However, you need not have to be a connoisseur just to be able to enjoy gourmet beans. The beans themselves, even sans being ground in uniquemixes, have an impeccable taste and can be ground on their own.

Luckily, today, there are a lot of online stores now that give reasonable prices for a wide array of selection of premium gourmet beans. It’s not exactly a secret that the supermarket version of coffee is way cheaper, however, you should  know that when you go for gourmet type of beans, you get to have a richer, stronger, and more encompassing flavors of coffee.

You know what they say, sharing is caring. That said, it’s best to have your coffee shared with other people, especially ones you care about. You can give premium gourmet coffee beans as a gift. If the recipient happens to not have any coffee grinder at home, it’s best to grind the beans first before giving them.

A lot of people have been underrating the myriads of gourmet coffee flavors. If you can, always go for gourmet coffee. Don’t settle with mediocrity, and gourmet coffee beans will never give you it. Luxury and impeccability, those are what gourmet coffee beans scream.

How Is Gourmet Coffee Different From Regular Coffee?

 

Today, the word “gourmet” in gourmet coffee must give you even a slight idea that there is something premium or elite about this coffee, and that’s what gourmet coffee really is!

Gourmet specialty coffee is composed of high quality Arabica beans and is suggested to be consumed within just 3 days after being roasted in order for its original flavor to not be lost. This is way different from your frozen instant coffee that you can just avail of anywhere.

Among the most prominent and leading difference between premium gourmet specialty coffee and your regular cup of Joe is that while gourmet specialty coffee is composed of Arabica beans, instant or regular coffee is typically from the lower quality and cheaply available Robusta beans. Robusta beans are known to have a quicker cycle of production and are there available at a more affordable price and more readily than Arabica.

Coffee makers usually opt for the cheaper Robusta beans to produce their coffee, thus sacrificing the quality of their goods. For the most part, they mix Robusta and Arabica beans to make the coffee taste better.

However, if you’re really rooting for Gourmet Coffee then you are better off choosing 100% Arabica brews, and you are bound to be awestruck by its aroma and flavor!

When you’re on the lookout for the right gourmet coffee, it will be best if you take into consideration some significant questions which can hint at the intentions of the seller. For example, does the seller give all the information like the date of packaging, kind of beans made use of (Arabica or Robusta), or whether they are selling grounded coffee or whole beans? Stuff like this, you get the picture. More to these, be sure to review and go to the forums. They can give all the information you require.

Q&A: What is the difference between all the different types of coffee?

Question by Mary: What is the difference between all the different types of coffee?
I’m thinking bout getting a job at a coffee/cafe shop but I don’t drink coffee/tea so I don’t know the difference between all the different types. Can anyone give me a rundown?

Also, I’m a dummy in the kitchen. Can you suggest any other basic kitchen skills I should learn before applying?

Best answer:

Answer by Sofiester

Americano: A single shot of espresso with about 7 ounces of hot water added to the mix. The name for this coffee drink stemmed from an insult to ‘uncouth’ Americans who weren’t up to drinking full espressos.

A Shot in the Dark: See ‘Hammerhead’.

Black coffee: A drip brew, percolated or French press style coffee served straight, with no milk.

Cafe au Lait: Similar to Caffe Latte, except that an au lait is made with brewed coffee instead of espresso. Additionally, the ratio of milk to coffee is 1:1, making for a much less intense taste.

Cafe Breva: A cappuccino made with half and half milk, instead of whole milk. The theory is that the mix gives a richer, creamier flavor. You should be aware, before trying this for yourself, that half and half is much harder to foam.

Caffe Latte: Essentially, a single shot of espresso in steamed (not frothed) milk. The ratio of milk to coffee should be about 3:1, but you should be aware that latte in Italian means ‘milk’, so be careful ordering one when in Rome.

Cafe Macchiato: A shot of espresso with steamed milk added. The ratio of coffee to milk is approximately 4:1.

Cappuccino: Usually equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and frothed milk, often with cinnamon or flaked chocolate sprinkled on top. Some coffee shops will add more milk than that so that the customer will get a bigger drink out of the deal, but that makes the coffee itself far weaker. Click here for how to make Cappuccino

Double, or Double Shot: Just as it sounds, this is two shots of espresso mixed in with the regular amount of additional ingredients. So, for example, if you were going to make a double hammerhead, you would put two shots of espresso into a coffee cup, and fill it with the drip blend, rather than the usual single espresso shot.

Dry Cappuccino: A regular cappuccino, only with a smaller amount of foam, and no steamed milk at all.

This is my other set

1. Decaffeinated Coffee

Decaffeinated looks and tastes just like caffeinated with most of the caffeine has been removed. Keep in mind the keyword here is ‘most’, as there is a little bit of caffeine in decaffeinated . So, if you have to restrict caffeine for health reasons, make sure you don’t drink too much decaffeinated as it can still cause harm in large doses.

2. Iced Coffee

It doesn’t always have to be warm for you to enjoy it. With the prevalence of iced , the coffee lovers can satisfy their thirst while indulging in their favorite cup of java.

Of course, it should be noted that iced coffee usually come in the form of a syrup. This is not to say that you can’t drink brewed or instant after it is chilled, but it will lose some of its flavor.

3. Gourmet or Flavored Coffee

There are two schools of thought behind gourmet or flavored kinds. Some people associate gourmet with the beans, while others consider the flavored to be in this category. But in actuality, many gourmet coffees use flavorings in conjunction with high-quality premium beans. So, when you take a sip, you become intoxicated with the best kind of coffee in the world.

4. Instant Coffee

What happens if you try to create brewed it in the microwave? Most likely, the resulting coffee would be way too strong to drink. You may even get sick because of the concentrated amount of caffeine.

That’s where instant comes in. With instant , a coffee maker is not required for your java. All you have to do is add boiling water, and within seconds, you have coffee that is ready to drink. Of course, be aware that instant is still very strong, even if it was designed for the microwave. So, definitely drink a lesser amount, particularly if you are sensitive to caffeine.

HOPE IT HELPED!

How do you make the perfect cup of black coffee?

Question by Be healthy, be happy: How do you make the perfect cup of black coffee?
I like my coffee black, without sugar, creamer or anything else. But how can I make good black coffee using instant coffee. I don’t have a coffee machine or anything, not even a coffee pot. Can you give me step by step instructions?

Thanks
I do have arabic ground coffee, but that’s a different thing! It’s done in a different way and has a different taste. I’m talking about a normal coffee here that we drink in the morning, not a cup of Turkish coffee.

Best answer:

Answer by kleinebre
“Perfect” and “instant” to me are pretty much a contradiction in terms. Get a little french press pot and real ground arabica coffee. You won’t regret it.

Best answer:

Answer by divaqueen
I had the same problem until I bought a Cuisinart Coffee Maker. It gets every granule in the filter while brewing. I love it, because I love coffee. I drink it black, and want to drink a fresh, bold tasting cup of coffee – not colored water.
