Landmark Coffee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Landmark Coffee is a small family-run gourmet coffee company with over 40 years experience. Founder and president, Carl Landman, started selling gourmet coffee beansroasted on Cannery Row in Monterey California in 1957. He quickly discovered people in the San Francisco Bay Area were passionate about gourmet coffee even then. In the years since, our customers have included supermarkets, delis, gourmet coffee shops, club chains and mail order.
Today the company is run by Carl's son Jim who shares his dad's passion for top quality coffee beans.
As a result of years of experience selling to Price Club, Sam's Club and other cash and carry outlets, Landmark Coffeehas become a specialist in providing top quality coffees at deeply discounted prices.
[edit] Perfect Cup Checklist
- STORE: beans in an airtight container on your shelf for use within 3 weeks. For long-term storage (up to 3 months), keep the beans in the original bag in your freezer. Be sure to zip it tightly closed and squeeze out all the air before putting it in. To limit flavor robbing condensation, remove beans from the freezer as little as possible. Frozen beans do not need to be thawed before grinding and brewing. Never store whole bean or ground coffee in the refrigerator. Condensation and odors from other foods will harm its flavor.
- GRIND: only enough for immediate brewing. Ground coffee loses its flavor much faster than whole beans. Grind coffee to the consistency of coarse sand (approx). Please note: Too fine = bitter; Too coarse = weak.
- MEASURE: one rounded tablespoon per 6 oz. of water. Use more or less to adjust to your personal taste.
- BREW: using a drip type brewer if possible (except for cappuccino and espresso). Start with a clean brewer and fresh good-tasting water. Your brewer should be rinsed thoroughly after each use (residue causes bitterness). Water temperature should be between 180-200 °F.
- SERVE: immediately after brewing. Store brewed coffee in an insulated carafe or airpot. Do no reheat coffee or keep it on a heat source for long. Reheating will ruin its flavor.
