The taste of coffee is directly influenced by many factors.
For example, the quality of raw materials, coffee variety, country of germination, soil characteristics, extraction time.
Bitterness, acidity and sweetness in varying proportions are present in any good coffee.
How to know what kind of coffee tastes good
A sure sign of quality coffee beans is a pleasant aroma after opening the package.
If you detect a burning smell, such a product cannot be called fresh and good coffee.
In addition, if the grain shell has defects in the form of cracks and irregularities, this indicates unsuccessful transportation of raw materials.
What should quality coffee taste like
Depending on the type of coffee, you may experience different aromas in your taste.
For example, dark chocolate, berries, tropical fruits, nuts, floral or honey notes. Some varieties have more pronounced caramel or vanilla notes.
Arabica has a very bright aroma, mild taste and often contains sourness in the finished drink.
Robusta has a characteristic bitterness and a higher caffeine content.
Why don't you get good coffee
The higher the air temperature, the faster the oxidation.
This means that coffee left in the open air catastrophically quickly turns into an oxidized, stale product.
As result, coffee turns from aromatic and fresh to unpleasant and tasteless.
It is recommended to store an open pack of coffee for no more than 1 month.
In addition, brewing affects the taste of coffee. The water temperature should be no more than 94 degrees Celsius.
