Supermarket Coffee vs. Specialty Store Coffee

Supermarket Coffee vs. Specialty Store Coffee ()

  „Before I was an arabica whole bean convert, I once considered if these beans were worth the vast difference in price, which is as much as $3.00 to $7.00 more per pound than canned supermarket varieties. Surely the cost difference alone is enough to make one seriously reconsider any compelling reasons to switch to whole bean coffee. If you are a coffee lover, as I am, who savours the whole coffee making and drinking experience, then the answer is a resounding yes!“

  „It is a significantly larger arabica bean named for the region and its rainy season which contributes to the beans' higher moisture content. To create a "monsooned" crop, the green coffee is warehoused in an open structure protected from rain while moist tropical air blows through the storage area. In a 2 to 3 month period, the beans absorb moisture, losing a degree of natural acidity and at roast time, a richer yet mellower beverage results.“

  „For all Canadian "coffee nuts", I would like to know if anyone is using coffee beans from SECOND CUP coffee store? I use an Arabica bean that they have called "PARADISO" (black & brown beans), and I find it quite good. It seems to be the right amount of caffeine for me.“

  „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.“

  „Obviously its better if you buy from your local specialty roaster- they can sell small volumes direct to you in whole bean (or if you request) ground form. Its always better to buy the whole beans and invest in a grinder so you can grind beans as you need them. Ground coffee can deteriorate at a pretty quick clip...“
