Buy Freshly Roasted Coffee in small amounts every 1-2 weeks, directly from a roaster if possible. Your coffee is only hours old vs. weeks or months old, as it often is at discount & chains stores. Store Your Coffee Correctly. Keep in a light-proof & airtight container at room temperature. The refrigerator & freezer are not ideal locations. If you will be storing your coffee for more than a week, place half in an airtight container inside the freezer. When you take it out, leave it out. Grind The Beans Just Before Brewing. Use a mill grinder for a consistent grind. It is preferable to grind at the store rather than use a home blade grinder that grinds inconsistently. The Correct Grind is determined by the amount of time the water will be in contact with the coffee.
Roasting Coffee Roasting is a technical process that brings out the aroma and flavor that is locked inside the green coffee beans. Many chemical changes occur, along with a loss of moisture content resulting in a 13-16% weight loss. A roast cycle lasts from 12-18 minutes, depending on the subjective parameters used. In olden days coffee was roasted in a pan over an open fire. Roasting is an art, it takes years of training to be considered a “master roaster.” The operator must be able to read the beans and make split-second decisions in order to achieve the desired results, which are subjective. It is near impossible to imitate another’s roasting technique. There is a lot of confusion about the “best” roast for a coffee. We subscribe to the idea that the best roast is the one that highlights all the “origin character” of the coffee which reveals qualities CU Bulk Coffee Selection Coffee is grown in a subtropical belt around the equator, within 3 major growing regions: the Americas, Africa & Arabia, and Indonesia. Similar to wine-tasting, coffee descriptions are based on subtle flavor characteristics that develop within the country of origin. These beans are NOT flavored. Blends & Specialty Coffee Firenza Blend - hearty, full city roast for dinner Choosing Beans to Roast Quality begins with the bean, regardless of the roast. Selecting beans begins with sample tasting sessions, which are very similar to wine tastings. During a “cupping,” several different coffees can be compared, or several different roasts of the same coffee. Learn a lot more at coffeeunderground.biz where you can place an order.

Visit the Coffee Underground website at www.coffeeunderground.biz Coffee Underground is located in the center of downtown Greenville on the corner of Main Street and Coffee Street. But remember, they're on the underground level. If you'd like to write us: Coffee Underground We're Expanding The doors opened May 1, 1995 to a lively crowd in what formerly was 3,600 square feet of undeveloped space. The largest room was designed as the main cafe filled with cozy seating, the front bar/service area and a tiny kitchen. An adjacent room was used as a gallery and for additional seating. The third was transformed into a theater where Jeff Sumerel directed live improv shows & screened independent films. The rest of Dowtown was beginning to transform, too. Coffee Underground is now considered a landmark of Downtown and 2008 will bring expansion which is underway for the first time since 1995. Gallery & Theater Our 700 sq.ft. gallery space is available for meetings and special events on an hourly basis. We can cater special menus for your group and we can arrange tables and chairs to suit your needs. Gifts and Gift Baskets Coffee Underground has a selection of coffees and coffee products on hand everyday. We would be delighted to prepare a gift basket of selected items upon request. The menu rocks! There's homemade desserts, ice cream, breakfast items from muffins to bagels, organic yogurt, fruit cups, quiche slices, omelet bowls, or build a breakfast sandwich. Download a PDF menu, it'll wow you. ---GreenvilleSouth Enjoy better coffee!
