You walk down the street with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays and suddenly you smell the charmingly burnt aroma of coffee beans roasting from the gourmet coffee shops along the road. There are quite a variety of shops from which to choose so it's not easy deciding which one will make the best coffee drink or have the best roast. It's almost like wine where there are many tastes to the various coffees. Not only is the variety important but also the roasting is key to how a particular coffee bean will grind up and make a great cup of coffee.
There are so many different coffees from which to choose that it is hard to determine which is the best coffee blend. First you must decide between Arabica coffee beans or Robusta coffee beans which are the two most common coffee beans used. Arabica is the most common and can be found in around seventy-five percent of the coffees throughout the world. Coffee beans can be from a large variety of places with a little bit of an argument on where it originated. Some say it was Ethiopia. Many good beans come from South and Central America and one particularly popular bean comes from Kona, one of the Hawaiian Islands. The lava growing grounds offers a unique flavor that many will pay top dollar for.
While deciding which bean you are buying, you are usually also picking the roasting method. That also can be confusing. You will find differences in methods with Atlanta coffee roasters doing it slightly different than roasters from another part of the country. However, there really aren't that many different ways of roasting there are just different recipes with the use of different flavors, different temperatures and deciding when the bean is aged to the right maturity for the best possible flavor. It is almost like wine in that you have different beans that can be aged or not and then roasted using a particular method before packaging in very similar containers.
