They are also members of Arabica, why are some coffee beans so expensive?

The first packet of self-grinding and brewing coffee beans is the "Starbucks Parker Market Coffee beans" sold by COSTCO recommended by many people.

The taste is a little strong, the coffee bean is full-bodied, the taste is a little bitter and irritating to the throat, but on the whole, it is palatable. After drinking it for a few years, I went to buy it again in August this year. I found that this time the beans felt more irritating to my throat, and I had some palpitations and discomfort after drinking them. It was the same twice (my wife also drank it together, and I felt uncomfortable as well). So I resolutely took it and returned it.

I didn't know which to drink after returning it, so I chose COSTCO's own brand "Kirkland Espresso Blend Coffee beans" [4-smoky with sour taste; 2-bitter]

This coffee bean is much cheaper and is said to be the bean used in the COSTCO store coffee. When grinding beans, I found that the beans have a lot of crumbs (no matter rough or fine), the smell of tobacco is very heavy, and the feeling to the throat is also very sharp, which is not refreshing at all, but for the sake of being cheap, I still reluctantly continue to drink. If you want to grind the beans, it is recommended to grind the beans a little thicker so that the bitter taste is not so heavy as to be difficult to taste.

Later, I really felt bad, and I happened to see a coffee bean "Casa Casa boutique coffee bean series top Nicaraguan manor beans" in RT-Mart. [3-awesome; 2-slightly bitter]

I remember buying a bag of 188 yuan (half pound = 227g) for the first time and drinking it with the mentality of having a try. I didn't expect to be amazed. After this coffee bean was ground, it was clean, there was no powder, it was brewed, it tasted smooth and strong, it did not irritate the throat at all, and there was no palpitations and discomfort after drinking. I highly recommend it! I went to buy a bag today and found it cost 199 yuan, but it's still a good deal.

Because of the surprise mentioned above, I also bought a bag of Casa Casa boutique coffee beans series Ethiopian Yegashifi beans [4-smoky; 2-super sour] (203 yuan)

As a result, compared with the price and taste, I was quite disappointed. I would rather buy top manor beans. This bean is also ground clean without fine crumbs, a bit smoky, but not irritating to the throat and slightly sour; fine and too sour, which is basically suitable for people who like to pay more attention to the taste. To be honest, it is not much different from the early Parker market coffee beans, after drinking will be a little shaking, excited upper body (feeling caffeinated? ).

The Casa Casa boutique coffee bean series has a total of four beans, as well as "Malawian mountain coffee beans" and "Sumatra emerald beans". Let's try the other two next time. I won't buy any more Sheffield beans--

Originally wanted to go to Quanlian to rob Casa boutique beans to buy one get one free (written on Casa's official website), but found that there was no such activity at the scene. It just so happens that the special coffee beans next to it are "Casa Arabica Coffee beans" [3 or 3. 5-bitter taste] (299 yuan for a pack of 454g and 499 yuan for two packets).

The first sip will only feel bitter, but then you will feel a little sweet, with a little fruit flavor and cocoa flavor, drinking alone is still too bitter, it is recommended to add fresh milk, but it is not astringent, there is no smoke and caffeine overweight, so it can be regarded as coffee beans with acceptable CP value. It is worth mentioning that the appearance of this coffee bean is quite special, but the beans are uneven and broken, and people with perfect bean cleanliness may not be able to stand it-.

As soon as Casa APP had a special price on the shelves, he bought Casa special coffee beans (454g 188yuan) [3-mild]

The taste is surprisingly mild, there is no bitterness, only a little sour, the coffee beans themselves are intact, the beans are strong and taste good, but they are still not as warm and moist as the manor beans.

Casa APP bought "Casa Classic Blue Mountain Special Coffee beans" [4-only bitter] (a packet of 454g 188 yuan)

The evaluation on the Internet seems to be good, but in fact, it's so bitter! Only the endless bitterness, it is better to grind the beans a little bit, but it is still very bitter, feeling more bitter than traditional Chinese medicine, it is better not to buy it.

A coffee bean "Casa Casa boutique coffee bean series Sumatra emerald beans" [3.5-slightly bitter] (175 yuan for a pack of half a pound) is sometimes on sale at RT-Mart.

The super-glossy, fresh beans on the surface of this coffee bean are packed with carbon dioxide and are clean after grinding, with no dust at all. Brew to drink (brewing is more fragrant than manor beans), taste a little bitter with a little cocoa, drink a little bit will be a little caramel. This kind of beans is very suitable to add full-fat fresh milk to make a latte. After drinking it, you won't feel uncomfortable with palpitations. Although it is a little less than the remaining rhyme of manor beans, you can almost drink this kind of beans every day when you see the cheaper ones. (buy 5 packs of beans at a special price! )--

Big Runfa sometimes special coffee beans "Casa Casa boutique coffee beans series Malawi alpine coffee beans shallow roasting" [3.5-bitter]

The price is really a mess (175 yuan a pack when you buy it, down to 161 yuan every other week, and then rise back to 228 yuan a week). This coffee bean tastes bitter but not astringent, not very palatable, only a little bit sweet, and you can barely drink it with fresh milk. I don't like it.

Wife company colleagues imported, picked their own beans, self-baked coffee beans "Coffee Fan sweet sun-Ipanema Manor (medium and deep roasting)" [3.5-smooth and refreshing]

300 yuan for a bag of half a pound, this coffee bean tastes smooth and refreshing, with cocoa flavor, and will have the feeling of "did you really drink coffee just now" after drinking it? no burden, recommended--

Wife company colleagues imported, picked their own beans, self-baked coffee beans "Coffee Fan Brazil-COE third runner-up Shenmu Manor (medium and deep roasting)" [3.5-smooth and refreshing]

300 yuan for a bag of half a pound, this coffee bean is also smooth in taste, with a little drupe flavor and a slight bitter taste. Personally, it is stronger than "Sweet Sun-Ipanema Manor". After drinking it, there is no palpitation or discomfort. Recommend--

In addition, the coffee bought on the market:

The coffee (American, latte) of 7-11 and Lairford is mediocre, but refreshing.

The coffee of the whole family has a strong flavor and is suitable for drinking when you need to wake up.

As for OK coffee is not recommended, there is a strong coffee flavor, super disgusting.

Starbucks mocha and lattes are well-behaved, while American coffee is exactly the same as Pike market beans. Every day, American coffee tastes like coffee before you finish your urine (usually with coffee flavor). You don't feel well. Drink bad beans.

Coffee at 85 degrees C and Danti tastes as light as water.

McDonald's breakfast coffee is similar to COSTCO's own brand.
