So what aspects should you choose?

1: Origin and processing method

Coffee from different origins has different tastes because of their different altitudes, soil environments, and rainfall. Some coffees from rare origins are more expensive. Different processing methods will also affect the taste of coffee. Washed coffee tastes sour, while sun-dried and honey-dried coffees have a more obvious sweet aftertaste. In addition, there is also anaerobic processing. Washed coffee and sun-dried coffee are more common.

2. Choose coffee beans according to the extraction method

There are many ways to extract coffee. You should choose the right coffee beans according to different extraction methods. For example, hand-brewed coffee and siphon pots mostly use single-origin coffee beans, which can better taste the flavor of the coffee itself, while espresso and mocha pots mostly use blended coffee beans. Blended coffee beans have a mellower taste and are more suitable as the basis for milk coffee.

3: Roasting degree and freshness

Generally speaking, as the degree of roasting increases, the bitterness of the coffee will become stronger. Most hand-brewed coffee is lightly or medium roasted, which can better extract the flavor of the coffee itself. Most Italian coffee is deeply roasted, which has a higher body and richer oil. The freshness here is calculated from the date after roasting. It is recommended that you pay attention to the roasting date.
