FAQ
Reader questions
How can I best preserve freshness after opening a bag of coffee?
Keep the beans in the original valve bag or transfer to an airtight canister, store in a cool, dark place, and avoid freezing to maintain aroma and oils.
What grind setting should I use for pour-over brewing?
Use a medium-fine grind similar to table salt, adjusting slightly finer for slower pours or coarser if the brew time is too long.
Why does my coffee taste bitter after a few minutes on a hot plate?
Extended heat exposure causes over-extraction; pour brewed coffee into a thermal carafe or enjoy it promptly to preserve balanced flavor.
Can water quality really change the flavor of coffee?
Yes, water hardness, chlorine, and mineral content interact with coffee compounds, so using clean, filtered water with balanced minerals improves clarity and sweetness.
