The flavor of coffee depends on a variety 
of factors, including the quality, freshness, 
and roast of the beans, the fineness and 
consistency of the grind, the ratio of coffee 
to brew water, the cleanliness of the brewing 
equipment, and the brew water purity.

Great coffee can only come from fresh coffee 
beans, properly roasted. Many experts 
recommend buying beans roasted no darker than 
a medium roast, the color of which appears as an 
even chocolate brown. This roast preserves the natural sugars 
and flavor of the bean, and sets the stage for an excellent cup 
of coffee. A medium roast is the darkest a bean can be roasted 
without oils developing on the surface. 

Darkly roasted beans – which appear dark brown or 

nearly black – look great, but the extra roasting 

will overwhelm the more delicate coffee flavors 

and caramelize any sugars. A heavy “roasted” 
coffee flavor, often bitter and sharp, will 

predominate with a dark roast.

To preserve the freshness of coffee beans:
Keep beans in an opaque, air-tight container and 
store them in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not 

recommended, as condensation tends to form on 

the beans whenever the container is opened. Freezing 

can help preserve beans stored for an extended period, but it will 
also impair the flavor.
