My children beg to go here. I agree. We walk through the door and immediately smile. We are greeted warmly and then we set to work building a masterpiece. The FroYo selections are wonderful - better than any place I've visited in OR or CA. The toppings are second to none! Fresh, huge variety, unique. It's a must stop when we have visitors. ...read more

How To Store Coffee To Preserve Its Fresh Quality Flavor And Aroma

  You need to know a little about coffee and how it gets it flavor in order to know understand how to store coffee to preserve it's freshness.Coffee Flavor When coffee is freshly roasted, the oils are noticeable on the beans. Most of the flavor is contained within this oil which is also responsible for the dark and oily color on the roasted beans. When these oils come in contact with air, light, heat and moisture, the flavor and aroma begin to deteriorate. These are the enemies of roasted coffee beans. Coffee beans, at room temperature, undergo chemical change and emit carbon dioxide. Air oxidizes the beans and makes them go stale very quickly. Moisture, such as what the coffee beans are exposed to in freezing, will decrease the flavor as long as it is exposed to it. The oils collected on the skin of the beans get hardened and crack due to freezing.To make matters worse, ground coffee deteriorates much faster than whole beans do.  With more surface area exposed to the air, the more likely it will become stale if not consumed within a week.  Storing Coffee To preserve the flavor intact for longer periods it should be stored fresh which is imperative. Coffee containers should be kept away from air and moisture. Coffee should never be stored in the freezer. With the development of packaging industry, packing of coffee in air tight bags was started.  In fact the process of roasting includes cleaning, roasting, cooling, grinding and packaging. Although vacuum and nitrogen injection packaging was introduced to slow down the deterioration process, once the packages were opened the process of getting stale could not be controlled. To have a longer life of coffee, once the coffee package has been opened, it should be immediately transferred to an airtight container and stored at room temperature. Whole beans are the preferred choice for keeping it fresh and brewing.   Not only will whole beans have a longer shelf life, one should only grind enough coffee as will be used.  Grinding your coffee as you use it will give you the flavor and the aroma that you want from your coffee. The National Coffee Association of U.S.A. recommends that coffee pods and beans be stored in airtight glasses or ceramic containers in a dark and cool place.  If the coffee is in large quantity, they should be packed in a number of small airtight bags.
