My favorite types of coffee
Okay, what exactly makes the coffee flavor so unique and compelling? In short, coffee beans and coffee roasts.
Types of Coffee Beans: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica beans have a sweeter, more complex flavor that you can drink straight. Funny thing is, even though it’s the most popular, it doesn’t have as much caffeine as Robusta. Robusta is cheaper and stronger. Because of its bitter flavor, you’ll typically see Robusta used for espresso drinks and in instant coffee mixes. Their high caffeine content will wake you right up!
Coffee roasts.
The coffee bean is the seed inside a coffee cherry. Before they’re
roasted, coffee beans are green and have almost no aroma, except for an
earthy, grassy smell. The roasting process is what makes coffee beans
into the delicious cup of coffee you’re drinking.

What about my preferences:
-
The pour over method involves pouring hot water through coffee grounds in a filter. The water drains through the coffee and filter into a carafe or mug. Pour over is also known as filter coffee or drip coffee
-
The French press is also known as a coffee press or a cafetiere. The hot water is poured into a cylindrical glass carafe holding the coffee grounds. The grounds are left to steep, and then the plunger with a stainless steel filter is pushed to the bottom of the carafe to press the grounds.
