Coffee is available in every shop corner of the street. Quality coffee beans are sold in special coffee shops and supermarkets. The problem with all these products is freshness. The coffee beans are sensitive to the atmospheric conditions. Air, moisture, heat and light affect the flavor of the coffee beans. As they get old, they lose their freshness and sometimes smell stale. Many coffee sellers mix the old batch in the newer ones to cut costs. This will compromise the quality of flavor.
