Buying Green Coffee Beans |
|
Today more and more people find that they do not function properly first thing in the morning until they have had their first cup of coffee. Although many people prefer to make coffee beans which have already been roasted and then ground so all they need to do is put them in to the coffee machine. There are others who prefer to purchase the green coffee beans and then roast them in order to provide them with a much more distinctive flavor that can not be found anywhere else. For those of you who are thinking about green coffee beans which you can then roast yourself in order to make great cups of coffee with there are certain factors which need to be taken into consideration. Below we take a look at what these factors are. The first thing that you should be looking at when buying any kind of green coffee bean is its appearance. Ideally you should be being those beans which come in a uniform shape or size. If not then when it comes to the roasting process you may find that the smaller ones will become over roasted and the larger ones not roasted enough. Also ensure that the beans are the same size and shape ensures that the coffee when drunk has a consistent taste to it. As well as making sure that the beans are the same shape and size you also need to make sure that they are all very much the same color. Too much variation in their color can again make each cup of coffee you make with them after they have been roasted taste completely different. Generally those beans which have not got a uniform color to them have not been dried correctly and is better to avoid such beans altogether. The next factor which needs to be taken into consideration is where the beans have actually been grown. There are a number of different countries that now produce coffee beans which they dry and then sell in their unroasted format or which have been roasted. Both Hawaii and Columbia produce great coffee beans and although they both grow theirs on mountains each of their coffees comes with its own distinctive flavor. However if you are someone who prefers decaffeinated coffee rather than more traditional forms there are green coffee beans available that enable you to roast them and produce this kind of coffee for you. The main countries that produce decaffeinated green coffee beans today are Columbia, Guatemala and Costa Rica. But again the coffee beans that each of these countries produce taste completely different. The final thing that you should take into consideration when thinking about purchasing coffee beans which have not been roasted as yet is where to get them from. There are a couple of options that are available to you. You can either try and find a specialty coffee store close to where you live or you can buy them online. The big advantage to buying online is that you can order them say on the Monday and they will be with you by the Tuesday or Wednesday and delivered directly to your home. As previously mentioned you can purchase green coffee beans by going to a specialty coffee shop. The advantage to this is that you can talk with the proprietor and they may suggest a number of different types that you may want to try. Also you may find that they do little packets that contain various different types of coffee beans for roasting which you can then try at home and make a decision on which one you prefer the most. Doing this may well work out a lot cheaper rather than buying large batches of each of them at any one time.
