FAQs
What is the difference between a peaberry and regular coffee beans?
Imagine a coffee cherry as a tiny fruit with two seeds inside. Normally, those seeds are flat against each other like two peanut halves in a shell. But sometimes, one of those seeds doesnât have a partner, and it develops into a peaberry. So, while regular beans come in pairs, peaberries are solo acts. Theyâre often said to have a more concentrated flavour, but itâs all about personal taste!
How soon before brewing should I grind my coffee?
Grind your coffee beans just before youâre about to brew your cup of joe. Think of it like this: the fresher the grind, the fresher the flavour. So, grind it right before youâre ready to brew, and youâll be golden!
How long will my coffee last after opening?
After cracking open the bag, aim to use it up within a couple of weeks for the freshest taste. After that, the flavour starts to fade, but it wonât go badâjust wonât be as vibrant. Keep it sealed tight and away from light and air to preserve its freshness as long as possible.
What grind setting should I use for each roast level?
Light Roast:Â Go for a medium to medium-fine grind. Light roasts are delicate, so a finer grind helps extract their bright flavours without overpowering them.
Medium Roast:Â Stick with a medium grind. Itâs like the Goldilocks zoneânot too fine, not too coarse. This grind lets you taste the balanced flavors without any bitterness.
Dark Roast: Opt for a coarser grind. Dark roasts are bold and intense, so a coarser grind helps prevent over-extraction, giving you a smooth cup without the burnt taste.
Remember, these are just starting points! Feel free to adjust based on your taste preferences and brewing method.
