What’s The Different Between Gourmet Coffee And Your Average Coffee?

 

Coffee lovers like to debate about what makes a good cup of coffee. There are many factors that go into creating a great cup of coffee. The type of beans, the roasting and grinding process, and how it is brewed are all important.

At Gold Star Coffee Inc., we only offer the best gourmet coffee brands to our customers. We believe that good coffee doesn’t have to cost a fortune and neither should our customers have to pay for low-quality ingredients.

The type of bean used for gourmet coffee:

Gourmet Coffee is usually made from Arabica beans, which produce a richer brew with a fuller body and more aroma. Coffees made with Robusta beans are cheaper because they grow faster and are easier to produce, but they don't have the same flavor or aroma as Arabica coffee does.Some companies will mix both types of coffee beans, but to create a truly gourmet coffee experience, you should only use 100% Arabica beans.

Gourmet coffee makers focus on flavor, not caffeine content:

While it’s true that Robusta beans have more caffeine than those made from Arabica beans, that isn’t necessarily a good thing. Arabica beans are higher in lipids and sugar, which makes them taste much sweeter than the Robusta beans, which are much more bitter.

Gourmet coffee can be a great way to reduce your environmental impact:

Robusta beans aren't as environmentally friendly as Arabica. Unlike Arabica, which can be cultivated organically, Robusta is typically grown using monoculture, a process involving the clear-cutting of forests for more crops, which can damage the soil and make it unusable for future harvests.

At Gold Star Coffee Inc, we offer only the finest gourmet coffee from Ecuador, made from 100% Arabica beans. Our customers can be assured that they’re getting the highest quality blends available, with the assurance that their purchase helps foster sustainable farming practices.
