El Salvador has always embodied the three key ingredients in making the best cup of coffee in the world: rich soil, high altitude, and the perfect climate. The world famous Pacamara (strictly high grown) bean, which is the staple of Omoma's blend, is known internationally for its bold yet well balanced flavor. The coffee of El Salvador bears a full-bodied intensity that is unparalleled. The distinct flavors of the country exceed the highest standards around the world, and is often compared to Hawaiian Kona and Jamaican Blue Mountain. Thus, Omoma has become synonymous with true coffee sophistication. With a rich history of producing coffee since the country's earliest beginnings, El Salvador continues to be one of the world's greatest producers of premium grade 100% Arabica coffee.
Store Your Coffee Beans
It is recommended that you store your coffee beans in an airtight container at room temperature. Do not store coffee in the refrigerator or freezer, as it will absorb moisture that will limit the life and flavor of the beans. Whole bean coffee lasts longer than ground coffee so only grind what you plan on brewing and store the rest.
Measure the Right Amount of Coffee
The key to making great coffee is using the correct proportion of coffee to water. For the richest, most flavorful cup of coffee, use two tablespoons of freshly ground coffee per six-ounces of water. If this formula is too strong for you, add hot water to your coffee after it has already brewed.
Use Freshly Ground Coffee
The best cup of coffee can only come from freshly ground coffee beans. For the best results, coffee should be ground just before brewing. Each brewing device requires its own grind.
Basics of Grinding
Very fine grind - Espresso machines
Fine grind - Neapolitan Flip/Drip method
Medium grind - Electric/Drip method/French Press
Coarse grind - Percolator
Brew with the Best Water
It is important to use fresh, cold water for coffee brewing. A cup of coffee is 98% water, therefore, use water free of impurities, such as bottled or filtered.
