We often get asked about the tasting or flavor notes on our 12 oz bags of coffee. When people see “fruity” and “milk chocolate” on a bag of Hologram or “caramel” and “nut” on a bag of Big Trouble, there’s sometimes a misconception that we’ve added flavoring to our beans. So in this post, we’ll be talking about what tasting notes are and how we pick them!
We have fielded questions about how to make better coffee at home many, many times over our 25+ years in specialty coffee. We could spend hours outlining the variables that go into making delicious coffee.
Just as we mentioned in the brewing methods post, making good coffee can come down to some pretty fine details, including the size of the ground coffee particles, the temperature of your water, and brewing duration. For this post, we’ll be talking about the best ratio for common drip and immersion brew methods.
