Gourmet
Coffee – You Can’t Resist The Second Cup
by: NamSing Then
Could you ever resist the craving to have a second cup of that
beautiful, strongly aromatic and lazily steaming cup of coffee?
Perhaps no one can do it. A passionate Gourmet’s delight,
freshly brewed, thick and dark brown and irresistible coffee just
brightens up your day like no other drink or anything else can do.
Why Is Gourmet Coffee So Special?
One might be tempted to ask why gourmet coffee is so special.
Well, here is the answer. For starters, gourmet coffee is always
made by high quality fresh Arabica coffee beans which are always
hand picked unlike other commercial coffees which are mostly
machine graded. Hand picking of coffee beans eliminate chances for
dirt such as twigs, leaves etc to sneak in and spoil your coffee.
Secondly, gourmet coffee beans are specially treated with oils
after roasting which enhances its flavor to no end. The oil used
for coffee bean treatment is a blend of many natural oils which do
not have their adverse effect on the shelf life or stability of
the ground powder unlike synthetic oils. The oils are so mixed
that their characteristic flavors neutralize each other.
You can have different tailor made roast for your gourmet coffee.
Deep roasted beans some what loose their natural aroma and this is
why you feel the ‘roasted flavor’ when drinking it. Rather you
would prefer a lighter roasting which retains its entire natural
aroma.
Arabica coffee beans are ground to the exact perfection of
fineness to get its best taste. But generally a finer grind
results in a full-bodied cup of coffee, but as many would like it,
coarser grinds are preferred to make coffee with coarse filters.
Finer grinds are preferred by those who like espresso but true
lovers of gourmet coffee will almost invariably go with the coarse
ground coffee powder as boiled water takes its own sweet time to
pull out the flavor completely, especially in drip type filters.
Arabica coffee beans are never stored in warehouses as they are
dispatched quickly after harvesting. It is the same story after
roasting and grinding them, too. The beans from Arabica trees are,
by nature, tastier than Robusta, another cheaper variety.
To its credit, Robusta coffee bean offers you higher caffeine
content along with that characteristic acidic taste. Another
little known fact is some marketers mix a small percentage of
Robusta with gourmet coffee beans.
