For the best tasting coffee, grind the beans just before brewing. Coarse grinds create a weaker coffee. A fine grind will make a stronger, more bitter coffee. Use about 1-2 level tablespoons of ground coffee for every 8 ounces of water. Use more or less depending on your taste.

Begin with fresh, cold, filtered water. Pure bottled water or filtered water is much preferred over regular tap water. Most tap water contains too many minerals which can effect the taste of the coffee. The best tasting coffees are produced with water that contains 50-100 parts per million of dissolved minerals.

Coffee is at its peak flavor directly after brewing. Do not leave the coffee on the burner to long or it may become bitter. If you plan to keep the coffee longer than a few minutes it should be stored in a thermal server.

4. What makes Quilters Coffee so fresh?

Our gourmet coffees are fresh roasted and shipped the same day. Coffee you buy from your grocer or specialty store has probably been sitting for several weeks after roasting, either on their shelves or in a warehouse, robbing it of freshness each day.
