Gift for a coffeemaker: how to choose the best coffee
Coffee set is a universal present: there are few who will not like a refreshing drink with a delicious aroma. But how to find really good coffee? Four simple rules will help you cope with this task.
Secrets of choice: recommendations from the barista
Refuse to buy ground coffee. Delicious and strong infusion can be obtained only from freshly ground grains - it will retain all the necessary substances and essential oils, giving an unforgettable aftertaste to your favorite espresso or latte. Benefits in packaged or granulated coffee are also few - meanwhile, a cup of "black dessert" a day has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, helps cope with migraines and prolongs youth.
Coffee beans - an impeccable gourmet gift
Pay attention to the expiration date and conditionsstorage of the product. The date of production indicated on the pack has a value: the more it is "older", the less useful substances remain in the grains. Coffee beans in glass containers in open storefronts, under direct light and heat sources - an alarm signal: loose coffee should be stored in sealed opaque packages away from sunlight and radiators.
Improper storage conditions affect the taste and nutritional value of coffee
Carefully study the information on the package. The responsible producer indicates not only the country of origin, the species (arabica or robusta) and the percentage composition of the mixture, but also the grade (for example, strong Guatemala, Zambia with caramel notes) and even the quality of breeding (AA, A or AB).
Detailed information on the package is a guarantee of quality
Give preference to a natural product. The temptation to buy flavored coffee is great - but chemical preservatives unconditionally ruin the taste, aroma and unique composition of coffee beans.
Natural coffee is the best gift for family and friends
