Grind the Beans Fresh is for the freshest coffee possible, grind whole beans immediately before brewing. Acquire a Mesh Grinder for the best coffee mills grind coffee in one chamber until the grinds are small enough to flow through a variable-sized mesh into another container. This ensures uniform size. Try a Ceramic Kettle is to test your kettle, boil water, let it to cool, and then drink a glass. If it tastes tinny, chances are it contributes unpleasant flavors to your coffee. A ceramic kettle is best, but make sure to get one that whistles or you will eventually hear an expensive crack sound. Avoid products made in China. Filter the Water which coffee is only as pure as the water is brewed with. Distilled or reverse osmosis water is ideal. Sink water is not an option though many restaurants use just that. Use a French Press for course-ground coffee is directly mixed with very hot (versus boiling) water in a glass beaker where it steeps for about 4 minutes. A plunger with a fine screen mesh, built into the lid, is used to move the grinds to the bottom. The canister then serves as a coffee pitcher. The main drawback with a French press is trying to keep the coffee warm. Certain insulated French press is now available. The glass will break if one is not very careful and it costs about $35 to replace. The fine coffee dust that settles in the cup should be avoided as it is mildly carcinogenic due to the roasting process. As with all brewing methods, after 20 minutes the coffee grinds become acidic and should be discarded. Coffee grinds make great fertilizer for the garden as they provide Nitrogen. Choose Evaporated Cane Juice which is the best sweetener is raw sugar. While some feel that Stevia does not lend itself to Coffee, Agave Nectar is a great sugar substitute.

Find the Right Cup as with wine glasses, the right size coffee cup is essential and impacts flavor. The cup radius determines what parts of the tongue the liquid hits first. In the super-sized world of today, the original coffee cup is a dying breed, but it was the ideal size, shape and material for coffee. Alternate with Tea to get the most enjoyment from your coffee it helps to take a break now and then (less is more). A great alternative to coffee is to periodically switch to Yerba Mate tea. Yerba Mate contains less caffeine and tastes great with Stevia. Since decaffeinated coffee is often produced using solvents and/or still contains trace amounts of caffeine, it is not recommended.

As for how it came to be commonly roasted, according to one account some beans were accidentally burned but found to be better tasting that way.
