The process of buying coffee was simple. It was a matter of walking down the aisle, grabbed your usual bag of beans and headed back to your house. There wasn't a lot of variation in taste, and there weren't much to think over. It was straightforward... and boring.

Specialty coffee is distinct. It is possible to purchase coffee beans from a variety of countries. Coffee can be purchased with lots of different and fresh flavor options. It is possible to purchase organic coffee direct trade, fair trade and bird-friendly light roasts arabica, washed processing, etc. It's the world at times.

Shopping for specialty coffee shouldn't be difficult or confusing. It should be a fun experience.

In this guide to coffee, we'll cover everything you need to know about coffee beans. This includes...

Why specialty is different from regular coffee?

How light, medium, as well as dark roasts are more tasty than ever before

What's the significance of coffee's genetics?

What processes affect the flavor of beans (hint: it's quite dramatic)

The coffee that comes from different countries is known to taste like

Plus much more

Here's our goal: give you all the information you need for deciding on the best beans to fit your tastes and your lifestyle.

Let's get into the most important point that explains why specialty coffee is distinct... plus better.

Always Search for flavored coffee beans that is Freshly Roasted Beans

This is an agricultural crop. They're the seeds of the cherry that is cultivated on a tree. They aren't manufactured in a warehouse somewhere.

As with all agricultural products such as coffee beans, they are best made fresh. At the point of peak freshness, some days after having dried, the sugars turn out to be sweet, the oils give off vibrant scents The acids are sharp and even, and there's low bitterness.

However, the beans start slow to decay. The sugars disappear, the oils evaporate away, the acids break down into bitter compounds, while the once crystal clear taste turns murky and unrecognizable.

This lack of flavor and freshness can diminish the enjoyment of your morning brew, making it difficult to truly appreciate your coffee and truly relish the moment.

Here's the guideline: coffee beans are only fresh after a few weeks of being roasted. Pre-ground coffee? It's only 20-30 mins of peak freshness before they begin decaying quickly.

Here's how you can tell how fresh the beans are before you decide to purchase beans:

Do not rely on "best by" dates on bags. The dates are always months in the future in which case the roaster's trying to convince you that the beans will be at peak freshness for months, not weeks (hint that they aren't).

Find "roasted on" dates. Roasters who provide dates on when their coffee has been roasted won't be afraid of giving you the facts. This is the hallmark of a honest, high-quality roaster.

THE 10 STAGES of ASTING COFFEE

Pro roasters have identified 10 roast levels that beans could (but not necessarily should) undergo. The degree to which you are able to reach will depend on your preference:

Green This means that beans preserve their original green hue while they begin to heat.

Yellow: The hue will become yellowish, and the beans emit a grassy fragrance.

Steam This is when steam rises up out of beans. This is due to the water in the beans which is evaporated.

"First Crack (Cinnamon Roast): Here's where the real roasting process begins. Sugars inside the beans caramelize and crackling sound is heard, like the sound of popcorn popping.

City Roast: Following the initial crack the beans have attained City Roast, the minimum quality roast that's acceptable for the majority of people's grinding and brewing preferences.

City Plus Roast: The further caramelization of sugars, and the influx of oils, the beans increase in size . They reach City Plus Roast. It is a popular and well-known level of roast that is widely used.

Full City Roast: Beyond the boundaries in City Plus is the Full City roast, a darker roast that pushes the beans to the brink of a second cracking.

Second Crack (Full City Plus Roast): The beans undergo the second, even more violent cracking, and then enter Full City Plus. This roast will reveal even more layers of intenseness to the taste.

Dark Roast (French Roast): The smoke will get sweet, the sugars take on as much heat as they can while not affecting the flavor of the beans, also the beans' structure will break down. This is the absolute limit of roasting within the limits of flavor.

Burn: If you're not put the roaster down by now it will smell from strong to awful, as well as the beans burning.

Where can I purchase fresh roasted coffee beans in my area?

Now that you've been taught everything that I've learned on buying specialty coffee beans, now is the time I tell you the best places to locate the beans. You have a few options.

Cafes Specialty coffee shops typically include beans from their roasting partner on sale. There is typically a limited selection and at times, they're less new as it is.

Direct from the roaster A lot of roasters have their own facilities which they offer freshly espresso from. It's a good method to increase freshness, but you're limited to the sources sourced by one roaster.

Online buying beans online is a way to access an entire world of flavours and origins for coffee that only roasters with a small amount of experience can attain. Sadly, few online stores actually sell coffee that's roasted on-demand.

So where's the best place to get both benefits of freshness and diversity?
