Here is a tip for getting around our stores!  If you have not tried the pull down menu in the categories bow yet, this screen shot will explain it better. You can see on the left side of the screenshot, that the entire categories menu can be pulled down to select and go to any category you want!

When I picked up coffee last Thursday, I took over an hour of video with Jamin, he is the quality Control guy at Cafe Imports.  I hope to have a couple posted to our Youtube channel by mid week.  I need to get them edited down to a a few minutes each.

Coffee Grinding and Coffee Brewing Basics

We are starting a new Coffee Grinding and Coffee  Brewing Basics Info Post.  Watch this post for short videos of grinding and brewing basic tips to brewing the perfect cup of coffee!
 
Always grind just before brewing for the freshest coffee possible.  Start with a standard scoop of beans for each 8 oz cup of coffee and adjust from there.  Grind coffee to as even a grind as possible as well as keep it consistant from pot to pot.  To do this with a blade type grinder is almost impossible. 
 
We recomend a Burr grinder like the Maestro by Baratza for fine, through coarse grind used in Drip Brewing and French Press.

We have a Maestro on our own kitchen counter for all of our drip,vacuum and Frech Press brewed coffee we drink and serve!
