A Refined Taste
Americans have a deep love for coffee. Whether it is a cup of morning joe made at home or a beautifully crafted espresso at a trendy coffee shop, more and more Americans are developing a refined palate for coffee drinks. But if you are looking to expand your taste for coffee or if you simply prefer something a bit more refined and better than the average store brands, ordering your gourmet coffee beans online can give you the opportunity to indulge in your favorite coffee while saving you money and opening you up to exciting new flavors.
In 2018, new coffee shops are opening up across every small town and city. These shops offer handcrafted coffee experiences from talented baristas that handpick beans and flavors to make delicious creations that their guests love, but it is possible to capture that coffee house feeling right at home. With so many types of beans to choose from, it can be intimidating to make a selection. So, how do you know which gourmet coffee beans are right for you?
One piece of advice for those looking to purchase coffee beans to make at home is to start with something easy. Koffee Kult offers light, medium, and dark roasts to offer something handcrafted and a familiar coffee experience.
Light roasts are, as their name suggests, the lightest in color of the three roasts and their taste is closer to that of unroasted coffee beans compared to the others. Because they spend the least time roasting, they have a present and pleasing acidity and often have the highest level of caffeine compared to others.
Medium roasts are roasted more thoroughly than light roasts and the coffee beans start to develop a more full-bodied flavor. Medium roasts are a great choice for the new coffee connoisseur as they are a great way to learn which flavors you prefer and how you wish to expand your palate.
Dark roasts are the richest and boldest coffees and they often have the least caffeine. Dark roasts are favored in Europe and the West Coast, while East Coast Americans seem to have an affinity for light roasts.
The other important factor in determining a coffee’s flavor is the origin of the beans. Central American coffees are noted for their fruit-like notes and great flavors. South American coffee, such as Colombian coffee, is especially popular in the United States. Other regions such as Kenya, Sumatra, and Indonesia are among the finest coffee producers. By experimenting and not being afraid to take risks, you can discover these flavors for yourself and see what kind of flavor profiles you prefer. You can try different brewing methods as well, from French press to cold brewing at home and note the distinct differences in flavor and body that these methods create.
At Koffee Kult, our years of coffee roasting experience make us a great partner to find the perfect coffee for you. We offer coffees from all the major coffee-producing regions and we strive to find the very best flavors and beans we can. We are happy to help with any step of the process, including how to brew our coffees and the best way to get the most from your subscription with us.
