When people think of coffee, they usually think of its ability to provide an energy boost. However, according to some research, it can also offer some other important health benefits, such as a lower risk of liver cancer, type 2 diabetes, and heart failure.
Choosing the right grind
Remember that air and humidity are the coffees worst enemies. Coffee should be stored in a clean, dry, airtight container, in a cool, dark place and away from intense scent. If you do not intend to drink you coffee in 15 days, store in the freezer, in an airtight container.
Each processing step shortens the coffee’s lifetime. Whereas raw coffee can be stored for years, roasted coffee will loses its aroma in two weeks at the latest, if stored improperly. If it is ground, it loses its unique aroma within in few days. For proper extraction, it is essential to grind coffee properly. It is ideal to use freshly ground coffee for the perfect taste. Each coffee brewing method requires a different grind size:
- French Press - coarse grind.
- Drip coffee makers (paper, plastic, metal filter) – medium grind.
- Espresso machines, espresso stove top makers – fine grind.
- Greek/ Cyprus coffee – extra fine/powdered grind.
The dosage determines the strength, taste and beneficial quality of the coffee. For one cup of coffee take 6-8g of ground coffee.
Storage tip
Remember that air and humidity are the coffees worst enemies. Coffee should be stored in a clean, dry, airtight container, in a cool, dark place and away from intense scent. If you do not intend to drink you coffee in 15 days, store in the freezer, in an airtight container.
Water
Coffee is 98% water, so the quality of your brew is heavily dependent upon the quality of the water that you use. Freshly drawn tap water is fine in most cases. Remember, the “harder” your water is the stronger your coffee will be. “Hardness” minerals in water can, however, impart peculiar or undesirable tastes in your coffee.
The recommended brewing temperature of coffee is 93-96°C.
