Want a Perfect Cup?
Water is 98% of a coffee brew; therefore choose it well.
Chemicals added for water treatment like chlorine should be
extracted whenever possible. |

Storing Your Coffee
Keep your beans away from moisture, heat and oxygen. Storing
your coffee in a cool, dry place keeps it fresh. We at
Silverback Coffee of Rwanda™ refrigerate ours. Once opened,
refrigerate your coffee, but avoid freezing, since ice
crystals may form and this will dilute your coffee over time. |

The Right Grind
No matter how much coffee you’re making, the goal should be a
fresh grind to be brewed within four minutes. Coffee tastes
best when ground just before brewing. Avoid mixing overly fine
or overly coarse grinds. If this happens, check your blade for
build up. |
