(Party Planning Secrets: The Ultimate Guide To A Successful Party - Chapter 31, page, 167.)For a great pick-me-up, coffee is one of the most fundamental elements to any great party or event. And yet it is often forgotten in the planning. Hosting a party is an enormous task, with food and alcoholic beverages being the top priority in the party giver’s mind. This may be the biggest reason that coffee is overlooked. Or maybe it’s sub-conscious, stemming from the anxiety of having to make a good cup of coffee for dozens of people. Fear not — I’m here to rescue you from your coffee worries forever!
When buying loose coffee beans, crack a bean between your fingernails. If it cracks easily and you smell the vibrant aroma, it’s fresh. Old coffee is rubbery, will have a flat smell, and will sometimes
give off a rancid odor.
Purchase whole-bean coffee and grind it at the store. Do this a couple of days in advance. Great coffee will still be great a day or two after grinding.
Keep your coffee as fresh as possible by storing it in an airtight container. Bag it and squeeze out the excess air. Store the coffee in a cool, dark place.
Never freeze your opened coffee. In the freezer it is exposed to moisture, which will change the flavor.
