First, don't be greedy for small and cheap, it's best to buy the amount that can be drunk within a month from the coffee baking date.

Because the freshness of coffee beans is calculated from the time they are roasted. Freshly roasted coffee beans will begin to exhaust (mainly carbon dioxide) for about a week. When the gas is completely exhausted (about two to three weeks), the coffee beans are no longer fresh!

Tips for judging coffee bean freshness:

1. Oil: Light to medium roasted coffee beans, the surface will appear foggy, almost no oil; deep roasted beans, the surface will have small particles of oil, the deeper the roasting degree, the more oil.

2. Aroma: Freshly roasted coffee beans will have a strong aroma; on the other hand, stale coffee looks shiny and smells rich in oil, which means that you have bought stale coffee beans.

3. Foam: Fresh coffee beans still have some undischarged gas, so when hot water is poured on the ground coffee powder, the surface will produce foam phenomenon, coffee beans just like breathing, there will be some bubbles and crema after production.

Second, buying coffee beans with clearly marked dates is a smart choice.

Generally speaking, food products will look at the shelf life and taste period, coffee beans belong to food, some coffee manufacturers use the central roasting way to mass produce coffee beans, shelf life is usually between 12 to 18 months, but shelf life and freshness are two different things, coffee beans actually need to look at the taste period, the fresher coffee beans brewed out of the better to drink oh!

Third, do not buy coffee from unknown sources or unclear labels

Many coffee shops in the market have to buy poor quality and cheap green beans due to price competition, so they dare not clearly indicate their coffee ID cards. However, the coffee in Front Street Coffee has a clear and complete ID card, so that you can buy peace of mind and drink peace of mind.

The coffee beans of Front Street Coffee, in addition to having ID cards, have been sent to SGS for inspection, which has tested 398 pesticide residues and the content of aflatoxin, ochratoxin A and Escherichia coli, but none has been detected. We hope consumers can consume with peace of mind and continue to support the efforts of Front Street Coffee in food safety and transparent consumption.

Fourth, the purchase of a "one-way exhaust valve" packaging bag

Roasted coffee beans are easy to oxidize, especially high temperature and moisture will accelerate the oxidation rate and shorten the best taste period. It is recommended to choose opaque or one-way exhaust valve packaging bags.

Coffee drinking is very subjective, to find good coffee, the most important thing is to first understand your preferences.

If you are not sure what kind of coffee you like, Xiaobian suggests that you can try black coffee without milk and sugar first, cultivate your preference for coffee, practice tasting the aroma and taste of coffee beans from different producing areas, and gradually, you will begin to drink black coffee addiction, but also find your own coffee flavor oh!
