Fancy facts about coffee
- When choosing coffee, it is necessary to give preference to raw beans - they are stored longer and retain their taste and aroma in the best way.- The shelf life of raw beans reaches from a year to one and a half years, however, storing raw coffee is quite laborious: it must be stored in a vacuum package, in a refrigerator.

- raw grains - 5 minutes, slowly adding strength to the fire. A sign that the beans are ready for grinding and boiling is the smoke emanating from the beans and the aroma of coffee rich to astringency.
- Any roasted coffee must be ground before brewing. As a rule, a special electrical or mechanical device is used for this - a coffee grinder. Coffee is placed in the bean tank, and then the "start" is pressed or the handle of the grinder is turned by hand. In any case, from time to time you need to check the degree of grinding of the coffee and make a start on your own taste. Usually coffee is made with a little less granulated sugar. If you don't have a grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle to cook a small amount; hammer (grind through a cloth or through several layers of polyethylene); a meat grinder and then a hammer; blender.
