FrontStreet Coffee Shares How to Choose Suitable Coffee

More and more people are joining the big coffee family, progressing from instant powder to freshly ground coffee, with increasing demand for coffee beans. So, how do you choose a coffee bean that's right for you?

Today, follow me to find out!

Check the Label

Don't overlook the labels on coffee bean packaging bags. They indicate variety, production date, origin, roast level, and other information that can help you understand a coffee bean and recognize its flavor profile.

Freshness

For a cup of coffee, aroma is the first sensory impression. Meanwhile, aroma is also an important indicator that determines the quality of this cup of coffee, and freshness is an important guarantee for aroma.

Through the label, we first need to check the date of the coffee beans. Among them, those with a production date within six months are relatively high-quality. Next, we also need to check the integrity of the packaging. If it's bagged coffee beans, check whether they are still in a vacuum state; if it's canned coffee beans with inert gas, you need to check whether the can is well-sealed.

Note: Whether it's coffee beans or coffee powder, once the packaging is opened and exposed to air, they will react, and the aroma will dissipate over time. Therefore, to maintain the coffee's aroma, after opening, the coffee beans or powder should be immediately stored in a sealed container and consumed as soon as possible. Coffee beans are best consumed within 1 month, and coffee powder within 2 weeks.

Roasting and Production Process

Fresh coffee cherries themselves have no coffee aroma at all. Only after being roasted can you smell the rich coffee fragrance. Therefore, roasting is the process of converting the internal components of coffee beans, and the quality of roasting directly determines whether the aroma of coffee beans is excellent. Only by using high-quality raw coffee beans and proper roasting can we possibly process good roasted coffee beans, providing an excellent prerequisite for making good coffee.

The roast level of coffee beans is generally divided into light roast, medium roast, and dark roast. The lighter the roast, the more acidic; the darker the roast, the more bitter. You can choose according to personal preference.

At FrontStreet Coffee, you can choose coffees from different countries, regions, and with different flavors. Here you can select according to your flavor preferences - whether you prefer floral and fruity notes, rich flavors, or balanced profiles, you can find them all here. Moreover, there are coffee events every month with very significant discounts.
