The Puroast® Story

Sitting on a Venezuelan coffee farm one morning, I'm served a cup of coffee by my host, the same fellow who also grew, roasted and brewed the beans. The taste was unlike any coffee I ever had - savory and rich, and very smooth. No bitterness.

I knew then that I wanted to lean about this roasting process. After a long, challenging journey, including valuable tasting sessions with a local Portuguese baker and coffee expert, Puroast Coffee was born.

But there's a lot more to the story.

After many calls from customers saying they didn't have their typical coffee-induced heartburn after drinking Puroast, we decided to find out why.

The Story Continues

We discovered in fact there was a big difference in Puroast - not only does our roasting recipe make for a smoother taste it also greatly reduces the acid in coffee, by more than 70% compared to leading brands. This was confirmed in scientific research at the University of California at Davis. This same research team also found that our roasting process dramatically increases the amount of antioxidants by 7 times more than green tea and 5 times more than other leading coffees.

I think you will discover what I did on that Venezuelan coffee farm. Along with Puroast Coffee's exquisite flavor, the benefits of lower acid and rich levels of antioxidants will bring you enjoyment like no other coffee you've ever had.

What We Believe

We believe the best coffee is roasted the way coffee farmers toast it on coffee plantations around the world: slowly, in small batches, under low heat so that the coffee beans express their best qualities. Without acidity or burnt flavor.

We believe that coffee roasting this way is not just better tasting, but better for you. Science has shown that Puroast uniquely and naturally lowers acid levels and boosts antioxidants without additives.

We believe in sustainable practices and toward that end power our roasters with agricultural by-product and sustainable materials.

We believe in community and friendship around our coffees. Puroast comes from a great mix of cultures and we believe out coffee is at its best when bringing people and ideas together.

How to Clean Your Coffee Maker + 4 Tips for Daily Care

For most people, waking up and drinking a cup of coffee is a morning ritual that involves very little thought. Coffee machines have become a staple on kitchen counters in the U.S. In fact, according to a study featured in the Tea & Coffee Trade Journal, over 58 million coffee machines were purchased last year. At-home coffee makers make it easy to keep the hot cups o’ joe coming, well beyond the morning hours, if that’s what we desire.

But like other small appliances, home coffee makers require a bit of maintenance in order to continue working properly and last through years of use. To keep your machine brewing at its best, learn how to clean your coffee maker and follow these tips for regular care.

1. Always empty the carafe.

If you have a classic coffee maker (as opposed to a single-cup brewer), you may make a pot and let it sit as you slowly drink mugs over the course of a couple of hours. When it’s time to head off to work or school, some of us make the mistake of leaving a half-full carafe on the warmer. Don’t do this! Not only will it result in dark stains on the carafe, it can also lead to a grimy layer of coffee sludge accumulating at the bottom of the carafe. Rather than having to scrub or use stain lifters to remove streaks, spots and sludge from the carafe, be sure to empty and wash it out after each use. By doing this, it’ll stay clean and clear for years to come.

2. Avoid using the coffee maker improperly

This should go without saying, but before you use a new coffee maker, read the instruction manual! The manufacturer of your coffee maker will provide detailed instructions on how to operate the machine properly. One of the biggest mistakes people make with coffee makers is not adding enough water. If a coffee maker doesn’t have enough water, the pump will suck in too much air. Over time, this can damage portions of the pump and may cause the machine to malfunction. So make sure you’re adding the right amount of water to the reservoir before pushing the brew button!

3. How to clean your coffee maker

Removing grounds and coffee oils from your coffee maker is crucial. The best way to do this is with a mixture of half water and half vinegar. Simply pour the mixture into your coffee maker’s reservoir and run the machine. Repeat a few times to thoroughly clean the machine’s internal components. Afterward, run plain water through the coffee maker a few times to remove the vinegar odor. You should also remove the filter basket and wash it well. By performing this maintenance once a month, you’ll keep your coffee maker clean, free of debris and running as smoothly as possible.

4. Inspect your coffee maker regularly.

Another important step in keeping your coffee maker in pristine shape is to regularly inspect it. During this inspection, pay attention to any leaks or cracks in the carafe. If you see damaged components, you need to either replace them or get a new coffee maker. Brewing coffee in a damaged machine can lead to a big mess – and possibly even injuries!

5. The coffee you put in your maker matters.

When trying to keep your coffee maker running efficiency, you should also be selective about the type of coffee you’re using. Most home coffee makers work best with fine ground coffee; but, again, just the manual for information about your specific machine. If you’re grinding your own beans, take care to do it correctly. Enjoy your java Follow these tips, and you should have no problem keeping your coffee maker reliable and functional. Need help choosing a new coffee maker?
