We bet that at some point you thought that meteorological conditions might have something to do it. But does weather actually have an impact?<\/p>\n<p>The answer isn\u2019t straightforward. While the weather isn\u2019t directly linked to the way coffee comes out, it can affect the beans if they\u2019re not properly stored.<br \/>\nApart from that, it\u2019s also important to adjust your coffee grinder throughout the day, weather notwithstanding.<br \/>\nPay attention to these two variables, rather than the weather forecast and your coffee will be consistently great.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a more in-depth look at both!<\/p>\n<h2>How to store your coffee beans<\/h2>\n<p>First of all, it\u2019s best to check directly with your provider, they will be able to give you the best storage tips for that specific type of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are some general, basic rules when it comes to storing coffee:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pick opaque containers over clear ones, as direct sunlight turns beans stale.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your containers are air-tight, as oxygen can make your coffee go bad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Where to store your coffee beans<\/p>\n<p>Placement is key when storing coffee beans. In general, avoid:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>over-exposed shelves<\/li>\n<li>humid rooms<\/li>\n<li>over-heated spaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The ideal storage space is instead:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cool<\/li>\n<li>dry<\/li>\n<li>dark<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once they come out of storage, pay particular attention to where you place them next to the coffee machine. If they\u2019re kept too close while you\u2019re busy making coffee, the beans may get over-heated, which we know isn\u2019t good. Same goes if they\u2019re kept for too long in the machine before they\u2019re ground.<\/p>\n<p>Only you and your baristas can know what\u2019s best for your caf\u00e9, it all comes down to demand and frequency.<\/p>\n<p>The above is especially important during rush hour, which is why the entire team needs to be a well-oiled machine and work accurately even under pressure.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2669\" src=\"http:\/\/biepiblog.apvdtest.it\/content\/uploads\/blog-1_0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biepi.net\/wakeup\/content\/uploads\/blog-1_0.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.biepi.net\/wakeup\/content\/uploads\/blog-1_0-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.biepi.net\/wakeup\/content\/uploads\/blog-1_0-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.biepi.net\/wakeup\/content\/uploads\/blog-1_0-450x338.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Choosing the right grind<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most common mistakes baristas make is not adjusting the coffee grinder often. Some even set it on the opening day and don\u2019t ever change it. Checking your grinder should be done first thing in the morning and throughout the day, doing this will yield the best results and ensure coffee quality is consistent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Better extraction, better espresso<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The surrounding temperature can impact the extraction of espresso. For example, the temperature of the grinder affects the result: the hotter the grinders are, the more they heat the coffee bean, so you&#8217;ll get a coarser grind if the temperature rises. Under these conditions, water will pass through the ground coffee faster. To balance the effects of temperature on the grinders, it will be necessary to compensate with a finer grinding of the coffee beans.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re using excellent coffee, employing a skilled barista and using a great espresso machine, not adjusting the grinder could still result in awful coffee and nothing will mask that. If coffee is under extracted it will taste watery, sour and weak, if over extracted it&#8217;ll be burnt and therefore bitter.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, always check how hot or cold your caf\u00e9 becomes throughout the day and adjust accordingly. Keep in mind that these changes may not depend on the weather after all, but rather how many people are inside the room, how often the door is left open and so on.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, always strive for the following settings when preparing espresso:<\/p>\n<p>Boiler pressure: 1 bar<br \/>\nBar pump pressure: 9 Bar<br \/>\nTemperature: 90\u00b0C &#8211; 95 \u00b0C<br \/>\nExtraction: 20 &#8211; 30 sec<\/p>\n<div class=\"cats\"><span class=\"cats__title\">Categories<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biepi.net\/wakeup\/cat\/tips-tricks\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Tips &amp; Tricks<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raise your hand if you have ever wondered why coffee tasted better on a certain day versus another?
