Our team at SociaBull Coffee Company wants to help you get the most out of your coffee experience. To do this, we offer a wide array of gourmet coffee beans. In this article, we will go over a few of the features which set gourmet coffee apart from everyday coffee options.
- Small Batches – One of the differences between ordinary and gourmet coffee beans is the way they are processed. Most commercial coffee uses beans that have been roasted in large batches, with a process that focuses more on speed than on flavor. In contrast, gourmet coffee beans are roasted in small batches, and the producers focus on bringing out the unique flavor notes in each batch.
- Quality Control – Another difference between gourmet coffee and other options is the superior quality control. Where most conventional coffee producers strive to maximize volume, gourmet producers strive to maximize the flavor, mouthfeel, and other aspects of the coffee to give their customers the best possible experience. If you are looking for a great coffee to savor, we encourage you to use gourmet beans.
- Single Origin – Lastly, many gourmet coffee options use beans produced in a specific location by the same grower. This is known as single-origin coffee. Just as wines produced in various regions have different flavor notes due to the unique soil and weather conditions in each, so too do coffee beans. Fans of single-origin gourmet coffee love to compare the subtle differences between beans produced in one region vs. those grown in another.
