Coffee Brewing Tips and Facts
Be an expert...

  1. All our coffees are "Farmer Friendly"�! We only purchase coffee grown on Rainforest Alliance Certified farms and by or thru Fair Trade Organizations.
  2. Quality, gourmet coffee may cost a bit more, but... it will always produce a better tasting, more flavorful and satisfying cup of coffee!
  3. Farmer Friendly, gourmet coffees are lower in caffeine than store bought counterparts. Up to 70% less!
  4. Farmer Friendly Coffee has "NO" calories and has many health benefits. Lowers risk of heart disease, prostate cancer, liver disease and others to increasing the "Good" cholesterol levels.
  5. Our products are very fairly priced! A bag of coffee will make 12 pots of coffee. That's $1.00 a pot! Hot chocolate and cappuccino are just as fairly priced, Just pennies a cup!
  6. Drink your fresh coffee right away for the best flavor. Coffee will break down quickly if left on heat. Use an air-pot or thermal carafe to keep your coffee hot without a flavor breakdown.
  7. To preserve the flavor and freshness of Farmer Friendly gourmet coffee, always keep in an airtight, opaque container and store it in a cool dark place between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
  8. Just as inferior quality coffee can affect the taste and flavor, so can poor quality water. Always use fresh water. If your tap water taste good to drink, it should be fine for making quality coffee. If you notice any traces of chlorine, iron or any other peculiar tastes, use bottled or filtered water.
  9. Making great coffee is a balancing act. The wrong proportion of coffee to water can have a negative effect on taste. Too few grounds and weak coffee, too much and coffee is strong.
  10. For our gourmet coffee, we have found that one rounded tablespoon of coffee for every 6 ounces of water, or 1/2 measuring cup of coffee for each full 60 oz, pot is ideal.
  11. When it comes to brewing quality coffee, water temperature is all important. It helps determine which coffee flavors end up in your cup. The ideal water temperature for brewing is "just off the boil". (195-205 degrees Fahrenheit) Most home brewers will brew at the proper temperature.

NOTE: Our premium hot chocolate and cappuccinos are gluten free. They are both water soluble products. Vigorously mix 3-4 rounded teaspoons of product in 8 oz's. of very hot water. Adjust to taste.
