Wondering how to decide what coffee to buy online? Here are some tips to help you make better coffee purchasing decisions!
Whether you are trying to work out what countries are going to give you the best fit for your preferences, or just understanding roast degrees more, this guide will help.
Why Country Or Continent Should I Buy Coffee From?
General flavour profiles you should expect from coffees and the places they are grown; the Americas will often deliver more chocolatey, nutty tasting coffees, often with lower levels of acidity (or fruitiness), African coffees will often deliver much more fruity tasting coffees, with higher levels of acidity, and finally coffees from Asia will often give more earthy, rich and chocolatey tasting coffees.
How Does Roasting Affect The Taste Of Coffee?
When we get coffee into the roastery, we have to decide how we want to best represent that coffees characteristics. Roasting a coffee quicker, to a lower end temperature means we go through less of the chemical reactions, or cooking processes. This lighter roasting process means that more of the organic acids are kept in the coffee, resulting in a more fruity tasty coffee, higher in acidity and is usually best enjoyed as black filter coffee.
The longer we roast coffee for, and the higher the end temperature we take the coffee to, the more body, bitterness and richness we develop in the coffees flavour profile. Generally, more espresso focused coffees will be roasted a bit more to help cut through milk based coffee drinks.
