Premium Coffee Beans

If you are not a coffee lover, nothing surprising, but in reality, there are several elements that affect the quality of the rendering in cup. We will explain to you how to choose high quality beans and get the best coffee beans.

The selection of premium coffee beans

The careful selection of producers will have an impact on the taste of the coffee in the cup. All the more so when it comes to high-end coffee beans since we favor certain types of coffee and an variety of coffee rather than another.

- The pure origin : Also called local coffee , it's a cafe from one place and who has thereby a unique and singular character. The advantage is that, as with wine, you have traceability of your coffee beans. Some sort of identity card.

- The variety : It influences the aroma in the cup and some are more sought after than others. So you've probably heard of the bourbon coffee beans , the Catuai which are arabica coffees very often identified in high-end cafes.

- elevation : The higher the grain is grown , the better the quality . The high altitude starts from 1200 m. She plays on the density and hardness of the grain which thus better concentrates the sweetness and therefore provides better flavors . Central America and Latin America, for example, are famous for providing the best coffees in the world with their plantations located at high altitudes. The Blue Mountain coffee bean is the illustration of the best with its slight acidity, its round and balanced body.

A slow roasting of premium coffee

In the hands of the roaster, the coffee bean improves. The work that is done on green coffee is a complex balance between the cooking time of the coffee beans and the temperature . Well roasted, a coffee becomes tasty, aromatic thanks to the respect by the roaster of its intrinsic characteristics such as the variety of coffee, its method of treatment etc.

Slow roasting called "artisanal roasting" is the method that guarantees you a coffee experience with finesse. The bean is cooked in 20 minutes, when industrial roasters do it in a maximum of 10 minutes and is monitored by humans with real know-how.

The freshness of premium coffee beans

On packets of coffee beans roasted by an artisan, roasting date will be systematically mentioned since it guarantees the freshness of your coffee. Furthermore, a degassing valve is present there to ensure the preservation of the package in an optimal way. Once opened, the grain will keep in an airtight container for two months.

If you take these precautions, you will have a quality cup, whether you are using for your espresso or making filter coffee. Have a coffee grinder is always the best solution to get the best result, because the fresher the coffee, the more aromas you will have !
