What makes coffee beans 'the best'?
When we talk about the best coffee beans, multiple factors play a role. It starts with taste: from fruity, floral notes to deep, chocolatey flavors. These flavors are determined by the origin of the beans and the type (Arabica or Robusta). Additionally, freshness is essential – freshly roasted coffee beans provide a more intense flavor and aroma.
Roasting also plays a role. Some brands opt for a darker roast for an intense, full flavor, while others use a lighter roast to preserve the natural notes of the beans. Finally, personal preference is an important element. What is the 'best' bean for one person might be too strong or too mild for another.
