Use clean water. Do not use tap water. I repeat, do not use tap water. Clean water means a clean coffee taste. Make sure that you have a quality water filter and then make sure to change the filters when required. This will eliminate a lot of the impurities that can have an affect of the taste of your coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.beangenius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coffeegrinder.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-439 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.beangenius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coffeegrinder.jpg?resize=251%2C157\" alt=\"coffeegrinder\" width=\"251\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coffeegrinder.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coffeegrinder.jpg?resize=300%2C188&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coffeegrinder.jpg?resize=1024%2C640&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coffeegrinder.jpg?w=1394&amp;ssl=1 1394w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/coffeegrinder.jpg?w=2091&amp;ssl=1 2091w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>\u00a02. Grind your beans fresh everyday. Freshly ground coffee not \u00a0only smells amazing, it is essential to a perfect cup of coffee. The \u00a0oils in coffee are extremely delicate and once coffee is ground, it \u00a0is susceptible to contamination of other odors. Ground coffee, \u00a0once exposed to oxygen, looses its aroma very quickly. In as little \u00a0as 15 minutes, coffee loses about 60% of its aroma, making for a \u00a0very flat cup of coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-440 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.beangenius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/woman-washing-dishes-in-sink.jpg?resize=240%2C159\" alt=\"woman-washing-dishes-in-sink\" width=\"240\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/woman-washing-dishes-in-sink.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/woman-washing-dishes-in-sink.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>3. Make sure your coffee maker is clean! This one is\u00a0obvious, but minerals can build up in your\u00a0coffee\u00a0maker and change the taste of the coffee. If you\u2019re looking for the purest (and best) taste of your coffee, clean your coffee maker! The easiest way to breakdown mineral buildup is use equal parts white vinegar and hot water to let any carafes soak. If you have an automatic brewer, you&#8217;ll put the white vinegar solution in the water tank and turn it on like you&#8217;re brewing coffee. The vinegar breaks down any mineral build up and cleans all the inside piping as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Continue to get the best flavor from your <a href=\"http:\/\/Beangenius.com\">BeanGenius coffee<\/a> with these recipes from Klatch, one of our featured roasters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.beangenius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/BEST-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-444\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.beangenius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/BEST-1.png?resize=693%2C581\" alt=\"BEST (1)\" width=\"693\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/BEST-1.png?w=940&amp;ssl=1 940w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/BEST-1.png?resize=300%2C251&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.beangenius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/BEST-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-445\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.beangenius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/BEST-2.png?resize=693%2C581\" alt=\"BEST (2)\" width=\"693\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/BEST-2.png?w=940&amp;ssl=1 940w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beangenius.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/BEST-2.png?resize=300%2C251&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you already buy high quality beans, you&#8217;re already a step ahead of a lot of people out there.
