Question 1

Is this coffee good for French pressing?

Accepted Answer

Hi Paul, thanks for reaching out.  Many people enjoy this coffee in a French Press.  The key is not to pour water on the grounds while it is still boiling.  Bring the water to a boil, but then let it sit for a while until it reaches around 185 - 190 degrees, then pour it in.  Otherwise you will scald the coffee and rob it of its flavor.  It's important to get the grind right also, and for best results, you want a grind fine enough to get some flavor from the coffee, but coarse enough so the coffee does not pass through the screen.  I personally prefer the hand drip method (pour over), as it gets more flavor out of the coffee without imparting the flavor of spent grounds (at least that's how I perceive it).  Hope this helps.  Thanks for your interest.Darron "Don Pablo" Burke

Question 2

Not sure how to store the beans.   I have heard; freeze, refrigerate, don't refrigerate.  What do the experts suggest?

Accepted Answer

We recommend an airtight canister in a cabinet or on the counter, never in the fridge or the freezer.  If you Google it, you will find chemists and molecular biologists arguing about which is the best method, but we've just tested it ourselves over several years and have determined that the coffee tastes better longer if you don't refrigerate or freeze it.  Because we roast to order and customers often receive the coffee while it is still developing (oil rising to the surface of the bean, the freezer will stop that process and dry the coffee out, and the refrigerator has a lot of moisture, and that is not good for coffee.  Occasionally we will get a complaint about coffee quality, and after we determine it is not a problem with grind/preparation, we ask how the coffee has been stored, and often it has been in the refrigerator.  We're not snobs, and if the coffee tastes great to you, that's all we care about.  Our bags for personal use are sitting out on the counter or in a cabinet, rolled down at the top and secured with the tin tie, and that works just fine for us.  Hope this helps!Darron "Don Pablo" Burke
