Don't skimp on quality. Cheap beans can ruin your coffee. Invest in fresh, high-quality beans for a better brew.

Freshness counts. Beans are best within two weeks of roasting. Check the roast date before you buy.

Balance is key. Too much water dilutes flavor. Aim for a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio for perfect strength.

Keep it clean. Old residues can taint your coffee. Clean your equipment regularly for a fresh taste.

Size matters. Match your grind to your brewing method. A wrong grind can result in bitter or weak coffee.

Heat it right. Water too hot or too cold affects extraction. Aim for 195-205°F for optimal flavor.

Store smart. Keep beans in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid sunlight, moisture, and air.

Rinse first. Un-rinsed paper filters can add a papery taste. Rinse with hot water before brewing.

Drink up. Coffee's flavor changes over time. Enjoy it fresh and don't let it sit for more than 20 minutes.

Grind it fresh. Pre-ground coffee loses flavor over time. For the freshest taste, grind beans just before brewing.
