STEP FIVE: |
What’s
the Right Holding
Time for Your Coffee? |
The
amount of time your coffee will stay fresh after brewing is called the Holding
Time. Holding the coffee between 175°–190° (80°– 88°
C) § will maintain its fresh brewed flavor over a specified period
of time.
When a coffee decanter is placed on a warmer, the brew begins to break down
with the application of direct heat. After 20-30 minutes your coffee begins
to lose its fresh brewed flavor and may no longer be considered acceptable.
Beyond 30 minutes, the flavor can deteriorate to the point of being objectionable.
If you keep fresh brewed coffee in an airpot or other closed and insulated
container without application of intense heat, the coffee will stay fresh
longer.
