If you must add something creamy to your coffee, consider using real milk instead of whitener. Whitener is a frightening blend of ingredients you can’t pronounce, while milk of any sort – be it cream, homo, 2% or skim – provides protein, vitamin B12 and other great nutrients your body needs.
Buy your coffee directly from the roaster. You can do this easily online these days. A lot of places are willing to ship directly to you. Your coffee will arrive within a couple of days. This is the way to get the freshest roast coffee to drink every morning with breakfast.
Do not use tap water when you are making coffee unless your faucet is fitted with a device that will filter out all of the impurities. There are many people that have no problem with tap water, but the reality is that tap water that tastes bad will make your coffee taste just as bad.
For best coffee flavor, buy whole beans. Then, grind only the amount that you plan on using. You will find that your coffee has a stronger flavor. You will also use less product to make that fabulous taste. Additionally, you can create custom blends using different beans, so that you can impress your friends.
Does your coffee get stale because you cannot drink it fast enough? You should store it in an airtight container. Put your weekly dose of coffee into a smaller container and keep it in your freezer so it stays fresh. Store the rest of your coffee in a larger airtight container and open it only when you need to refill your smaller container.
To save money by buying bulk coffee without sacrificing flavor, measure out what you plan to use immediately and store it at room temperature. Coffee tastes best when it is brewed from room temperature grounds. Coffee you plan to use within the next week can go in the refrigerator, and the remaining beans or grounds should go in the freezer.
If your coffee machine is past its prime, try brewing a carafe of hot water before you brew your coffee. When the pot of water is hot, put in your grounds and pour the water into the machine. This will guarantee you a brew that is the hottest and tastes the best.
If you want to make a good cup of coffee, you have to use good quality water. You may want to use bottled water; even though you may think bottled water is a waste of money, it will make your coffee taste better. If you want to forgo bottled water, consider investing in a water filtration system. The purifier is not quite like bottled water, but it is still going to taste better than tap water.
Oh, now you’re ready! Get to the store, or find that nice bag of brew online that you’ve been waiting to buy. It’s time to relax and enjoy your cup of morning joe. Remember what you’ve read, and take that excitement to the store on your next trip to buy coffee.…
