With the increase of coffee brands, for ordinary coffee drinkers, buying coffee has become a tricky thing, and it is really tangled for families to choose what kind of coffee green beans to hand.
The first factor that determines whether the coffee taste can be popular is the quality of the coffee beans, only high-quality coffee has the opportunity to brew a delicious cup of coffee, and now there are two types of coffee on the market, one is commercial beans, the quality is lower, the defect rate is high, and the other is the boutique beans, the price is several times more expensive than the commercial beans, then, how to choose the right coffee beans for yourself?
Step 1: Know your taste preferences
Arabica coffee and Robusta coffee are easily recognizable from the outside, in addition, Arabica coffee grows at high altitudes and is known for its smooth, slightly sour taste, and Robusta coffee grows at low altitudes and is known for its stronger, bitterer taste.
Step 2: The price point of the coffee that suits you
Arabica coffee and Robusta coffee these two varieties of coffee beans in the price difference is very large, Arabica coffee is a higher grade of coffee beans, but depending on how it is grown and roasted, there is no guarantee that Arabica coffee is a high-quality coffee bean, Robusta beans often appear in affordable comprehensive coffee.
Step 3: Determine which type of coffee you prefer
I believe that many people have been to Starbucks, if you don't like Starbucks home-cooked coffee, then you can choose light-colored dried beans, which have a smoother taste. Of course, the flavor of the coffee beans also depends on the degree of roasting, if you prefer Starbucks coffee, you can choose deep roasted coffee, this type of coffee usually has a distinctly bitter taste.
Step 4: Caffeine content ingested
Contrary to common sense, dark roasted coffee actually contains less caffeine than medium or light roasted coffee, with the most caffeine content in light roasting, and espresso beans tend to be medium roasted with a medium caffeine content.
Step 5: Ground Coffee with Coffee Beans:
The only good thing about ground coffee is convenience, especially if you always oversleep in the morning and don't have time to grind the coffee slowly, or you haven't bought the tools to grind the beans, the coffee powder can let you quickly enjoy a good cup of coffee. If you decide to buy ground coffee, then we have two suggestions: (1) buy about two weeks at a time to preserve the flavor as much as possible, and (2) store the ground coffee in a well-sealed jar. But without a doubt, the freshest coffee beans are to buy green coffee beans, which are ground before use, so it is highly recommended to buy coffee beans, grinding the beans yourself is troublesome? It's actually fun and flavorful!
Coffee beans are the most complete form of coffee flavor preservation and ensure the freshness and original taste of coffee. Some manufacturers will mix coffee from different sources in the same package of coffee powder, and it is difficult for consumers to ensure the source of coffee.
Although grinding beans is also a science, believe us, once you start grinding your own beans, you will never go back to the days of ground coffee. Trying out the different flavors of various powder thicknesses after brewing is definitely a great pleasure for self-brewing coffee.
Finally, two different flavor types of coffee beans are recommended:
