How storing your coffee beans can drastically improve your coffee's taste.

The best cups of coffee contain the best selection of beans, roasted with the best type of equipment, and stored in the best conditions. At MF Coffee, that’s what we strive for, the best and the best only. We’ve already established that the beans from the Jamaican Blue Mountains are the finest but there’s a way to take full advantage of its powerful taste even more. With the correct storage techniques, we at MF Coffee can aid you in maximising that much-needed freshness and flavour for the best cup of coffee. By following these little tips, you’ll be brewing much better cups in no time.

The first thing we must do is keep the beans airtight and cool. It is imperative that we attempt to preserve the beans fresh roasted flavour for as long as possible as the coffee beans’ greatest foes are light, moisture, heat, and air. Luckily, at MF Coffee, our coffee is sealed in bronze airtight bags that aren’t see through in order to minimise the exposure of any of the previous elements that were just mentioned. Many retailers use packaging that is generally not ideal for long-term storage hence why their coffee remains bland and MF Coffee’s remains rich and tantalising. So yes, we’ve kept the beans airtight but how can we keep them cool? Well, to keep your beans fresh they must be situated in a dark and cool area. Too often I see people dumping their coffee in cupboards directly next to ovens which completely goes against the agenda in trying to maintain coolness. We advise in resting your beans at an elevated cupboard, in the corner furthest away from the windows to avoid sunlight, and that pesky oven.

The next thing we should do, is NOT freeze our beans, that's right NOT freeze. I’ve read hundreds of articles suggesting that to “maintain freshness” you must freeze your beans. Guys, this is absurd and mustn’t be taken on at all. Here’s why. Coffee is sort of like bread, if you leave bread half opened in the freezer and then let it thaw out and eat it, it won’t possess the same taste as it did before. It’s the same with coffee. And sometimes coffee can even be worse as it often absorbs the flavours surrounding it. So, if you have garlic and onions in your freezer… I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your coffee isn’t going to be tasting very nice. And don’t get me started with the fridge. The fridge is TERRIBLE for coffee mainly because it causes the beans to condensate and push oils to the surface. Oils needed for your coffee to be tasting pleasant! Is that what you want? The fridge to ROB you of those essential oils needed to enjoy a nice cup of MF coffee? NO! So please, please, please don’t put your coffee in the freezer and definitely not the fridge.

The last tip is subjective and mainly depends on your coffee consumption rate, but it’s pretty simple and it's to buy the right amount. Even though we, at MF Coffee, have worked hard to create a coffee bag that will maintain freshness longer than anyone else, you guys can simply make your lives easier by buying coffee in smaller doses. Extended exposure to oxygen will diminish the coffees flavour meaning the longer you leave our wonderful MF Coffee beans sitting in the bag, being wasted, the less you will be able to experience that enticing and seductive taste that will simply leave you yearning for more. To experience the best taste, you essentially “Don’t buy more, just buy often” and you can do that at our website mfproducts.co.uk where we have a coffee beans as well as grounded.

That’s it for todays blog guys, hope you enjoyed it.

What can coffee do for your skin?

Good morning everyone, welcome back to another edition of The MF Products Blog. Today we’re going to be looking at coffee and what it can do for you cosmetically. Specifically, the largest organ on your body. No, its not the liver. It’s in fact, the skin. Yes! The skin that’s all over your body is indeed an organ and since it’s everywhere we should take the most care with it. At least that’s what we think at MF Products .   Anyways, many people go through life having sensitive skin and they endure this treacherous and tedious search in trying to find that ‘special’ cream that will magically dispose of any breakouts or redness when really there’s a game changer right in front of them (not literally, but you get where I’m going with this). The truth is… MF Coffee has been the saviour this whole time. In fact, a study was published that showed that Japanese women between the ages of 30 to 60 who drank coffee had significantly less markers of aging. So that meant less wrinkles ...

How to make the MF Seamoss face mask.

  Facecare is arguably the most underlooked aspect of self-care on the human body, ironically, it’s the most sensitive part too. As a result, a great deal of these products on the high street shelves claim to be good for the skin but in reality, are not. The chemicals and toxins inputted in these products are artificial and therefore struggle to benefit the skin. In fact, in most case scenarios, they make the skin worse. That’s why the MF team decided to create a facecare blog today because we care about not just our customers but society as a whole too. This, therefore, brings us to the creation of the MF Seamoss facemask. The contents inside sea moss are, of course, natural and healthy for the body. This means, if they’re healthy for the body, they must be healthy for the skin too. You will need: -           MF Seamoss gel (check out our previous blog on how to make that) -           Chlor...

What is the best type of coffee?

Good evening my MF Product Blog readers, it’s been a while but we’re back with more content for you guys. Today, we saw a reader ask, “Out of all the different types of coffee, which one is the best?” and we believe it’s a great question. However, we also think that it depends on what you’re drinking for and that is what we will be investing in todays MF Blog . So, without further ado let’s get into this. A good cup of coffee is one that does whatever job it is that you assign it. Whether it be the most rank, percolated cup of coffee that you’re in dire need off for that extra boost or the most complex mocha made with MF Coffee that finesses your tongue with a touch of foam while you eat an olive shortbread. I know, fancy. The point is that there are so many variations of coffee to tickle your fancy. So, given that there are lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas the point this is that, while the ingredients are simple, the experience is not. There is nothing crazy about ordering a capp...
