Made with 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified arabica beans, Its rich taste can be served plain, poured over ice, or customized with a splash of flavoring syrup and creamer to create signature specialty beverages! Ideal for restaurants, cafes, and bakeries, this coffee is packaged as unground, whole beans, which allows each and every batch to be individually ground immediately prior to brewing for maximum flavor, aroma, and freshness! This also allows you to control the grind level so that you can tailor the coffee to your preferred brewing method, whether it be drip, cold brew, french press, or pour over. The bag features a one-way degassing valve, which allows for carbon dioxide gasses to be released from bag and prevents oxygen from entering the bag, thus reducing oxidation. This helps maintain freshness and lock in the coffee's flavor and aroma to extend its life. To brew 64 oz. or 1/2 gallon of prepared coffee in a standard filter brewer, weigh out 3.5 oz., or 0.22 lb., of whole beans. Grind the beans into a filter and place the filter of ground coffee into the brew basket. Select the appropriate batch size on your brewer and start the brew cycle. Wait until all of the coffee has dripped from the brew basket before serving. For optimal freshness, this coffee has a maximum 60 minute hold limit. At 60 minutes, or when you run out of coffee, rinse the brew basket and server three times before brewing the next batch.
