How to Keep That Freshly Ground Taste of Coffee from the First to the Last Brew
Keeping that fresh taste of your packaged coffee that smells like you’ve just opened and ground it yourself for that last brew of the bag taste. How to keep that fresh cup of coffee taste that you depend on to start your day.
In the restaurant and catering business, you want to offer your customers the best experience possible and still maintain a healthy business for your bottom line and your customers. In the catering business, we bought in bulk in order to keep our cost down, but also provide a great product. In the baking business, our morning business was the peak of the day. Back in the 70’s, we were the Starbucks of that day.
We sold more cups of coffee than any single item because of the Great QATSPY gourmet blend of coffee that we sold. One of my jobs was grounding and blending the gourmet coffee that we sold in bulk in 25-pound batches. This usually lasts us for two weeks. To maintain that fresh taste from the first pot to the last pot brewed, we added a key ingredient, which was salt. Salt will keep your bagged coffee fresher over the shelf life in your home kitchen.
If you’re like me, the very first thing I do in the morning is to get the coffee brewing. Coffee is the natural energy booster and is great for your overall health.
You Heard the Phrase, The Salt of the Earth; Well, this is Salt of Freshness
I still blend the same The Great QATSPY gourmet coffee that I blend in our bakery in bulk. All you need is a mixer and your favorite blend of coffee. Pour your coffee or blend of coffee into a mixing bowl and on low speed, add 2 teaspoons of salt per 12 oz. bag of coffee.
This will keep your coffee fresher for weeks, as your enjoy the first to the last brewed pot of coffee for the start of each day. There’s nothing like a fresh tasting cup of coffee to start each day!
Just as an interest story in our Bakery, we sold homemade-style bread, rolls, and especially cinnamon rolls that I have pictured below in our bakery. I still have the commercial Hobart mixer and ovens in my kitchen where I still bake. The bread is still based on the recipe that my grandfather’s family has used for over 200 years. One thing I found at restaurants that bake their own bread, or rolls, is that they don’t put enough salt in their recipe. Salt doesn’t only give taste, but more importantly texture to the bread.
Hint: on icing cinnamon rolls, slightly heat up the icing and use a slotted spoon to ice the cinnamon rolls. This will give you the perfect presentation that you are looking for to impress your guests.
