Shopping for coffee should be a fun experience, but often understanding how to choose coffee beans can make it feel overly complicated. Should you go for a coffee blend or a single origin coffee<\/a>? Should you select a light roast or a dark roast? Do you prefer your cup to taste of chocolate or of citrus? Would you prefer whole beans or grounds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may help to simplify in the following way. Stop looking for the best coffee and focus on what you actually want it. Believe it or not, you don’t need to stress about coffee farming conditions or the altitude of the beans every time you buy a bag. In the end, you can get away with knowing a few key details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with The Roast Level when Choosing Coffee Beans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want the shortest route to a coffee you will actually enjoy, begin with the roast level. Industry research points strongly in this direction. The Speciality Coffee Association has reported that many consumers are more likely to buy coffee<\/a> when the roast level is clearly stated, and that roast level accounts for some of the biggest flavour differences in brewed filter coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That makes sense when you taste the cup. Roast level changes sweetness, acidity, bitterness, body and the way flavour notes come across. Even the same origin can taste very different when roasted lightly rather than darkly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
