STORAGE
Coffee’s worst enemies are air, moisture and light. Store your BCRC coffee beans in our specially designed bag with a one-way valve seal that keeps air out. An opaque, airtight container also works well.
GRIND
Use the appropriate grind for your brewing method. Grind only the amount you will use at a time.
BREWING
Start with fresh cold water and heat to approximately 205 degrees fahrenheit (just off the boil). Start with the recommended coffee weight then adjust to suit taste.
