Looking at the range of coffee beans, it's easy to tell what makes dark roast coffee taste different from light roast coffee. Farther along that scale, specifically when medium roasts start to turn dark, it's more difficult for the average coffee consumer to note the disparity between two similar roasts. Although they're only a few degrees apart, there is a subtle way to tell continental and high roast coffee apart. https://lnkd.in/emUduB23

What makes a great cup of coffee?? How we roast our coffee beans Coffee beans are a the key to great coffee. The most important component to making coffee is the coffee grounds that you will brew. Green coffee beans are roasted to develop flavor. During roasting, our coffee beans will make a cracking sound as they transition from green coffee to light roast coffee. The beans will crack again as they transition from medium roast to dark roast. Medium roast is sweeter. Dark roast develops spicy flavors, and french roast takes on a smoky flavor.

CloudSplitter Coffee is specialty coffee, which is simply a description of the high quality of the raw coffee beans. Nearly all big coffee companies serve commercial grade, which is machine harvested, meaning you’re getting coffee beans that are mostly ripe, mixed with beans that are over or under ripe. The under-ripe beans create a sour taste, so to mask this, the roaster over roasts the coffee beans. I can think of a coffee brand with a green logo that people always complain about tasting burnt…well now you know why. Specialty coffee is hand picked and hand sorted when it’s perfect and can be roasted in ways that bring out the characteristics of the region and bean. Coffee is made three times…when it was harvested, when it was roasted, and when it was brewed. CloudSplitter Coffee takes care of the first two steps for you. Cheers! #cloudsplittercoffee #veteranowned #coffee

Tip of the Day: Grinding Coffee Beans Only When You're Going to Make Coffee For the freshest and most flavorful cup of coffee, it's best to grind your beans just before brewing. Coffee grounds lose their freshness and aroma quickly when exposed to air. To ensure a consistent grind size, which directly impacts the extraction and flavor profile of your coffee, invest in a good-quality burr grinder. It's important to note that coffees found in grocery stores and coffee shop shelves are often previously frozen and roasted months before landing on the shelves. This means that the coffee is not at its peak flavor and can result in a bitter taste profile. At Novel Grounds Coffee Company, we understand the importance of freshness. That's why we only roast our beans upon order. This ensures that our customers receive the freshest quality coffee, delivering a truly exceptional flavor experience with every sip.

We simplified a general roast curve to give some insight into the time and temperature needed to roast great coffee. Green, unroasted coffee goes into our roasters and around the 6-minute and 341 ℉ mark, it starts to change color. The first crack happens around 9-minute and 400℉ and where our balanced and interesting roasts take off. Keep on roasting and you will have a pile of bean ash and probably a fire. Not good. We offer a broad range of roast profiles on our menu to suit different tastes. Lighter roast profiles tend to emphasize the unique characteristics of the coffee, while darker roasts tend to highlight the roast character. Each coffee has a specific roast-level target that we evaluate using an Agtron light reflectometer. The Agtron bounces ultraviolet light off a sample of coffee and back to a sensor to analyze the color of ground or whole-bean coffee. It then gives the sample a number representing the degree of roast. The lower the number, the darker the roast. For example, our darkest roast, Forty-Six has an Agtron score of 52 while our single-origin roasts are 77-80. Learn more about coffee roasting: https://buff.ly/3InYy6k

So you're a coffee drinker, but have you really begun your coffee journey? Specialty coffee and home brewing guides can be overwhelming, making the entire process seem impossible. Let’s get back to the basics: The average consumer needs to think about three things: Brewing style, coffee roast level, and flavor profile. 1. Brewing Methods ? Brewing can and will alter the overall taste of your coffee, so experimenting with different types is an important first step. Some popular methods include: Aeropress: Low cost, quick, and produces a clean cup in under 2 minutes. French Press: Offers a rich, full-bodied flavor. Pour-Over: Provides great control and can highlight subtle flavors. 2. Roast Levels ?? The coffee bean itself will have the greatest effect on your coffee's flavor. Here's a breakdown of roast levels: Light Roasts: More acidity and fruity notes. Medium Roasts: Balanced and sweet, perfect for most coffee drinkers. Dark Roasts: Bold and smoky, but can be tricky to avoid a "burnt" flavor. 3. Flavor Profiles ???? Your ideal cup of coffee is subjective and depends on your preferred flavor profile. This can be affected by both brewing styles and roast levels, so experiment with one factor at a time to find your perfect cup. Key Tip The most important part of flavorful coffee is buying high quality, specialty-grade beans. Coffee should have intricate and delicious flavors with sweet undertones. Buy from local coffee roasters who expertly roast their beans to highlight the best characteristics of their coffee. So get out there and start brewing!

What’s the Difference Between Instant Coffee and Regular Coffee? Hey coffee lovers! ?? Let’s dive into the world of coffee and explore the key differences between instant coffee and regular coffee. 1. Preparation: Instant Coffee: Just add hot water! Instant coffee dissolves quickly, making it super convenient. Regular Coffee: Brewed from ground coffee beans using methods like drip, French press, or espresso machines. Takes a bit more time and effort. 2. Flavor: Instant Coffee: Often milder and less complex in flavor. Regular Coffee: Richer and more robust, with a wide range of flavor profiles depending on the beans and brewing method. 3. Freshness: Instant Coffee: Processed and packaged, it has a longer shelf life but may lack the fresh taste. Regular Coffee: Brewed fresh from ground beans, offering a more aromatic and flavorful cup. 4. Convenience: Instant Coffee: Perfect for busy mornings or when you’re on-the-go. Regular Coffee: Ideal for those who enjoy the ritual of brewing and savoring a fresh cup. Which one do you prefer? Share your thoughts below

I love my coffee. And JUST COFFEE, by the way. Yes, I come from a simpler time. A time when coffee was just…coffee. It was black and strong and had been sitting on the warmer so long that it had burnt down and congealed into a slowly moving semi-solid that oozed rather than poured into your Styrofoam cup. Yes, Styrofoam, that toxic man-made compound that, when exposed to heated substances like, say, coffee, leached into them with its cancerous toxicity. Nowadays, I can’t get “just coffee” without getting a raised eyebrow from the barista at the local coffee shop. They can’t fathom how anyone could just want plain coffee, not some contrived, concocted caffeinated beverage with more ingredients than jambalaya. Beverages they created simply to justify their existence and employability by the Corporate Coffee Cabal. They always greet me with, “What can I get started for you? Would you like to try our new frozen double espresso mochachialatte?” “Nah, just a regular coffee,” I’d say. Long pause, followed by nervous glance at the other Starbucks employees. “Nothing in that? Shot of syrup?” “Nope, just regular black coffee.” “You want room for cream?” “Just fill it up.” My buddy Kevin who is very into coffee and all things coffee can’t understand my cavalier attitude towards coffee. How I can possibly drink those Folgers tea-bag-type individual coffee servings you dunk into hot water in the morning? How can I drink that crap? “You mean you don’t have Hawaiian Koana Northslope Gold brewing in the $200 dollar Meisterdrip Brewing system, imported from Austria?” “No, pal, I just want a goddam cup-a-joe!” #CoffeeLover #JustCoffee #BlackCoffee #CoffeeCulture #OldSchoolCoffee #CoffeeLife #SimplePleasures #CoffeeTalk #CoffeeAddict
