ALL You Wanted To Know About Coffee

The world of coffee can be very complex unless you know about coffee. My name is Vinny but most of my friends call me "The Coffee Guru". This comes from my vast knowledge of coffee blends and the way I can tell what type of coffee is which by the aroma. I am here to teach you all that I have learned over the years.

Use the navigation on the right and select a topic. This site is made for your pleasure because a good coffee is like a fine wine. I want you to know all there is about coffee because the more you know the better the choices you make when you walk into a Starbucks or you are brewing coffee at home for the first time.

I want you to be able to select a coffee based on these important factors:

  1. Aroma: The aroma is the sweet smell that the coffee gives off when it is done.

  2. Body: This relates to the actual weight and texture of the coffee as you feel it in your mouth. examples are thin, heavy, mild, and full.

  3. Blend: As the word suggests, and you see on the menu's at coffee houses the term refers to the mixing style of two or more varieties of roasted coffee. In the leading coffee stores you can get different types of "house" blends.

  4. Flavor: There is no proper way to explain flavor as that can only be described by each persons taste buds.

You will learn all about the many types of coffee as well as some places that you can order coffee online from some places that I have found.

Some of my personal favorite coffees are:

  • Espresso: I like having one in the afternoon as a little pick me up.

  • Cappuccino: When an espresso doesn't do it for me I have one of these instead.

  • latte: I have one usually after dinner while I watch the news on television.

 

Enough about what I like, how about you join me into the world of coffee, in no time flat you will be able to better appreciate this wonderful drink. Feel free to chime in with what type of coffee you like on the new coffee lovers forum.
