How to Use
Use one level tablespoon of grounds per 6 fl oz of cold, fresh water in an automatic drip maker, or a rounded tablespoon per cup for a percolator, and adjust to taste. It also brews well in a French press with a four-minute steep or as cold brew at about one cup of grounds per four cups of water steeped overnight. Keep the can tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard; do not refrigerate, since moisture and odors dull the coffee. Try to use an opened can within a month for the fullest aroma.
About Chock Full O' Nuts
Chock Full O' Nuts began in 1926 as a chain of New York City nut shops founded by William Black and turned to coffee in 1932, when the shops became lunch counters serving a nickel cup of coffee. The canned coffee followed and became a household name across the Northeast, helped by its Heavenly Coffee jingle. The brand is now owned by Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA and its coffee is roasted in the United States. Browse more coffee, tea, and drinks in our Drink Collection. Learn more at chockfullonuts.com.

What is the difference between Original Blend and the other Chock Full O' Nuts roasts?
