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:

Home

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.
