A few steps to buy coffee beans

1. Grab a handful of coffee beans and feel whether they are solid beans with the palm of your hand.

2. Whether it is enough to smell the aroma close to the nose.

3. Put a bean into your mouth and bite it twice. There is a clear sound indicating that the bean is well preserved and not damp.

If you want to buy a single product of coffee beans, grab a handful of coffee beans in the palm of your hand, in addition to the above judgment, but also look at whether the color, grain size and shape of each bean are similar, so as not to buy mixed beans. If you buy mixed beans, it is normal to have different colors, grain sizes and shapes.

Some of the beans seen on the market are shiny and some are dull and colorless, because some beans have been fried and some have not yet. It is normal for heavy-baked coffee beans to produce oil, but it is not good for light-baked beans to produce oil, and the beans may not be fresh at this time!

Heavy-roasted coffee beans are full-bodied and will overwhelm the flavor of light-roasted beans, so the best ratio when mixing the two beans is 1 (heavy baking): 3 (light roasting). Of course, this is not the required ratio, you can try several different proportions.

If you use Turkish coffee beans or Espresso coffee beans, because the aroma of these two kinds of beans is very rich, you can mix them with some light-roasted coffee beans.

The ideal situation is that the freshly fried coffee beans should not be used immediately. They should be stored in sealed cans for about seven days. After all the fragrance is released, it will be better to grind them. Remember how much to drink and how much to grind each time in order to maintain the aroma and freshness of the coffee.
