HOW MUCH COFFEE DO YOU NEED?

The amount of coffee we send to you should depend on how much coffee you and your family consume. VERITAS® would like to supply you with the amount of coffee you actually need for maximum freshness. Decide how many cups of coffee you need by using the simple chart below to make sure you won't run out.

Total cups per day for your household Amount of coffee you need every five weeks (35 days)
two cups Order 2-1/2 lbs every five weeks, approx. 75-80 cups (five 8 oz bags)
three cups Order 4 lbs every five weeks, approx. 100-120 cups (eight 8 oz bags)
four cups Order 5 lbs every five weeks, approx. 140-160 cups (ten 8 oz bags)

COFFEE TIPS
Coffee is 98% water; make sure to use fresh filtered water for the best cup of coffee.
Amount of coffee used and brew times will all vary the strength of your coffee. Experiment to find the best flavor for your taste!
For maximum freshness store your beans in an air-tight canister. (For long term storage, use freezer.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you prefer your coffee weaker, it will taste better if you make it full strength, then dilute it with hot water or milk.
