How to Choose the Best Whole Bean Coffee?
Choose a coffee that suits your personal taste, whether it’s smooth and fruity or intense and robust. Also, make sure it’s fresh and of high quality.
Why is Whole Bean Coffee Better Than Ground Coffee?
Whole bean coffee retains its flavor and freshness much better than ground coffee. Grinding it just before brewing ensures you enjoy a more aromatic and flavorful cup.
How Should Whole Bean Coffee Be Ground?
The grind depends on the brewing method you use. For espresso, a fine grind; for drip coffee makers, a medium grind; and for French press, a coarse grind.
At Cafés Granell, our ground coffees have a medium-fine grind, ideal for most coffee makers. However, if you prefer a specific grind for your brewing method, you can mention it in the comments of your order, and we will adjust it to ensure the best experience in every cup.
What is the Difference Between Natural Whole Bean Coffee and Blended Coffee?
Natural Whole Bean Coffee: It is obtained through a roasting process without adding sugar, preserving its original flavor.
Blended Coffee: The beans are roasted with a percentage of sugar, giving it a caramelized touch and a more intense flavor.
What Whole Bean Coffee is Best for Espresso?
The best whole bean coffee for espresso should have a medium or dark roast, with an intense flavor profile and a good body. You can choose Arabica beans for a smoother and more aromatic espresso or blends with Robusta for greater intensity and crema.
Which Whole Bean Coffee Has the Most Caffeine?
Robusta coffee contains about twice as much caffeine as Arabica, making it ideal for those looking for an extra energy boost in every cup.
How Long Does Whole Bean Coffee Last Before Losing Its Freshness?
Whole bean coffee maintains its optimal freshness for the first 3 months after roasting, although it can last up to a year if stored properly in a cool, dry place.
