Fine Coffee teaches you how to choose fresh Coffee beans

The difference in taste between large coffee beans and small coffee beans

For the same kind of coffee, the bigger the bean, the higher the grade, the smaller the bean, the lower the grade, and the cheaper it is. Of course, there are differences in taste. The bigger the beans, the stronger the coffee. However, in addition to high-grade products, the classification of other coffee is not very strict, for example, the central grade beans can account for 60%. Then beans one level higher than this level and beans at a lower level will each account for 20% at the same time. Therefore, sometimes it is roasted according to the standard of the marked central grade, and the other 40% of the coffee cannot be roasted under the best conditions.
