The Basics of Good Preparation

The preparation of brewed coffee is equally as important as growing, harvesting, processing, and roasting. 

Unlike preparing a glass of wine (ie: open a bottle and pour), coffee needs to be ground, measured, and brewed by the final consumer.  All these steps require a protocol that , when followed with precision, guarantee you as close to a "perfect" cup as possible.  Generally, when a reputable roaster identifies a coffee via flavor descriptions (ie: blueberry, chocolate, jasmine, etc.) the only way we can taste these characteristics is through the proper preparation protocol.  The only way to truly discover the difference between Ethiopia Yirgacheffe and Ethiopia Harar is through proper preparation. 

When we commit to this protocol we begin a new relationship with coffee that expands our sensorial horizon to destinations previously unattainable.  Below we've provided guidance to help you prepare and enjoy coffee at home.
