Your Checklist For Choosing Premium Coffee Beans

First of all, it is important that you are choosing whole, fresh coffee beans before you brew. It is best to purchase coffee beans from a website where they are shipped fresh to you (like my website!), otherwise, you risk them being stale. That being said, here is what you need to know:

• Do not choose coffee beans that look broken or splintered before you purchase them.
• Purchase coffee beans that are fresh or have a roast date on the bag.
• Smell the coffee beans before purchasing, if you can, to make sure that they are flavorful and fresh.
• Start out by enjoying lightly roasted coffee to determine which coffee characteristics and regions you like the best.
• Choose flavored coffees that are made with fresh and natural flavorings.
• Store all coffee beans in an opaque, airtight container in a dry and cool place!

Dark vs. Light Roasted Coffee: Who Wins?

It's interesting to consider that commercial coffee is often mass-produced as a darker roast because it is easier for coffee producing companies. When coffee is dark roasted, it loses both good and bad flavors, so it is difficult to tell if it is a quality bean or not.

That doesn't mean that all dark roasted coffee is of a poor quality, but many commercial coffee companies will dark roast their beans if they are lower quality to mask bad flavors. On the flipside, light roasted coffee will be roasted only until the first or second crack of the beans, and the drinker will be able to taste more characteristics from the region that the coffee was grown in.

Whether you are a fan of a light or dark roasted coffee, I encourage you to try both choices and make up your mind as to which you prefer!
