The five most cost-effective coffee beans are better than those recommended by the brand of hand-made coffee beans.

As the saying goes, "good coffee cannot do without good beans". Everyone knows the famous and expensive coffee beans, and it is only natural that they are of good quality. But in reality, there are also some coffee beans with high performance-to-price ratio and good flavor. In the front street of this issue, we will share some coffee beans that are suitable for the daily consumption of novices.

Queen's Manor of Brazil Huang Bourbon

Recommended index: ★★★★☆

Recommended reason: sweet and mellow flavor, easy to cook, reasonable price, high performance-to-price ratio.

The Queen's Manor has won numerous awards and won the COE Excellence Cup in 2011. The estate mainly grows boutique bourbon coffee, among which Yellow bourbon is the "proud work" of the Queen's Manor.

If you are new to brewing coffee with a fresh grinder, then this bean is perfect for practicing brewing. Qianjie baked this bean with a medium baking degree. This has a better experience than cooking some lightly roasted coffee beans. And it is very easy to brew sugar-like sweetness, while coffee as a whole is biased towards the flavor of chocolate and creamy peanuts, and it is easier for people who are just beginning to come into contact with coffee to accept its taste.

Qianjie recommends this coffee bean because it can not only be well used in hand flushing, but also has a good flavor performance in mocha pots, French presses and Italian coffee machines, there is no doubt that it is the "one-size-fits-all oil" in the cost-effective ratio.

Ethiopia Yega Xuefei G2

Recommended index: ★★★☆☆

Recommended reasons: classic Yega flavor, ultra-high performance-to-price ratio, the first choice for acidity lovers.

Many people come into contact with sour coffee from Yega Xuefei, whose citrus and flower flavors have captured the hearts of some people.

Why does Qianjie recommend Yega Xuefei G2? The coffee beans recommended in this issue are the king of performance-to-price ratio. G2 is the grading system of raw coffee beans in Ethiopia. Of course, the best level is G1. But if you know the coffee grading system in Ethiopia, you will find that G2 is also a good choice.

Essel's coffee grading is mainly based on the number of defects, of course, cup test results are also used to assist the grading in recent years. G1 requires no more than 3 defective beans per 300 grams of raw beans, while G2 allows 4-12 defective beans per 300 grams of raw beans. Of course, manual selection is carried out both before and after baking. The gap between G1 and G2 in the state of cooked beans will only be narrowed. Coupled with the price of a horizontal comparison, Yejia Xuefei G2 is indeed a good choice.

Yega Xuefei G2 is very suitable for beginners to practice hand brewing and to serve as daily rations for coffee lovers.
