A little reminder to buy coffee beans

When buying coffee beans, you need to communicate these questions with the clerk:

1. What kind of coffee utensils are used to make coffee?

It's best to tell the clerk what kind of coffee brewing method you use. In this way, the shop assistant can recommend suitable coffee beans for you. In addition, you may also be able to share your experience with the shop assistant.

two。 I like the taste of coffee.

Describe to the clerk what kind of coffee you like. There is no need to be as professional and relaxed as a professional coffee review, such as something stronger or sour, so that the clerk can recommend the most suitable coffee to you according to the taste characteristics of your own coffee.

3. Don't be superstitious about the taste of some kind of coffee.

Do you often hear descriptions like "Colombia is sour" and "Manning is bitter"? If you are also affected by these descriptions and stubbornly think that this is an axiomatic fact, or even judge the quality of the coffee beans you buy by such criteria, then I am sorry to tell you that you may be wrong. Because you need to go through a very important step from the raw coffee beans to the dark coffee beans you are familiar with, which is "roasting". Although the coffee bean itself will have obvious regional characteristics, but in the roasting process, the roaster may adjust according to his own understanding of the taste of coffee, and finally get the taste of the same coffee can show a variety of features. Perhaps, in this way, you can understand why the taste of the same coffee beans bought in different places is so different.

4. Learn the roasting date of coffee beans.

As a food, coffee beans naturally have indicators such as "shelf life". Coffee beans are similar to seafood, the fresher the better. The indicator of freshness is the "baking date". It is recommended to buy coffee beans with a roasting date of less than two weeks.

5. Buy whole coffee beans (whole bean).

Basically, stores will provide free coffee grinding service, that is, they can help guests grind coffee beans into coffee powder for free. If you want to fully enjoy the aroma of a cup of coffee, it is recommended to buy whole coffee beans, Whole Bean. The most attractive thing about coffee is the aroma of ta, and in the life of coffee, the grinding process is definitely on the list, even in the top three, if you want to choose the list of the most fragrant moments. In addition, from the point of view of safekeeping, the vitality of whole coffee beans is much stronger than that of coffee powder, and coffee whole beans can maintain their aroma for a longer time. If you often drink coffee, why not buy your own coffee grinder, manual or electric, you can not only enjoy the fun of making, but also better enjoy the aroma and flavor of coffee?
