Coffee
What is the shelf life of Royal Cup coffee?
While we realize you likely will have to restrain yourself to keep from drinking your entire order the moment it arrives at your door, the shelf life of our coffee is about six months.
What is the best temperature to brew coffee?
Nothing’s better than a piping hot cup of coffee. We recommend brewing your coffee in the range of 195 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
How do you store coffee?
We suggest storing it in a mug with plenty of hot water, but others say it is best to store coffee at room temperature in an air-tight container.
How much caffeine is in decaf coffee?
According to the MayoClinic, an 8 oz. cup of decaffeinated coffee contains anywhere from 2 to 12 milligrams of caffeine, which is about 5 to 10 percent of the caffeine in a regular cup of coffee.
Equipment
How do you clean an espresso machine?
You can either use a commercial espresso machine cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water to clean the inside of the machine. Add 3 oz. of vinegar to 20 ounces of water and let it run through the machine. Then run 3 to 4 cups of fresh water through the machine to flush the vinegar solution.

What is the difference between Arabica and Robusta?
Arabica beans and Robusta beans are two different varieties of coffee and typically vary in taste, growing conditions and price. Arabica beans contain higher acidity than Robusta – producing a brighter, sweeter taste. They grow in higher elevations and are vulnerable to harsh weather conditions. Arabica beans are associated with higher prices and specialty coffees. Robusta beans, on the other hand, are more durable and can survive in lower elevations.
Taste
My coffee tastes bitter or burned. What can cause that taste?
Many factors play into the final taste of your coffee; the amount of water, grind size, brew time, bed depth, amount of coffee, temperature, etc. Usually a good place to start is the amount of coffee grounds compared to the amount of water. If there are too few coffee grounds in the brew mixture the water can over-extract, pulling unwanted flavors into your coffee, potentially contributing to bitterness. The next step is to look into your grind size. For small batches of coffee, a drip grind generally should be used. For batches that are a gallon or more, an urn grind is the rule of thumb.
