Brew coffee between 195 degrees and 205 degrees. After brewing, store coffee in an air pot or thermal carafe. Coffee bought directly from a coffee roaster ensures that you get the maximum amount of taste from your coffee. After roasting, coffee begins to decline in quality and must be used within a month of roasting. Differences in coffee taste depend on the freshness of the coffee and the coffee maker ability to consistently maintain the same brewing temperature.
Canned coffees use robusta coffee beans, which often contain a bitter after taste.
Two types of decaffeination exist. One uses chemicals, while the Swiss Water Process utilizes water and steam. Talk N' Coffee only sells Swiss Water processed decaf, the most natural process available. When you buy coffee from someone who roasts their own beans, your coffee lasts longer. In most cases, you will use less coffee per pot, and get a better tasting cup of coffee.
