  • Hawaiian Kona — grown on the slopes of Hualalai in the Kona District on the Big Island of Hawaii. Dark roast Kona coffee is full-bodied with notes of wood and dark chocolate.
  • Jamaican Blue Mountain — From the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica. Due to its popularity, it fetches a high price in the market.
  • Java — from the island of Java, in Indonesia. This coffee was once so widely traded that “java” became a slang term for coffee

Growing Coffee

The gourmet beans gain much of their flavor from the soils they grow in. The best beans come from the volcanic regions with rich soils producing the best-tasting beans.  Coffee should always be made from fresh beans as the quality diminishes rapidly with age.

The age of the beans is more noticeable when comparing a supermarket-grade coffee with a coffee shop brew made with freshly ground beans. Bear in mind supermarket coffees generally has a lower blend quality.  And in some cases, the blends also have a mix of older and newer beans to reduce production costs. Despite those trends, more good-tasting coffee brands are for sale in local grocery stores.

Taste to Find Your Favorite

The only way to be sure of the quality and taste is to buy fresh gourmet quality coffee for yourself. Once you have acquired the taste for gourmet coffee you might never want to drink commercial-grade coffee again. You can buy coffee from many different regions throughout the world, and each one has its own unique flavor. One of the advantages of the internet today is the ability to find products, like gourmet coffee, you can’t shop for in your hometown.

Coffee aficionados pick the region where the coffee bean grows just by tasting it. The method of processing the beans also affects the final flavor so you can’t always assume that coffee will be good just because it came from a particular region. And, one of the advantages of the internet today is the ability to find products, like gourmet coffee, you can’t shop for in your home town.

How You Brew

Finally, one of the most important facts about coffee is the best coffee gets ruined by a bad coffee machine. Plus things like hard water can make your machine not work as well. And, will also affect the coffee flavor. If you want quality coffee, then you need a SCAA certified coffee maker.
