To prepare, use your preferred brewing method, such as a drip coffee maker, French press, or pour-over. Measure the desired amount of ground coffee into your brewing device. Heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling point. Pour the hot water over the grounds, allowing them to bloom for about 30 seconds before continuing the pour. Brew for the recommended time for your method. Serve immediately. You can add milk, cream, or sweeteners to taste. For iced coffee, brew it double strength and pour over ice.
How it differs from similar foods
French roast differs from lighter roasts due to its extended roasting time and higher temperature. This process caramelizes the natural sugars in the beans more intensely, resulting in a darker color and a more robust, smoky flavor. Lighter roasts retain more of the bean's original characteristics and acidity.
Who it is for
This coffee is for individuals who appreciate a dark, intense coffee flavor.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the coffee in its original airtight packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly after each use. Avoid storing coffee in the refrigerator or freezer, as this can introduce moisture and unwanted odors, altering the flavor profile.
