Usually, a ripe coffee berry consists of two grains that face each other with their flat sides. But sometimes, flowers are pollinated incorrectly, which causes mutations.

Coffee beans: what is important to know

To prepare a drink correctly, it is not enough to know how to use a coffee machine or a Turk; it is important to know how the type of grind and degree of roasting affect the taste.


Grinding type

Coffee grinding affects the taste of coffee quite seriously. Each coffee drink should have its own grinding degree. It is this that characterizes how strong, sour and sweet the coffee will be. A competent combination of these characteristics will allow you to make the perfect coffee.

It is important to understand that during the preparation of coffee by any method, the so-called extraction occurs. That is, the taste and aroma pass from the ground coffee directly into the water. If the grind is fine, then it will take less time to brew than if the coffee particles are large.


Moreover, the extraction must last for a certain amount of time. After all, at first, essential oils and acids are released from the coffee, which give the drink its characteristic sourness. And only then sugars, which give the cup of coffee a fruity aroma and sweetness. At the end, as a result of the extraction, tannin and caffeine are released, due to which the taste becomes somewhat bitter.


If you extract too quickly, the coffee will have a weak and sour taste. Long extraction will make the drink too bitter.


Of course, it is better to buy coffee beans, as it is important to prepare it immediately before brewing. Of course, manufacturers have taken care that people do not waste time using a coffee grinder, so they have made the necessary degree of grinding. But you should understand that if you grind coffee in advance, it may lose its taste and aromatic properties during storage.


Bean coffee has an advantage over ground coffee: it retains its qualities much better and does not go stale for almost two months.


Roasting degree

Roasting of coffee beans is carried out in roasters. These are special machines that resemble drums. They have heating and blowing. The beans are roasted, as a rule, at a temperature of slightly more than two hundred degrees for ten minutes. 


There are three degrees of roasting:


Taste and aroma


For those who prefer a sour taste, you should choose light roasted coffee beans. Those who like a bitter taste will prefer a dark roast with a rich bitterness. The best way to get the right taste and aroma is to try different coffees.


Bitterness can be moderate or quite pronounced. It depends on the caffeine content of the drink, as well as on the degree of roasting of the beans. It is the bitter taste that makes the drink rich, with a deep taste.


Acidity gives the drink brightness and freshness. Acidity can be berry, citrus, or fruity. The taste also has a sweet component, which makes the taste balanced and harmonious. This can be either dried fruit sweetness or caramel sweetness.
