 General Rules for Storing and for Making Coffee:-

        i.            Coffee loses aroma and flavour with storage, as the volatile components evaporate. It should be roasted and ground immediately before brewing for the best possible drink.

      ii.            Roasted coffee bean can be stored for some time, and can be re-roasted briefly immediately before use. Ground coffee should be used within two or three days of grinding.

    iii.            Vacuum-packing extends storage life much. Roasted coffee, whether ground or not, can be kept in an airtight container in a freezer to lengthen shelf life.

    iv.            Fresh coffee is the best; so buy quantities to last not more than a week.

      v.            Use the exact quantity of powder required.

    vi.            Use freshly drawn and freshly boiled water.

  vii.            The coffee-maker must be rinsed with hot water before each use and thoroughly washed and dried before being put away. Never brew less than three-fourths of the coffee maker's capacity; use a smaller one instead.
