Rise and shine to that stellar scent that floats softly from the kitchen. It dances just above your nose so that youll find the strength to rise from that warm، cozy bed. Its none other than fresh coffee. Isnt it great the way new-age coffee makers have built in timers that allow them to brew at any set minute? Its ideal for the American lifestyle. By this I dont imply that were lazy، but rather enjoy convenience. Were constantly exposed to more and more forms of convenience، so its only natural. Okay، so heres the important part. Where are you purchasing your coffee beans and are they truly fresh? Many people dont even know.
If you havent noticed، big store names like Folders and Maxwell House have taken a beating lately. The notion of fresh coffee is in their face and they dont have much to say on the topic. After all، their coffee is ground and compressed in a can or bag. Who knows how long it sits in there before its actually used in a drip pot! It could be months or even years. That is NOT fresh coffee. Heck، its not even close. This coffee should have been tossed out long ago. Although many avid java drinkers dont know it، coffee has a life span once you roast it. Have you ever actually smelled freshly roasted coffee beans? The aroma is incomparable. The trick is to find quality beans that have recently been roasted. Its preferred to purchase beans that were roasted and bagged a mere day or two ago. This way youll have about ten days to consume them. Youll get that outstanding fresh coffee you deserve. You dont even have to buy them ground anymore. In all honesty، you shouldnt. Purchase your fresh coffee whole. Then only grind the portion youre using at the time. This makes for a phenomenal cup of coffee. The smell alone will send your senses flying.
I turn to the local coffee house for fresh coffee beans. This place in particular is great because they have beans roasted and shipped in weekly. The date they were roasted and bagged is written on them. Try to find this at Starbucks! God knows how old their coffee beans are. I couldnt even begin to guess. If you do not have a local shop that supplies fresh coffee، you can always turn to the web for plenty of options.
