Want to make a top-notch coffee? Origin Coffee's master roaster Roger Sheppard has this advice to help you...

"If YOU believe the TASTE matches the promise of the AROMA, then you have achieved the perfect cup."

Essential to brewing a great cup of coffee are the following important steps...

• Make sure you're using clean, fresh water every time.
  
• Clean your brewing equipment regularly and if your machine is equipped with a water filter, change regularly.
  
• Select the correct grind of coffee for your machine. A fine ground is best for filter coffee. Always use unbleached paper filters.
  
• Don't rely on long holding times for brewed coffee. Quality and taste will deteriorate after 30 minutes plus.
  
• Store ground coffee in a vacuum tight container, some recommend the fridge (not freezer, I've had a bad experience with frozen coffee), for an optimum time of two weeks. It is best to grind enough for two to three days usage only. Obviously freshly ground coffee tastes the best. Roasted beans will stay fresh for four to five weeks if stored in a similar container.
