A Little Bit about Gourmet Coffee

Regardless of how frequently one goes to a Coffee Shop you cannot really appreciate the true master of gourmet coffee unless they know the history along with some pertinent information about gourmet coffee.
It is true that you don’t really have to be an expert and understand gourmet coffee to enjoy the drink, but to really appreciate the taste and for the true coffee fans who know what gourmet coffee is absolutely capable of, it helps to know a bit more about it than the shop owner that simply sells the jar of instant coffee.
Gourmet coffee generally tastes much better when fresh as opposed to some wines which really taste better the longer you leave them or with ageing, usually with coffee the beans that have been roasted no more than a week before taste the best and if you want the best in gourmet coffee then it really has to be only 100% Arabica coffee.
To buy freshly roasted coffee these days from the local grocery store or supermarket is almost impossible what you get from them is probably roasted and ground some three or four months ago or probably much longer than that and so it is best to buy the coffee beans in batches and grind them with a coffee grinding machine as and when you need them.
It’s quite simple with the various grinding machines available today and to appreciate gourmet coffee it’s really best to grind as much as you need for that moment and to keep the rest sealed in an airtight jar or seal until needed again, also to buy these coffee beans in smaller batches is best to retain freshness
After getting the gourmet coffee beans in batches you can’t just leave them in an open jar or exposed to room temperature, It’s best to store them in an air- tight jar or vacuum seal them and keep this cool in a fridge, if you intend to keep these much longer then keep them in an air tight container in the freezer.
It’s also best to get the correct grinder for the type of brewing machine that you have and normally about two tablespoons of the gourmet ground coffee with about six ounces of water makes a great drink, although you have to adjust these measurements to suit your pallet and how you really like your gourmet coffee to taste.
To compare with wine it’s the country where the grapes are grown along with the season and year when the crop was grown that makes all the difference in taste whereas with gourmet coffee it’s not only the country of origin but the reputation of quality from the reputable brand named companies that matter too and so be sure to buy branded reputable gourmet coffee for assurance on freshness, quality and taste.
gourmet coffee is not for the rush hours when you are in a hurry like in the morning when you want to be quick to get to work, it’s best to have instant coffee at times like this. To really enjoy a cup of gourmet coffee you have to take your time in the preparation and most of all the patience to smell the aroma appreciate the scent, taste and texture of the drink and once you go down this path you’ll soon get addicted to have some time to yourself and get to experiment a bit more to get a variety of flavors.
