CityKid Java: Make it tasty!
 
KEEP IT FRESH   Buy just 2 weeks of CityKid Java at a time. We roast locally to keep it super-fresh.
 
STORE IT WELL   Airtight, dark, and room temp is the key: Avoid the oven, the freezer, the fridge. You don't want your coffee tasting like last night's meatloaf.
 
GRIND YOUR BEANS   A burr grinder is best--or leave it to us. The CKJ grind is ideal for standard drip-brew coffee makers. Your grocery's grinder can help get it just right for espresso (finer grind) or French press (coarser).
 
MEASURE IT OUT   2 heaping tablespoons = 1 great 8-ounce cup.
 
WATER IT WELL   Coffee is 95% water, so make sure yours is tasty and cold. Try it filtered from the tap.
 
DRINK UP   Sip sooner rather than later. If you need to let your java sit, keep it in an insulated thermos. Coffee burners will, literally, burn your coffee. And reheated brew is just not a good idea!
