Espresso needs to be drunk quickly, as this coffee loses all its richness as it cools. This espresso is strong, syrupy, and thick, with dense foam and a great aroma.

Colombia is a coffee-growing country and is the place where the best coffee in the world is grown. This gives us the opportunity to enjoy an excellent drink. For this reason, today we invite you to recover this coffee tradition, to value our coffee, and learn how to prepare it.

1. Instant coffee is NOT used to make “red” or black coffee. Instant coffee is excellent for making desserts, or coffee-based drinks like milkshakes. But that is not the real taste for coffee.
2. Buy 100% Colombian ground or seed coffee. These are already easily available in Colombia. You can buy it in our online store Hacienda Ceylán. When we buy the coffee in seeds, we have the possibility to check its quality, roast of the seed, and size.
3. Grind the coffee in an electric coffee grinder at home. This is ideal to keep the coffee fresh. Because the coffee beans retain their characteristics for longer than previously ground coffee. Very good and inexpensive Cuisinart coffee mills are already available in Colombia. You can see some here. The ideal is to grind the coffee at the time of preparing the drink. But if your daily routine does not have the time, you can grind coffee for 2 or 3 days and store it in an airtight container.! The aroma that freshly ground coffee generates is incredible!
4. Store coffee well: Coffee is like a “sponge” of smells. Coffee absorbs all the odors that are next to it. Because of this, we must store it in thick and tightly closed packages. The high-quality bags in which our coffee comes are ideal because they are thick. Make sure you do not let light through, do not let in odors. And its degassing valve allows the natural gases generated by fresh coffee to escape.
5. Use the right amount of coffee. Using too little coffee does not allow us to enjoy the ideal flavor of the drink. On average, you should use between 6 and 8 grams of coffee for every 4 oz of water (a small cup).
6. Use fresh and clean water for preparation. It can be tap water, the important thing is that it is drinkable and tastes good.
7. Use different types of coffee makers. The flavors of a coffee also depend on the coffee maker we use. There are many coffee makers and of many prices. I recommend two types of coffee makers for your daily preparation. Those are easy to find and inexpensive.
   1. Cuisinart 4-Cup Coffeemaker Electric drip coffeemakers use permanent or paper filters.
   2. Piston coffee machines also called French Press: Bodum Brazil Coffee Machine. This coffee machine does not require electricity or filters. it only needs boiling water for its preparation. The coffee is delicious and is made very quickly. You can find them in our store.
8. Do not add sugar to the coffee. Coffee without sugar allows us to perceive all its flavors. Without the sweet covering them up, it tastes the raw flavor. Adding sugar to coffee is like adding sugar to red wine.
9. If there is a little coffee left over from the preparation, we can store it in a thermos. That will keep the heat to consume a few hours later. It is not good to leave the coffee overheating on the stove of the coffee maker because it changes its flavor. If it comes out cold from the thermos. Then the ideal is to heat it a little, in a container, or in the microwave for only 30 seconds. I did not make coffee to keep it stored for over 6 hours.
10. Sit down and enjoy your coffee!
