Coffee Making and Storing Tips

If you’re looking for tips on making and storing coffee, we’ve listed here a few suggestions that we hope you’ll find not only informative but helpful too.

· Unless you drink a lot of coffee it’s best to purchase coffee in small quantities.

· Coffee beans should ideally be used within four weeks and ground coffee within two.

· If you do not own a coffee grinder than coffee is best bought freshly ground or pre-ground in a vacuum-sealed pack.

· Coffee bought in a vacuum-sealed pack once opened will become stale within a relatively short amount of time and should therefore be used fairly promptly.

· If you only use ground coffee now and again it is more economical to buy a jar of good quality instant coffee and to only buy ground coffee when required, say for a special occasion.

· Different brewing methods may require a different grind of coffee.
