Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep my coffee fresh?

To enjoy the outstanding quality of our coffee at home we make the following
suggestions for maximum freshness:

Purchase whole beans and grind them just before brewing
Buy only enough beans to last for about a week
Keep your coffee in an airtight container or in the Orinoco foil bag and store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
Don’t refrigerate or freeze. Contrary to popular belief, freezing or refrigerating does not extend shelf life. These means of storage actually expose the coffee to odor contamination and condensation.

What is the best way to brew coffee?

To brew the best possible cup of coffee we recommend the following:

Use about two tablespoons of freshly ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount of coffee to suit your taste.
Always start with fresh cold water. Filtered or bottled water produces the best results.
Brew directly into a thermal carafe or transfer into a thermal carafe once the brew cycle is complete. The quality of brewed coffee resting on a burner deteriorates very quickly.
Now for the best part: pour the coffee into your favorite cup or mug, take a seat in a comfortable chair with your morning paper and enjoy this wonderful brew.

How long will it take to receive my order?
