Do You Know How To Buy The Best Coffee Beans?

People who are not familiar with whole coffee beans and coffee often ask what so special about coffee beans in the first place when jar of regular coffee can be easily purchased and is much more convenient. That would be absolutely true if you’re all about convenience. But good taste is a whole other matter. What many people don’t know is that there are more than twenty different kinds of coffee beans all with differing tastes and flavors.

Coffee beans can divided into two main types. Avid coffee drinkers might already be familiar with the many different kinds of coffee beans that can be purchased.

Coffea Arabica is the scientific name of a type of coffee bean that makes up between sixty to seventy percent of the world’s consumption. This is also the type that most people like out of the many other types. This type of coffee bean is also very expensive largely because of the strict growing conditions required to grow this type of coffee. These plants need high altitude to thrive and you should be at least around 3,000 feet above sea level. In addition the temperature should not exceed the low-70s degrees Fahrenheit range.

The less popular type of coffee beans make up around thirty-forty percent of the world’s coffee consumption. Scientists call this type of coffee ‘Coffea Canephora’ and is commonly called Robusta. This type of coffee bean is considered inferior quality as compared to the much loved coffea Arabica and is hardly sold separately. This type of coffee bean can be grown at temperatures of around 85 degrees Fahrenheit and almost anywhere. However this type of coffee bean is a bit bitter and most people don’t like the bitter taste associated with this type of bean.

This type of coffee is also commonly called Robusta. This type of coffee bean is thought to be of an inferior quality because of its bitter taste. Coffee Cofera or Robusta can be grown at around 85 degree Fahrenheit and in almost any place. However because of its bitter taste its not very popular among most people. This lower quality, somewhat bitter coffee Robusta is often used as filler coffee beans with coffee Arabica to reduce the overall cost of the better tasting and more expensive Arabica coffee. A majority of times when you do purchase coffea Arabica it is mixed with Robusta.

One thing to consider when it comes to coffee is that a good cup of coffee starts with freshly ground coffee beans. Even if you spring for the gourmet type of coffee, if is already ground up, it will start losing its flavor and aroma soon after opening. For this reason, it’s wiser to buy coffee beans whole and store them in an air tight container until needed. Instead of buying that big jar of coffee, consider your coffee drinking habits and preferences.

You may want instead to buy coffee beans in smaller quantities and grind as much as you need for each potful. A decent coffee grinder is pretty inexpensive and can be indispensable when it comes to making that quality cup of freshly brewed coffee.

Picking a home coffee machine can be next to impossible. It is not a choice that you should be making without doing some fact finding. Not all coffee machines are correct for everyone some people may like coffee pods some may not.
