Learn how to make delicious coffee everyday with these simple tips. The most important step in making a delicious coffee is to start with fresh coffee beans, from Bay Beans coffee, of course. 

Sit back, relax and watch a short walk though on how to make an espresso from a domestic coffee machine. Espresso is the base for flat whites, cappuccinos, short blacks and long blacks.

Whole coffee beans retain their freshness after roasting for much longer than ground coffee beans, so ideally it's best to have a grinder at home. If you dont have a grinder at home, ensure your ground coffee is stored in an airtight container in the dark. Please dont store your coffee in the fridge or freezer - your coffee will be adversely affected by condensation and the mix of flavours from your fridge. Since you are starting with much fresher beans, you will benefit dramatically over supermarket coffee, or worse supermarket ground coffee.

Bay Beans coffee is roasted fresh for you the day you place your order - we do not keep any coffee beans on a shelf. In contrast, supermarket coffee can be 12 months old before you even buy it, so you're way ahead with Bay Beans fresh roasted coffee beans already. I suggest beans are at their peak for one month, but I know of people that regularly keep coffee beans for three to six months. Its completely up to your taste.

Bay Beans coffee is packed in zip-lock, one-way valve, foil lined bags for ultimate freshness.  

A 'Tamp' will drastically improve the quality of your coffee when extracted with a coffee machine, by compressing the coffee bean grounds to ensure your machine pushes the hot water, under pressure, through the coffee at an even rate, without taking any lazy paths through a channel in your coffee grounds. If you dont have a Tamp, please contact us for advice. 

Crema is golden in colour and sits on top of your coffee. Your aim is to produce an esspresso base with crema, indicating fresh beans and a tasty coffee. 

For each cup of hot water, use one tablespoon of pre-ground coffee beans. So, if you are making a four-cup pot of coffee, add four tablespoons of coffee to the pot and then add your water.

Typically, five tablespoons of ground coffee beans, but refer to your percolator's instructions.
