Tips On Coffee Making

4th March, 2010 - Posted by health news - No Comments

Compared with everyday supermarket coffee brands, once you have tasted real coffee you will fully understand why coffee lovers go to great lengths to find the perfect blend as there is nothing like the fresh aroma and taste of freshly ground coffee.

Every coffee bean varies in strength and flavour depending on where the bean is grown. Beans grown in different climates and soils will have a very different taste.

It is said, that the best coffee beans come from Indonesia, where both the climate and soil, is ideal for providing one of the best blends in the world.

Experts say you can never go wrong with a freshly ground cup of coffee – in fact the fresher the coffee bean, the better! Freshly ground and roasted coffee beans provide a far superior taste to that of your everyday supermarket blend.

Supermarkets generally stock only a limited amount of coffee beans so a visit to your local gourmet store may be necessary. Gourmet stores will stock a good variety of beans, and experienced staff can advise you on the different strengths and tastes. Nowadays many stores offer a ‘try before you buy’ which is great if you are trying to find the perfect blend.

To keep your coffee as fresh tasting as possible never buy more than seven day’s supply and always ensure the coffee beans are not broken or splintered. You will be able to smell a quality, fresh coffee bean by checking its aroma.

There are many online stores that offer a ‘next day’ delivery service ensuring you receive fresh beans and local gourmet stores will stock a wide variety of fresh beans where you can choose the beans yourself.

All around the world, for many, many years, coffee has been enjoyed, both for pleasure and also as a quick ‘pick me up’. Coffee is a unique tasting drink, loved by some and hated by others, and comes in various strengths and tastes and will carry on being enjoyed for many years to come.
