How to Make the Best Coffee Ever!

Yes,

I have found a really cool coffee roaster.  Plus buying coffee from them, helps their charitable activities, and also we make a little coin on it too.

Let me say, right up front, I would never represent anything that I did not think was the best, so I don’t do much “representing.”  I am a coffee lover as anyone who knows me can attest, and I have been on a lifelong quest for a great coffee roaster, because I really have found that fresh roasted coffee is way better than any of the coffee you buy in stores or in retail coffee companies.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST COFFEE EVER:

(following these rules of coffee, will help you enjoy the best coffee possible).

1)     Use fresh roasted whole bean coffee, do not buy coffee pre-ground but grind it only as you intend to use it.

2)     Use a Bur style grinder.  Not the less expensive blade grinder, if possible.  The blade grinders heat up the beans prematurely and leave less robust flavor and can make the resulting coffee a tiny bit more bitter.

3)     Buy FRESH roasted coffee beans, roasted to the darkness that fits your taste, from a company that ships its coffee fresh roasted.  The fresher the better.

4)     Order only what you will use in a couple weeks, and then order again instead of ordering enough to last a month or more.  Coffee has a shelf life once roasted.  Most coffee you buy in the store is already far past that shelf life by the time it even arrives at the store.

5)     Use only filtered, or pure cold water for pressing or brewing coffee.

6)     Coffee drip makers are good.  Or old school percolators.  And believe me different coffee makers taste different.  I have tried many, and it is a “taste subjective” thing.

And finally, the final set of tips for the best cup of coffee ever.

Click on the Mystic Monk Coffee link/graphic, they are the best roasters I have found.  Order a nice dark roasted, or medium roasted bean, shipping fresh to you.  Use a bur grinder, and grind the amount you need to make one pot – and grind them to a coarse even grind for using with a coffee press. (grind will vary for other coffee makers).

Instructions for using a french press: I brew with a “coffee press,” because this is just, simply, the best and sweetest way to make coffee, old school great coffee. It is less bitter, more robust and will amaze you. Use filtered water, and heat the water to 195 degrees.  Not hotter, and not colder.  195 degrees! and then using your coffee press, stirring twice during the steeping, Steep for 4.5 minutes, not more and not less, and then press the coffee, and enjoy black, or with cream and sweetener of choice. This method will give you the coffee experience of a life time, and you can enjoy it every time.

The simple pleasures in life that matter most.  A blessing from God himself for those who are God believers, and if you are not a God believer, you may well believe in God after tasting such good coffee, a blessing that only a superior being could provide: a really well roasted and brewed cup of coffee!

P.S.  Mystic Monks have a gift shop on line as well, and also make some of the world’s best tea, for you non-coffee drinkers.  In the gift shop are recording of the monk’s themselves in great chanting form too.  A relaxing experience, listening to beautiful chants by the monks.
