What’s the best coffee brand in the world? It’s hard to say simply because there are so many great flavors out there. Most people have varying ideas about what constitutes the best coffee. Simply choosing coffees made by a fair trade coffee company is not enough.
Several coffees have grown to be quite popular among aficionados because of their unique features. In the end, the decision of what counts as the best coffee will boil down to preferences of each individual. Some of the common characteristics used to judge coffee include;
- Body: When people talk about the body of a coffee, they are referring to the way that the coffee feels in your mouth. It’s typically a combination of the thickness and oiliness of the coffee. For instance, coffee originating from a fair trade coffee company in Ethiopia is considered to be full-bodied because it feels thick and heavy while coffee from Central America is described as light because of the thinner feel. A good way of appreciating the difference between different body types is to add milk. Full bodied coffee is able to maintain its flavor better when milk has been added.
- Acidity: The acidity level of coffee affects the way it tastes. Lightly roasted coffee beans tend to have the highest acid content while the darker roasts have lower acid levels. Coffee with low acidity levels tastes flat or bland with sweeter undertones while coffee with high acidity tastes bright and sharp (almost metallic). Medium coffee roasts offer a welcomed balance between high and low coffee levels and are considered by many to be the preferred standard.
- Aroma: When coffee beans are roasted, they release oils which are responsible for the famous coffee aroma that the world has come to love. The method behind their production will affect their overall quality and taste. High quality beans with good aromas tend to appear shiny because of the oil content within them. Inferior beans have weaker aromas caused by the way they have been roasted or stored.
- Flavor: When it comes to flavor, the coffee blend is an important favor. Like the name suggests, coffee blends involve a mixture of different bean types which have sourced from different regions. For instance, you might find blends containing a mixture of high quality Central American Arabica beans and touch of beans originating from an African fair trade coffee company. You’ll also find special coffee blends that have flavoring added to them. Popular options include butter scotch, hazelnut, Irish cream and vanilla. It is important to note that the way coffee beans are blended can affect the body, acidity and aroma of the final coffee.
