If you purchase whole coffee beans, you'll avoid having to waste time grinding your beans when a grinder is not available. Brew them whole.
Most grinders chop the beans inconsistently, resulting in unevenly-sized fragments, which means all of the fragments will brew at various rates. A number of coffees will be of insufficient extraction, while others will be of excessive extraction (strong and bitter). If you decide to use ground coffee, you are making two compromises: you're using inferior-tasting coffee, and you're having to grind it more thoroughly to release the flavor.
Not only does moisture reduce the taste of coffee, but it also impacts its flavor. It may sound odd but try it. You'll soon believe it! While grinding my beans, the surface area I expose to moisture in the air increases. I want my coffee to have as much flavor as possible, so the concept of maximizing my coffee's moisture-barrier properties is an appealing one to me.
Wet the grounds, wait 30 seconds and then brew as usual. Add a little water to the rest of your glass. provide for a 4-minute coffee resting period When pouring into your cup, pour slowly and stop before the grounds get in.

OCM (OnCoffeeMakers.com) was started in 2007 with the first webpage about coffee machines. And for a number of years, we focused on helping people find their desired coffee machine (we still are helping folks with that! So, if you are looking for coffee machines for office or restaurants - check out the link).
In 2010, we started getting enquiries on restaurant marketing and we start to help food and beverage brands with their marketing. Below are campaigns and events that we have done over the years:

Since then, we have also created many marketing workshops and classes for the F&B industry. Many of these modules are still running in tertiary institutions such as Temasek Polytechnic Skillsfuture Academy and also ITE College East COC classes, below are some snippets of our lectures and workshops:
