Our Coffee : Medium Roast |
| At Coffee
Industries Limited, the majority of coffees we produce are medium roasted unless otherwise specified ie. ( our 8 ounce Jamaica Mountain Choice Espresso Roasted Coffee in Calico'.) We also can custom roast to your specifications or to any of the above mentioned basic roast types. |
| |
| All Coffee orders are processed and THEN the coffee beans roasted to guarantee utmost freshness. 'ROASTED TO ORDER :)' . All our packaging have a proven shelf life of 6 to 8 months due to the vacuum sealing technology we were one of the first to incorporate since the late 1980's. Constant upgrades and investments in even more effecient productive machinery over time ensure your coffee when opened will transport you directly to the mountain top. |

COFFEE STORAGE TIPS: |
| ALWAYS... |
|
- Store coffee in a clean dry,
odourless environment.
- Store coffee in a cool environment
- Rotate stock of coffee regularly
and pack new supplies separately from old supplies,
keep a close watch on the date of roasting.
- Use the recommended serving of coffee
to water depending on the size of the brewing machine.
This has been designed to give the best possible taste.
- Clean all utensils (percolator, urn
etc.) thoroughly after each use, using a thin long brush
and boiling water. Add small quantities of boiling water
to urn and rinse until it runs clean.
- For urns/percolators, remove clean-out
cap at end of coffee faucet and scrub pipe leading to
the centre of the urn.
- Replace or wash coffee filters after
each use
- Serve coffee as quickly as possible
after brewing. Always brew just enough coffee to use
within three hours after brewing.
- Use clean, cold water to begin
brewing the coffee. If coffee is too strong add boiling
water.
|
| |
| |
| NEVER... |
|
- Store coffee beside foreign odours
eg. curry powder, pimento, spices.
- Store coffee beside a boiler, motor
or in direct sunlight
- Pack all supplies of coffee together
or use recent stock before older stock
- Use more than the recommended serving;
the coffee will be too strong and bitter. Using less
will make the coffee too weak and watery
- Use any type of detergent or scouring
powder as this can affect the taste of the coffee
- Allow clean-out cap to clog or become
dirty
- Allow coffee filter to become dirty
- Allow coffee to sit on a warmer for
long periods and 'burn'. Coffee should never be reheated
as this produces the worst possible taste
- Use water with any impurities to
brew coffee. This will affect the taste
