How to select entry-level coffee beans?

If you prefer not to spend too much money, learning to choose coffee beans is the first and most important step. If you want to make a good cup of coffee, in addition to your own technology, the most important thing is how to select high-quality coffee beans and how to better preserve them.

● makes a few suggestions: when buying coffee, it is best to buy coffee beans rather than ground coffee powder. Although they are all the same in essence, the actual situation is that the ground coffee powder is very easy to oxidize and is not easy to be preserved, even if the coffee powder that seems to be preserved for a long time is actually added with a lot of preservatives. This will greatly affect the taste of the later brewed coffee, so if you want to make a good cup of coffee, the best and most correct thing to do is to grind the coffee on the spot before brewing it. Only in this way can you keep the coffee mellow and taste to the greatest extent. Ordinary coffee beans can be preserved for about a month or so, but if it is coffee powder, it should not exceed five days at most.

Here, here are some suggestions for choosing entry-level coffee beans.

The first point of ● is to pay attention to the original habits of coffee beans. Coffee beans should not be exposed to strong sunlight and should not be put together with volatile things. These two points indicate that coffee beans should be sealed in dark boxes or jars.

The second point of ● is to distinguish the beans you need according to the color of coffee beans. Whether they are beginners or friends who have been in the coffee circle for a long time, you still need to be familiar with these basic knowledge. Coffee beans will show different colors depending on the degree of roasting. The flavor of coffee itself will also change. The sour taste of lighter coffee beans is very strong, but with the deepening of roasting, the sour taste of coffee beans will slowly disappear, while the bitterness will rise step by step. Basically, we divide the roasting degree of coffee beans into light roasting, moderate roasting, and deep roasting. These three main categories can be subdivided into eight subcategories. It is listed in detail as follows: shallow baking, meat baking, moderate baking, deep baking, urban baking, full-process baking, French baking, Italian baking, among which Italian baking is the deepest.

The third point of ● is to learn to check the shelf life of coffee beans. Coffee beans begin to oxidize after baking, just like aluminum powder, although not so fast, but the principle is still the same. And coffee beans have the characteristics of moisture absorption and flavor absorption, so try to buy fresh coffee beans, but for this habit of coffee beans, do not throw away coffee beans that have gone bad, as a desiccant and deodorant in refrigerator or wardrobe is a good choice, environmentally friendly and non-polluting.

The fourth point of ● is how to distinguish whether coffee beans can continue to be used or whether they go bad and have to be abandoned. Apart from looking at the color, the most important thing you should believe here is your nose. Fresh coffee beans smell rich in the original aroma of coffee, while coffee beans that are not fresh or have been over-oxidized will have poor or basically no flavor, and serious coffee beans will smell moldy. The smell of earthy and iodine may even have the taste of fermentation.

The fifth and most essential point of ● is to press or taste it directly with your hand, because when you squeeze the coffee bean with your hand, the good coffee bean will not only give off the overflowing fragrance but also accompanied by the crisp crack sound. Further, you can put the coffee bean into your mouth and bite it open. If the sound of the crack is crisp and short, then it shows that the coffee bean is not wet. Another purpose of doing this is to see whether the internal color of the coffee bean is consistent with or close to the outside. The coffee with the same appearance is naturally roasted well and belongs to high-quality beans. If the coffee beans are different from each other inside and outside, it shows that the firepower is too fast or the heat is not well mastered when roasting, and the taste of such beans will be greatly affected when they are finally made into coffee.
