From Bean to Cup
Have you ever wondered why the coffee you get in a good coffee shop always tastes better than the stuff you make at home? Somehow the coffee from the coffee shop always seems that little bit fresher and it has a quality that you can’t quite put your finger on. What is it, do you think, that gives it this edge?
Well, you might be surprised to learn that there are no “secret ingredients” or anything like that put into the brew by the good coffee shops. Actually, it comes down to nothing more than the fact that they generally make the coffee using bean-to-cup coffee makers. So the beans are actually being freshly ground for each new cup of coffee that gets made.
This gives the drink a freshness and a “zing” that you can’t really get any other way. There is something about a freshly ground bean that gives a cup of coffee a truly unique quality. Compare this to a cup from a pot that has been sitting on a hotplate for 15 minutes or more, made from ground coffee, and you will immediately taste the difference!
There’s no contest, the coffee from the bean to cup coffee machine wins hands down every time. Not only does it taste fresher, but you know that there are absolutely no additives because you can see that the coffee is coming straight from the bean.
Until recently you could only buy commercial bean to cup coffee makers, i.e. industrial strength machines, that cost a small fortune. But these days, smaller versions are available for the home. So if you really enjoy good, fresh coffee made from newly ground beans and you want to match the coffee shop experience, get yourself a bean to cup brewer for your home. And go to a specialist coffee supplier so you can choose from a wide selection of beans. If you are a true coffee lover, you certainly won’t regret it.
