Barista Tips & TricksBarista Tips and Tricks

Freshness, freshness, freshness.

Just a reminder from your Coffee House Inspirations Barista.  The best way to make sure you’re drinking fresh coffee is:  buy less coffee, but buy it more often.  I know those gigantic cans are convenient, but once you open them, that freshness leaves fast.  It’s also good to know when it was roasted.  Even the best nitrogen-flushed, one-way valve bags can only keep coffee fresh for about a month.  Once you get your coffee home store it in an airtight container in a dark place.  If you do buy coffee in bulk try putting a small amount of coffee in a separate canister.  Then you can put the bulk container away so it doesn’t get opened up every day. 

TIP:  The enemies of freshness are light, heat, air and moisture

    Your fat free flavors are incredible. I like FF because I want to save some calories but I can’t stand artificial sweetners. I don’t like stevia either. The only natural no calorie sweetner I like is Xylitol. It is very expensive though. It’s good for your teeth, and tastes and looks like sugar.

    Please make more FF flavors. Maybe you can get more shelf space. Int’l Delight is the best on the market.
