Got questions about your morning brew? We’ve spilled the beans on everything from our ethical sourcing to the perfect grind size for your French press. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a total coffee geek, dive into our guide to find the answers you need to master your daily ritual.
What’s the difference between espresso and regular coffee
Espresso is brewed by forcing hot water through finely ground coffee at high pressure, creating a concentrated, rich shot. Regular coffee uses a slower drip or filter method with coarser grounds for a lighter, larger cup.
What grind size should I use?
It depends on your brewing method:
- Coarse: French press, cold brew
- Medium: Drip machines, pour‑over
- Fine: Espresso machines
- Extra fine: Turkish coffe
What’s the best water‑to‑coffee ratio ?
A common guideline is 1–2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 oz of water. Adjust based on taste and brew method.
How should I store my coffee to keep it fresh
Keep coffee in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture. Whole beans stay fresh longer than ground coffee
How long does coffee stay fresh after opening ?
Whole beans typically stay fresh for 2–4 weeks. Ground coffee loses freshness faster—usually within 1–2 weeks.
