Coffee Online Magazine
Welcome to Coffee Online! Here I would love to offer you a trip to Guatemala, where you can pick your own beans by hand from the rich volcanic ash, but I just don’t have that kind of budget. Instead, I will to offer a few tips on how to create the best pot of coffee to kick off my welcome to our site.
Grind your own: If you love coffee and want only the best, then I would recommend that you only purchase whole coffee beans. Then when you are ready to make a pot or even a cup of coffee, you only need to grind what you need. This will keep the flavor and aroma in your coffee beans.

I found this video on youtube today about coffee health benefits and statistics. I think it is really interesting because it talks about the effects that coffee has on the body. Now, one thing I thought was interesting was the statistics on who drinks the most coffee! The video states Finland is in first place [...]

Recently while at Bed Bath & Beyond, my husband purchased a box of Van Houtte Apple Caramel Pie Coffee for me to try. He is very sweet like that and loves to surprise me with little gifts and thoughtful things. I am quite the lucky girl. So, I received the box of apple pie flavored [...]

It is Monday, and because of that I need to add a little humor to my life. I don’t feel like working, I’d much rather be at home… drinking coffee in a snuggy, so I decided to cruise Youtube. To think of it, I do a lot of Youtube cruising on Mondays, it seems. So, [...]

This video just cracked me up when I found it online. Now, I have to say I honestly have never had Dunkin Donuts coffee. That is probably because, there is not one anywhere in the vicinity of where I live. Well, at least that I know of. I believe you can purchase it in grocery [...]

I love the indie show, Portlandia! It takes all the funny hipster culture nuances to a new extreme. Poking fun at things like: eating local, being well-read, and always making sure to go green. Taking these “green” ways of life to an exaggerated psychotic level. Things that can get quite annoying if they pressed upon [...]

I have blogged on Kopi Luwak coffee in the past. It is basically coffee that has been digested by the Asian Palm Civet animal, and then excreted. After it has been passed from the animal, the coffee is harvested from the Civet’s feces. Yes, this is coffee that is harvested from poop. You may be [...]

One morning as I was sipping my morning latte I was thinking of a fun”themed party” idea. I’ve thrown many wine tasting parties in the past and also tea parties, but why not a coffee tasting party? Often times my friends and I will meet at the local coffee house to chat and relax, so [...]
Storage is important: Whatever you decide to do, whether you keep coffee beans or simply buy ground coffee, how you store it will greatly affect the end result. Use air tight containers and never store your coffee where there are sharp aromas from other foods. The coffee will pick up the taste of the aroma, making it bitter, and you do not want a breakfast onion blend. Also, keep your coffee in a cool place. Many people use the fridge but it doesn’t have to be refrigerated.
The machine: You will want to have a high quality machine to brew your coffee. See our article on what to look for in a coffee maker to learn more.
The water: I have seen people really play around with the water that they use for their coffee. Some people only use the finest spring water available, others use a generic bottled water and others are just fine with tap water. All of them work and the only important element to creating a good cup of coffee is in the temperature you use. You might think that you need to use hot water to make your coffee but, the fact is, you should use cold water. For every degree colder, the water will have more oxygen. The more oxygen, the better the coffee.
And there are some tips to help you brew the best cup of coffee. For more tips and advice, please feel free to browse our site.
