Once you have tasted real coffee, compared with average supermarket coffee, you will understand why coffee lovers go to great lengths to find the ultimate tasting coffee. Although supermarkets stock a vast variety of tasty coffee brands, there is nothing like the aroma and taste of freshly ground coffee beans.

Every coffee bean differs in flavour and strength depending on where the bean is grown. Beans grown in different soils and climates will have a completely different taste.

It is said, that the finest coffee beans come from Indonesia, where both the soil and climate, is perfect for providing one of the best blends in the world.

A fresh cup of freshly roasted and ground coffee beans is far superior to your everyday instant coffee and experts say you can never go wrong with a cup of freshly ground coffee – in fact the fresher the better!

Supermarkets generally stock only a small amount of coffee beans so a trip to your local gourmet store may be required. Gourmet stores will stock a wide variety of beans, and experienced staff can advise you on the different tastes and strengths. Nowadays many stores offer a ‘try before you buy’ which is essential if you are trying to find the perfect blend.

When purchasing coffee beans ensure none are splintered or broken, and never buy more than a week’s worth in advance as coffee beans need to be as fresh as possible.

There are many online stores that offer a ‘next day’ delivery service ensuring you receive fresh beans and local gourmet stores will stock a wide range of fresh beans where you can choose the beans yourself.

Drinking coffee, whether for pleasure or as a quick ‘pick me up’, is enjoyed all around the world and has been for many years. A unique tasting drink, loved by some and hated by others, coffee comes in numerous variations and will continue to be enjoyed for many years to come.
