Coffee

December 19th, 2001 @ 11:58 pm PST

mmm ... coffee ...The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has stores sprinkled liberally throughout the Los Angeles area. I love ’em. Yeah, I know I’m dropping about $3.50 every day on something I could get at home for 35¢, but … I really loves me some Swiss Mocha Latte in the ante meridian, y’know? I was in line a few days ago and picked up a little bean brochure. “Our Whole Bean Story” is the title. It had a few little bits that I didn’t know, so I thought I’d share.

  • Refrigerating coffee in not recommended as the coffee will absorb nearby food odors.
  • Warm your mug first with hot water. This will keep your coffee hot longer. (I don’t know about this one. I add about a quart of milk to my coffee when I make it at home and any time I buy a cup of coffee it’s about 400° hotter than I can drink.)
  • Coffee beans hate oxygen, light, moisture, and heat. For optimal freshness, keep your coffee in an opaque, airtight container at room temperature.
  • Coffee should be brewed just short of boiling, at a temperature between 195° F and 205° F.

One Response to “Coffee”

    I learned something in Minneapolis. You can request your coffee to be at “kid’s temperature”. Which to me is normal coffee temperature instead of “surface of the sun” temperature.

Switch to FreshBooks

I switched from QuickBooks to FreshBooks in 2015 and am so glad I did. Everything about their billing system is easier.
