Buying Coffee

We all love drinking it, but when it comes to buying coffee, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all the options. Especially when you're buying beans at a grocery or specialty store. Personally, I love buying coffee, taking it home and drinking it right away. It's a fun surprise finding out what it tastes like.

But I'll admit buying coffee can get confusing. I recently found this article, written by Eric Smith, that addresses this very problem. It's a short read but full of good information.

And if you're wondering how much money you can save by brewing your own coffee, you should check out this post I wrote the other day. Read it here.

Buying Coffee

By Eric Smith

Choosing from the more than thirty types of coffee in my local store always causes a sense of stress and confusion. Among these choices are vanilla, light, dark, robust and more. With all the choices available, one needs a handbook to understand the choices that are available on the market and which one is just right for the needs of the customer.

It is not as complicated as it seems to be since all information printed on a coffee package refers to the level that the coffee bean was roasted, the place of origin of the beans before being roasted, type of blend and finally the flavoring that was added to each bean before it was roasted. Most people enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning for breakfast to start their day off. But many people drink coffee at each meal and all day long. Folgers coffee is an excellent brand. It is one of my favorites. It has a strong robust flavor and can be purchased at your local grocery store. We often drink Folgers more then any other coffee. Maxwell House is an outstanding brand of coffee also. It is similar to Folgers in taste with a solid robust flavor. Also a smart choice.

You get what you pay for, if you go to the local grocery store to get coffee beans, most likely they are not going to be very fresh. The better way to get high quality coffee would be a specialty shop or market. Coffee is not a grocery store's top priority; so it won't be as fresh as the specialty store. Another good idea is to store your beans in an air-tight package, in a dark cool place and at 50-70 degrees Fahrenheit.
