Page 18 fall 2014 By Amanda Goossen By Amanda Goossen Coffee The Best Cup of Kitchen In the The do’s and don’ts with Arcadia barista Suzy Lippmann and co-owner of Silent Flight Coffee • Don’t use water that is too hot. Water that is too hot bombards the beans with heat and doesn't allow the flavor to develop properly. Boiling water can actually burn the coffee. Water temperature should be between 195 F and 205 F. The closer to 205 the better. • Do: Use filtered water. Never fi ll up a kettle or coffee pot from the kitchen sink. When preparing your coffee you should think about all the ingredients, even the quality and flavor of the water. • Don’t keep coffee in the freezer. Keep coffee out of sunlight, preferably in a sealed jar in a cabinet. Keep coffee away from moisture and avoid dramatic temperature changes, which plays with the flavor. • Do: Pay attention to the roasting date. Freshly roasted coffee is best five or six days out of the roast, giving it time to degas and build flavor. • Don’t grind coffee until you’re going to make a cup. There is nothing you can do to keep coffee from starting to lose flavor once it’s been ground. Think of it like a seed. The shell keeps the flavor and aroma inside. Once you break it, you immediately begin losing the richness.

A balance of flavors and acidity, as well as aroma. It’s easier to distinguish between the origins of the beans in a medium roast.
