BEVERAGE PRODUCTION
T a s k O n e. Read and translate the text.
A beverage can be anything from a glass of ice-cold milk to a highly complicated blend of flavors and textures. In general,
winter is the time for warming hot drinks and summertime for refreshing cold ones. Some beverages, such as coffee and tea, are drunk
all year round; both can be enjoyed hot or cold, plain or enhanced with other flavors. Then there are fruit-ades and milk-based drinks
of all kinds; and, the alcohol-based drinks, ranging from cocktails to party punches; and, of course, wines.
However simple the beverage you make, an attractive container will do a great deal to enhance it. Rather than serving hot drinks
in regular cups, use mugs, steins and demitasse cups. As well as looking more attractive in these, the drinks do stay hot. Cold drinks
look better and seem to taste better if served in special glassware, such as brandy snifters or champagne glasses.

STORING COFFEE
Only fresh coffee (give) good flavor. Unopened vacuum-packed ground coffee (stay) fresh at room temperature for over a year.
Once the can (open), the flavor begins to dissipate immediately, so plan to use it within about a week. Replace lid quickly after using.
Keep partially used cans, covered, in the refrigerator. If the vacuum-packed can (contain) more than a week's supply, immediately
after opening it, portion weekly amounts of coffee into airtight containers and freeze them until they (need).
Coffee beans begin to lose flavor and aroma as soon as they (roast) so plan to use them within about 3 weeks. If you don't brew
a lot of coffee or can’t shop often, buy beans as soon as possible after roasting and freeze in airtight containers. They then (keep)
fresh at least 12 months; do not refreeze them.
Unopened instant coffee (stay) fresh over a year at room temperature. Once opened, use it within 2 or 3 weeks. Store opened jars
at room temperature.

MAKING COFFEE
Coffee-oil residue can become rancid and give an off flavor to coffee so be sure coffee-making equipment is (kept / taken /
held) scrupulously clean. (Use a packaged coffee-pot cleaner, (according to / as to / accordingly) directions, to remove coffee oils and
stains when necessary.) Always start (off / out / with) fresh, cold water and fresh coffee. For the best flavor, make at least three-
quarters capacity (from / of / by) the coffee maker. Buy a smaller pot if yours is too big for daily use. Don't skimp on coffee or re-use
grounds.
Coffee tastes best when freshly brewed, so try to make only what you'll serve (within / for / during) an hour or so. Remove wet
coffee grounds as soon as brewing is completed. If you prefer to keep it hot and handy all day long, use paper coffee filters (with / on
/ at) your percolator or drip pot. Flavor keeps better when there's no sediment. If you reheat coffee, always remember to do so over
low heat. Never
let it boil or it will turn bitter.
When using a new coffee maker, first use the proportions of coffee to water recommended (in / at / for) the directions.
Subsequently, if you wish to change the strength of the coffee, use more or less ground coffee, If no directions are included, use 2
level tablespoons of ground coffee to each 6 ounces (3/4 cup) of cold water. (The rated capacity of most coffee makers is based (for /
on / in) a 5-ounce cup of brewed coffee).
