Coffee bean question – What is the difference between brands of gourmet coffee?
Question by epic_laydown: Coffee bean question – What is the difference between brands of gourmet coffee?
I know it’s taste, but what I mean is what makes them different? The beans they use? the method of grinding, or roasting, or something else? And how can I, as the consumer, find this information out? will the website tell me what beans they use, where they come from, how they roast it, etc? Or am I SOL.
Thanks for your answers.

I am a coffee newbie also. I have found a great deal of good information here at this website:
You can find reviews of coffee and where to buy fresh roasted coffee and different methods of brewing coffee.
Under the reference link you will find good info about the coffee grown in different parts of the world and their taste variations.
What makes coffee different? You stated most of them. Where the coffee is grown, how it is roasted, how finely ground, and how it is brewed.
Happy cupping.

Look for a local farmer’s market to sell your goods at. My wife is really good friends with a local coffee roaster that moves a lot of pounds of coffee per week, and she does it all through two farmer’s markets, loyal buyers and one storefront(that specializes in local products).
Farmer’s market, local goods store. Those are your two best options to start with. You could also set up a home-delivery service if you are so inclined, so as to make it easier for people in your area to obtain the coffee when they need it.

Question by Jen: What kind of Coffee is the best coffee to make in your home coffee maker?
I was just wondering what kind of coffee is best for coffee makers. What tastes the best and what flavors?

Answer by misschaos6515
If you go to the grocery store in the coffee aisle, they will have so many flavors of coffee you wouldn’t know what to pick! =) French Vanilla is really good and so is hazelnut, but there’s so many, you’ll see!!! Also, buy some really good creamer to put in it, it enhances the flavor too, like there’s french vanilla creamer and hazelnut. It’s by the milk at the grocery store!

Q&A: Where to find a quality coffee press inexpensively?
Question by J_O: Where to find a quality coffee press inexpensively?
Plain and simple: thrifty and coffee connoisseur.
Bodum is VERY popular, BUT I learned recently from a friend that it is very delicate [her’s shattered by accident in the process of washing it by hand. It tipped as soon as she set it down in the drained sink.] Therefore, one with a flat base, not pedestal feet would be ideal.

Answer by I heart beets
usually thrift stores have french presses for very cheap.
