Next Saturday, October 1, International Coffee Day is celebrated, and what better way to celebrate it with an excellent cup of coffee
A good coffee it is always the one that maintains adequate standards, without flaws in flavor, such as a balanced level of bitterness or acidity.
We have a good example with the well-known expresso that when they are of good quality and their service is perfect, they do not need to be sweetened or camouflaged with dairy.
The main keys to enjoying a good coffee are: the origin of the coffee, the way it is grown, its benefit process, roasting, packaging, water, grinding, machine maintenance and barista techniques. , among other.
To identify a quality coffee both inside and outside the home, SUPRACAFÉ, a high-quality 100% Arabica brand, recommends taking into account a series of coffee qualities:
- Color: the roast of the coffee influences its color, the lower the roast level the lighter its color will be, while if the roast level is higher the color of the coffee will be almost black. Therefore, SUPRACAFÉ recommends a medium degree of toasting without being soggy or burnt, thus allowing you to fully enjoy its flavor and aromas.
- Aroma: By the aroma it is possible to recognize if a coffee is of high or low quality. In coffee there are a multitude of aromas, some more pleasant than others. The most pleasant aromas of a good coffee, in general terms, are usually floral, fruit, quality nuts, chocolates, caramel, berries, etc. The aromas that are not so appreciated in good quality coffees are aromas of wood, earth, coal, rubber, gum, straw, ash, etc.
- Taste: flavor is essential when it comes to identifying whether a coffee is good. Generally speaking, coffee is considered to be bitter, but in reality the opposite is true. A good coffee must have a balance and, among its main flavors, must be balanced acidity and sweetness.
- Roast date and origin: Another of the qualities that a good coffee must offer is the roast date and origin. SUPRACAFÉ provides both the expiration date and the roast date so that coffee lovers know the degree of freshness of their coffee, as well as its origin. SUPRACAFÉ brings together more than ten origins to enjoy coffee in all its nuances.
- Cup Type: Although it may not seem like it, the type of cup influences the enjoyment of our coffee. The ideal for espresso or cappuccino is the conical mug since the drink slides down its walls and when it falls it forms a uniform hazelnut-colored cream.
Having a coffee in a ritual, many times we forget that this pleasure that in turn provides food and above all activity, needs minimal care to be optimally prepared.
We all remember a hospitality establishment that served those coffees that appreciate any brew but never that espresso that would make any customer repeat.
Brands and producers take more and more care of the product and the excellent, robust, arabic and other varieties are treated with respect throughout the value chain, and that is why on this very important day we invite you to have a good coffee, especially that guarantees origin, quality, and above all flavor and aroma.
To all those who for any reason are close to making and tasting a good cup of coffee, these tips are sure to help them improve their techniques and processes to achieve a perfect cup.
