A Question About Good Coffee?
Last year I went to Guatemala and since returning I have been haunted by the coffee I had in one particular cafe. It was an average cafe by any standards but the coffee served was excellent. Since returning I have tried many different beans whether from a supermarket or Starbucks etc, none of them come even close to how good it was. So the other day I ordered some gourmet Guatemalan coffee from here: http://www.hasbean.co.uk/ (I live in the UK)
the bean I ordered was in the top 10 coffees of Guatemala and is freshly roasted the day before sending. Although it was the closet yet, it still wasn’t in the same ball park. I use a French press to brew the coffee, so you experts out there…is it the way I make the coffee or the bean I use, what am I doing wrong?
It’s probably the beans. There are many different farms/co-ops in Guatemala. But I’m sure if you keep trying different coffees you’ll find one you like. I also think that it’s very important to have freshly roasted coffee. The taste differences in a coffee roasted yesterday and one roasted 2 days ago is actually really big, so that could also have something to do with it.
