Supermarket Coffee vs. Specialty Store Coffee

  „The other bean that makes up the small difference (about 8%) in this country's coffee consumption is called Coffea Arabica. It is the variety sold as whole beans in all specialty coffee stores and is the bean of choice for coffee connoisseurs as well as beginning coffee lovers.“

  „Did you know that the average coffee tree only produces one pound of finished coffee per year? With all the coffee beans that we consume, we should be conscious of the lives of the farmers that produce this pleasure-giving crop. Unfortunately, their lives are not anywhere near the western standard to which we've grown accustomed.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „Finally, we arrive at the only flat-out loser in the cupping. Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee suggests specialty with its whole beans and valve pack, but the generic nature of the blend, the package presentation, and, above all, the wretched quality, all say commercial. In fact, this coffee is sub-commercial, since the well-trained professionals at the large commercial roasters would never foist off a coffee as wildly fermented as this one on their customers. There was even a small stone in the bag I bought, a treacherous oversight that could wreck someone's burr grinder.“

It's All About Coffee

  „When you walk into a specialty coffee shop, a coffeehouse that sells coffee beans -- or even a grocery store with a wide variety of whole-bean coffees -- you'll probably spot an enticing display of coffee beans. Usually, they'll range in color from light to dark brown, with names like French roast, Ethiopian, espresso roast, and even designations such as "house blend" and "Christmas blend." Knowing a little bit about the origins of coffee beans and how they're harvested, roasted, and named can help you choose the bean that's right for your cup.“
