Nectar from the gods


I have been asked numerous times- how do you make the best cup of coffee? Easy. Here are 4 simple steps that have been adapted from my years as a barista.
  1. Water: Only used filtered or bottled water. Bad water=bad coffee.
  2. Grind: Have Starbucks grind the coffee to match what kind of coffee filter you have.
  3. Fresh: Keep your coffee beans OUT OF THE FREEZER/FRIDGE. Put it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
  4. Portion: Use 1 {level} TBSP per 1 cup. (Starbucks recommends 2 TBSP per 6 oz. but it just doesn’t work like that at home)
People will rave about your glorious java skills and will come back for more!

And you will thank me for it.
