Coffee Tips Every Coffee Lover Should Know ☕

At LaShaw Ranch Roasters, we believe coffee is more than just a drink—it’s an experience. That’s why we’re excited to share some simple coffee knowledge to help you get the most out of every cup!

1. High-Quality Beans = Better Taste

Did you know that high-quality coffee beans naturally lack that harsh, bitter taste? When you invest in premium beans, you’re rewarded with a smoother, more enjoyable flavor in every sip.

2. Taste Changes? Time to Clean Your Coffee Maker

If your coffee suddenly tastes different—even though you’re using the same beans—the culprit might be your coffee maker. Over time, oils and residue build up, affecting the flavor. Regular deep cleaning can bring back that perfect taste.

3. Light Roast = More Caffeine

Contrary to popular belief, light roast coffee actually has more caffeine than dark roast! This is because the beans are roasted for a shorter time, retaining more of their natural caffeine content.

4. Grind Size Matters

The grind size of your coffee can make or break your brew. For example, a coarse grind is best for French Press coffee, while a finer grind works wonders for Espresso. Adjusting the grind size to your brewing method ensures you get the perfect flavor every time.

We hope these tips help you enjoy your coffee even more! If you have any questions or need advice on brewing, feel free to reach out—we’re always here to help.
