Caleb's Coffee
Fresh Roasted Specialty Beans
Serving the Athens, Ohio Area
Ensuring the best coffee possible...
Here's what you can do if you want to make sure you're drinking the highest-quality coffee:
-
Get the freshest-roasted whole-bean coffee you can find. (For example, Caleb's Coffee.)
-
Buy smaller quantities of beans more often. (Caleb's Coffee offers 1/2lb. bags for only $5!)
-
Store in an air-tight container. (Caleb's Coffee is packed in freezer bags for maximum freshness.)
-
But don't store in the refrigerator or freezer! (This causes oils to emulsify and damages molecular structures of the delicate aromatic compounds that make coffee so wonderful.)
-
Grind the beans immediately before brewing. (The most interesting flavors begin to disappear within 15 minutes after grinding!) Electric blade grinders are great, but a burr grinder or even an antique hand-crank grinder wil preserve even more of the aromas.
-
While drip-maker coffee isn't bad, it's also fun to try a French press, or, if you prefer espresso-style coffee, you can use a Moka Pot on your stove.
