DAILY GRIND Whole beans stay fresh longer than ground coffee. If possible, grind just the amount you need each time and store the rest as whole beans.
STORAGE SOLUTIONS Store beans in a dark ceramic container away from light, air and heat. Keep coffee out of the freezer. It can absorb moisture, affecting its flavor.
WATER MATTERS Use cold filtered water for the cleanest starting point and keep brewing temps between 195°F and 205°F to stave off sour or bitter notes.
CAREFUL CLEANING Coffee oils can stay in the machine or pot, causing a burnt flavor. Rinse machine regularly and deep-clean according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Lower milk pitcher to just above rim and pour faster while quickly moving pitcher left and right and slowly bringing the cup level.
Pour a line of milk from one side of the cup to the other once cup is almost full to complete the design.
