Producing a top quality cup of coffee requires special care and just a little effort and no less so with Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee®. To get the most out of your very special coffee we recommend the following steps which are quite easy and will be worth the small effort. You've purchased equisite top quality Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee® and we want to ensure you get the best brew possible. Only use whole bean coffee. We believe this is so important that we sell only whole bean and grind immediately before brewing. See our section below on grinders.
There is no need to use mineral water or bottled water--in fact it will likely alter the taste of the coffee. Normal tap water and even a simple charcoal filter like a Brita will suffice.

Grinding your coffee immediately before brewing with even an inexpensive blade style grinder will produce superior results to buying pre-ground coffee. Why? Even with the best processing and packaging pre-ground coffee will be exposed to air in the ground state during processing.

We recommend that you brew your first pot of Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee much stronger than you normally would brew coffee. This way you can add boiled water to the cup to dilute to your taste. If you brew it too weak you have wasted the pot. This way you can discover the perfect ratio for your taste buds. With that in mind, we have found the following ratios to work very well and with no waste. All references to cups are to 6 ounce (the standard in the coffee world).
