To prepare this coffee, use your preferred brewing method, whether it's a drip coffee maker, French press, or pour-over. Measure the grounds according to your taste preference, typically one to two tablespoons per six ounces of water. Heat fresh, cold water to just off the boil, around 200°F (93°C). Pour the water over the grounds, ensuring they are fully saturated, and allow it to steep for the recommended time for your chosen method. Serve hot, black or with your favorite additions like milk, cream, or sugar.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, store the coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid refrigerating or freezing the coffee, as this can degrade its flavor. Properly stored, the coffee will maintain its freshness for several weeks.
