Lesson 8: Fresh! Fresh! Fresh!‏

In today's lesson, I am going to tell you the big secret about how
to get the very best out of coffee.

It is 'Fresh', 'Fresh' and 'Fresh'!

It so easy. Just follow these three steps and great coffee can be
yours:

Number One Fresh: Fresh coffee!

Have you ever heard the saying that you cannot make a silk purse
out of a sows ear? Well, you can't make good coffee from beans that
are stale, it just wont work.

It needs to be freshly roasted. A good roaster will give you a
roasted on date, and if they don't then you ask them when the
coffee was roasted.


Number Two Fresh: Freshly Ground!

If at all possible do not buy pre-ground coffee. The grinding
process releases many of the aromatics in coffee and these are soon
lost if the grinds are not used straight away. Additionally, a
greater surface area of the bean is exposed to oxygen as it is
ground and this increases the speed at which the coffee stales,
making the cup inferior if the grinds are stored. Having a good
grinder is the one certain way to improve your enjoyment of coffee.


Number Three Fresh: Fresh Water!

Water makes up over 98% of the final cup. It is imperative that you
use fresh, if possible filtered, water. The better the quality of
the water used, the better the quality of the final cup will be too.

Have you used that coffee you bought a week ago with the last
roasted coffee coupon code? Remember you need to keep it fresh.

Well here is another just use 887767b for another 10% of a roasted

So there we are, the lesson today was very simple and extremely
important: Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! Tomorrow, we will look at
potential reasons for and against roasting your own coffee and
another offer.
