Coffee Making Tips
The Coffee
• Pre-ground coffee will only retain
its flavour for 1 week, provided it is
stored in an air tight container, in a
cool, dark area.
• 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.
