The importance of using fresh coffee

One of the things that make me get up every morning is fresh coffee. For many years I drank instant coffee and well if you have drunk it you will know how different fresh coffee will make you feel.

While there is an initial outlay of cash that you will need to get the basics — you really don't have to spend a lot, just enough to get a manual grinder and something to brew your coffee in.

You can get something like the Aeropress machine or the Chemex brewer to get started with. If you are dead set on making espressos then you will need to buy a small machine to do this.

What am I building up to here? It is all in the coffee bean. the coffee you use and the way you use it will make or break your coffee.

Fresh ground coffee- I am talking like just ground has oils in it that make the coffee taste good, these will evaporate off if you don't use this as soon as possible.

If you are using ground coffee then you should be looking to keep this in the freezer

Making the perfect coffee is not complicated at all, you just need a little ritual to follow every morning to make sure your process remains the same.
