What is the best, most delicious coffee in the world?

It’s worth figuring out what criteria to consider when purchasing and studying the list of trusted brands. Thanks to this, you will be able to purchase quality products.

How to choose the right coffee

By following a number of tips for choosing coffee products, you will be able to make a successful purchase. Attention is paid to the following points:

package. No defects are allowed. The coffee must be sealed airtight. In addition, the manufacturer is obliged to indicate comprehensive information about the product on the packaging;
best before date. There are no difficulties with the soluble version. You just need to make sure it hasn't expired. When purchasing natural beans, you also need to take into account the date of roasting and grinding. The less time has passed from this moment, the tastier and more aromatic the drink will be;
manufacturer . Preference is given to proven brands.

When purchasing a soluble product, attention is paid to granules. Ideally they should be the same size. You should not buy excessively dark ones. Most likely, they are overcooked, and the drink will be bitter and have an unpleasant burnt aroma.

When choosing whole beans, large grains are preferred. The presence of stains and all kinds of defects is unacceptable. In addition, to choose good coffee, take into account the country where the coffee fruit is grown. Depending on where the plantations are located, the taste of the drink will differ significantly:

Brazilian. They are distinguished by their strength, pleasant tart taste with a nutty undertone;
Colombian Characterized by the presence of unobtrusive sourness, velvety, balanced taste;
Costa Rican . A drink based on such grains has a pleasant dense aroma;
Guatemalan. They are distinguished by the presence of a taste of flowers and spices;
Indian . Characterized by increased strength. The drink has strong notes of chocolate;
Kenyan. The varieties are distinguished by high acidity and a fascinating berry aftertaste;
Ethiopian. The beans are characterized by a pleasant berry flavor and maximum strength.

There are two main varieties of beans – Arabica and Robusta

The first type produces relatively weak coffee with pronounced sourness. To reduce the acidity level and make the drink more rich, blends are created based on Arabica and Robusta. The taste and aroma qualities of the product directly depend on the percentage of these varieties in blends. The more robusta it contains, the worse the characteristics of the resulting drink.

Which coffee to choose

When choosing coffee products, it is extremely important to consider how the drink will be brewed. Only taking this criterion into account will you be able to make a successful purchase.

For coffee machine

Choosing coffee for a coffee shop or brewing in a coffee machine at home is not difficult. If the unit is equipped with a coffee grinder, preference is given to whole beans. In this case, you should take into account the degree of roasting. The longer the beans are subjected to heat treatment, the stronger the drink based on them will be.

If the coffee machine does not have a bean grinding function, the choice is made with natural coffee powder.

Typically an espresso blend is used. Thanks to its use, it is possible to obtain a drink that is as similar as possible to the one served in Italian cafes.

For Turks

When brewing grains in a cezve, it is better to choose grains that are literally crushed into powder. Thanks to this, you will be able to get a rich, aromatic drink. It is also possible to purchase a grain version. True, achieving such a fine degree of grinding at home is problematic.

What coffee beans would you choose or recommend?

Take the survey

Which coffee is better to drink?

Natural coffee is considered the best. When choosing coffee products, it is recommended to purchase this option. It is not only tastier than instant, but also healthier. The main thing is to observe moderation. Consume no more than three servings per day.

It is also worth considering the caffeine concentration. You should choose beans that are medium roasted. The drink based on them turns out to be relatively weak. In addition, the alkaloid content is affected by the duration of extraction. The less water comes into contact with coffee powder, the less natural stimulant will be in the finished drink.

Coffee lovers often find it difficult to choose coffee products. Its range is incredibly large. True, coping with this task is not as difficult as it initially seems. All you have to do is study the ratings of reputable brands and follow a number of recommendations.

Tips for choosing

When choosing coffee, pay attention to several basic nuances:

Knowledge about coffee varieties. Of all the varieties, Arabica and Robusta are the most common. Arabica is a less strong drink, the taste has a very characteristic sourness. Robusta is an invigorating drink, as the grain contains more caffeine. The taste is different from Arabica - it has a bitter taste.
It is recommended to purchase coffee not in a supermarket, but in a specialty store or coffee shop. Experts will advise you on the appropriate variety that will ideally satisfy your wishes for the taste and structure of coffee.
If you don’t have much time, but you want coffee, and the same as in a coffee shop, then freeze-dried coffee will come to your aid. An excellent compromise between real coffee and instant coffee. Brewing freeze-dried coffee is as easy as shelling pears – just pour boiling water over it. Freeze-dried coffee is more expensive than instant coffee, but the taste characteristics are brighter.

Is instant coffee harmful or is it beneficial?

The product is available in three types:

Powdered is the cheapest and least quality. To make it, grains are ground, placed in a vacuum and drops of liquid are passed through them. They instantly fall out and become powder.
Granulated goes through another stage of preparation - the powder is moistened again and granules are formed from it
Freeze-dried instant coffee is made by freezing the dust obtained from ground beans along with water. Then a special technique draws out the moisture from them, after which dry tiles are formed. They are ground again and grains are obtained, which reach several millimeters in size. The advantage of this method is the ability to preserve the taste and aroma of real natural grains.

Despite the difference in taste, all types and varieties of coffee have the same effect on the human body.

Advantages:

The diuretic properties of the drink allow you to remove excess water from the body in the presence of edema and hypertension. It invigorates, causing a surge of energy.
Positively affects the liver, protecting it from cirrhosis
Prevents the formation of gallstones
If the consumer has a healthy stomach, drinking the drink can be beneficial because it speeds up digestion and helps digest food faster

Flaws:

It's hard to believe, but an instant product is more addictive than a natural grain product.
The nervous system suffers from it. First of all, because many people drink more than 3 cups of caffeinated drinks per day.
It increases blood pressure, so the cardiovascular system suffers from it. It contains chlorogenic acid, which can cause heart disease and even heart attack.
Excessive consumption of the drink can lead to increased anxiety and panic
Caffeine leaches calcium needed by bones from the body. Therefore, its consumption may cause joint problems
The drink irritates the stomach walls and mucous membranes. It can cause gastritis, ulcers, and hyperacidity. Therefore, you should not drink it on an empty stomach. It is best to drink a cup of drink 20-40 minutes after eating. And after another 15 minutes you need to drink a glass of water to avoid dehydration.
Various aromatic and flavoring additives, which are used to make powder and granular types to compensate for the lack of aroma, can cause allergies.

Pros and cons of instant coffee

To obtain instant coffee, aromatic and flavoring substances are extracted from natural beans. The powder is poured with hot, sometimes cold water and a drink is obtained that resembles brewed coffee in taste. Many fans of brewed ground coffee do not consider it real. For them, the most delicious coffee is made from ground beans. But a large number of people do not like the taste of natural, but they are happy to use instant.

Advantages:

Cook quickly
No need to buy additional equipment
In most varieties there is no grounds left at the bottom of the cup
Instant coffee is more expensive than ground coffee, but it is used more economically. For one cup of coffee drink you need 10 g of natural and 2 g of instant
You can buy instant coffee anywhere, in any store.
It retains its taste longer than natural, which loses its taste within 2 months after roasting.

Flaws:

Most varieties cannot compare with natural ones in terms of taste.
Poor quality grains are used for cooking.
The manufacturer may add food additives and preservatives to the product.
High acidity

The proportion of caffeine in the powder is approximately 2 p less than in ground caffeine. But this can be both a disadvantage and an advantage of the drink. This depends on the individual requirements of the consumer. Below is the rating of instant coffee.
