_size=”full”][/edgtf_elements_holder_item][/edgtf_elements_holder][/vc_column][/vc_row]
