FAQs 

Q: What is the best type of coffee for beginners?

Colombian medium roast offers balanced flavor without overwhelming acidity or bitterness—easy to brew and universally appealing.

Q: Does whiskey barrel-aged coffee contain alcohol?

No. The beans absorb flavor compounds only; all alcohol evaporates during the barrel-aging and roasting process.

Q: Which coffee has the most caffeine?

Light roasts and specific high-caffeine blends contain more caffeine than dark roasts. Robusta beans also have roughly double the caffeine of Arabica.

Q: How should I store coffee beans to keep them fresh?

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Avoid refrigeration. Use within 2-4 weeks of the roast date for peak flavor.

Q: What's the difference between single-origin and blend coffee?

Single-origin comes from one region/farm with distinct flavors; blends combine beans from multiple origins for balanced, consistent taste.
