Tips To Perfect Coffee and a Hot Second Cup!


Tip 1 :
While waiting for your kettle to boil, pre-heat your french press with hot water
(just like a teapot!)

Tip 2 : Experiment with all the variables in making coffee, which include coffee
beans, grind, temperature of water,proportion of coffee to water, steep time, speed
of pour into cup, BUT only change one varible at a time to facilitate a direct path to
coffee nirvana!

Tip 3 : Leave the Decent Coffee Cosy on the french press. Take it off only when
cleaning or rinsing out plunger pot.

Tip 4 : After plunging, wait 1 minute before pouring to allow sediment to settle.

Tip 5 : Try pouring coffee into cup very slowly. this allows some of the oils on top
to slip into your cup!

Enjoy!
You deserve it!

How to store coffee:

Always store coffee beans in an airtight container.
Moisture and air are enemies of good coffee.

Be sure the coffee is not exposed to light
, as sunlight may reduce freshness.

Only buy enough coffee to last for a week or so from the time it was roasted.
This is the best way to ensure the freshest coffee.

Never freeze coffee. Freezing damages subtle tastes in coffee.
That's not all -- condensation on the container exposes your coffee to moisture
every time you defrost it!

Check out our Decent Coffee Canister. It keeps your coffee fresh!
