Coffee Freshness

Coffee freshness is NOT an issue with Still Roasting. We source all our organic, specialty-grade beans from a reliable and trusted importer – the Blazac Brothers. Additionally, all coffee is roasted within a maximum of 30 days of your order, though it has typically been roasted within a matter of days.

Water Quality

Water quality is arguably the most important variable that affects the quality of your cup, since 99% of your coffee is water.

For many, the use of cold, bottled water is the easiest (though not optimal) way to deal with this issue. Testing your water, and more importantly, knowing what to do with the results, is complicated at best.

Coffee to Water Ratio

According to the National Coffee Association of America, “A general guideline is called the ‘Golden Ratio’ – one to two tablespoons of ground coffee for every six fluid ounces of water. This can be adjusted to suit individual taste preferences.”
