Uncle Bobos coffee tips |
- Coffee should ideally sit for up to 48 hrs after it is roasted to allow it to degas.
- Whole roasted beans will still taste great for up to a month if they are stored in an airtight container.
- Grind beans as you consume. if you cant grind, then buy small quantities often. Store ground coffee in an airtight container, in a cool dry place
(Not the fridge)
- The correct grind for the “machine” is very crucial. Coarse grinds specifically for Plunger /French press – finer for drip/filter, down to stovetop, finer again for espresso and finest, turkish.
- Use clean filtered water if possible. Don’t over boil water. Bring it to a rolling boil 93-95 cel.as boiling water will scald the grinds.
- Keep your coffee machine clean and use a descaler often.
