Is coffee in the morning enjoyable to you? Get in line with everyone else that does! Do you purchase the same brand of coffee because you are too busy to consider other options? Consider taking the time to learn more about other options. Keep this advice in mind as you enjoy your coffee.
Better quality is more expensive. If you drink a lot of coffee, make sure to put your money in the tools, instruments and grinds. If you decide to take the least expensive road to your coffee, your wallet might be happy but your taste buds will not.
French presses are popular for coffee making because the resulting coffee is highly flavored. Paper filters tend to absorb coffee’s flavorful oils. But French presses employ a plunger mechanism that works to send coarse coffee beans to the carafe’s floor. This increases the amount of flavorful oils in your container.
Your coffee should be kept in a container that is airtight. Prolonged exposure to air will weaken your beans, giving them a stale and weak flavor. Stay away from square bags, particularly if they have one-way valves. This type of bag is best only for allowing freshly roasted beans to cool down.
If you purchase coffee beans, do not keep them inside of the package it came in. You have to keep the beans in an opaque, airtight container. This allows it to stay fresh longer.
Only use an airtight container to store your favorite coffee in the refrigerator. Prevent your coffee from absorbing odd odors from other foods by making sure the container is perfectly airtight. Storing coffee for a period of weeks in the wrong container can lead to moist beans or grounds.
If you need to cut back on sugar in your diet, you can use other sweeteners. Those who have to watch their blood sugar levels should try Agave nectar which contains sugar, but is safe for diabetics. Low-cal sweeteners, such as Splenda and Stevia, can also be used.
