How do I make the coffee?
Water represents 98% of every cup, therefore we recommend you use cold bottled or filtered water. Do not use distilled or softened water as it impairs the flavor. Use 2 tablespoons of ground for each 6-ounce cup of coffee. (Using too few grounds can actually make it taste bitter! Never boil coffee as this adds bitterness! Do not reuse coffee grounds once they have been brewed.) To serve: Drink the coffee within 20 minutes of brewing for the best flavor and aroma. Letting it sit over 20 minutes impairs the flavor.
How should I store the coffee?
Keep your coffee in the airtight bag it comes in. Keep it in a cool, dark place, preferably your freezer. Whole bean retains its flavor longer than ground, since less surface area is exposed to air.
Will the coffee I receive be flavored?
Yes, from time to time there will be flavored coffee in your shipment (one of the two bags).
Where will the coffee come from?
We feature coffee from around the world from countries such as Kenya, Nicaragua, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia.
Can I get one ground and one whole-bean package per month?
No. It would need to be all one type in the same shipment.
Can I choose the coffee I receive each month?
No. All of the coffee is pre-selected for you. Each coffee is carefully judged and approved by our tasting panel. You can reorder a list of past selections at discounted prices from our shoppers guide.
Can I get decaffeinated coffee monthly?
No. Our monthly selections feature only caffeinated coffee.
How is the coffee shipped?

How is the coffee packaged?
