To brew, measure the desired amount of ground coffee into your coffee maker's filter basket. Use about one to two tablespoons of coffee for every six ounces of cold water, adjusting to your personal taste preference. Pour fresh, cold water into the coffee maker's reservoir. Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to complete the brewing cycle. Serve hot immediately. For iced coffee, brew a stronger batch and pour over ice. Leftover coffee can be chilled and reheated, though flavor may change.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to lighter roasts, Classic Roast has a more pronounced, bolder flavor and a darker color. It is less acidic than some specialty coffees. Its consistent roast level ensures a predictable taste experience, differing from single-origin beans which can vary more significantly in flavor notes.

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining coffee in its original canister with the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Avoid storing in the refrigerator or freezer, as this can introduce moisture and affect the coffee's aroma and flavor. Proper storage helps preserve the coffee's freshness for longer.
