Coffee Bean Variety is the Spice of Morning Life

Coffee Bean Variety is the Spice of Morning Life Your parents and your parents" parents may have been fine with the same old coffee day after day, month after month, and year after year, but it"s the 21st century! There"s no reason you should have to be limited to the same type of coffee day in and day out. Although there are thousands of variations of the coffee plant, there are two main species that are used commercially for most of the coffee you drink - Coffea arabica, and Coffea canephora (also called robusta.) Of the two, Arabica offers a richer full flavor. Robusta coffee beans can be quite bitter in some cases and are occasionally used for some espressos. В  Arabica is harder to grow and takes more money during the process. Jamaican Blue Mountain В  Grown atop Blue Mountain in Jamaica, this coffee can go for more than $25/pound. Kona В  It"s a rich and robust coffee that"s dark and full of complex flavors. Like JBM, the government (in this case the US government) strictly controls what coffee can carry the Kona name. В  Coffee Blending В  Beyond just using coffee beans from one type of plant from one region, some coffee you can purchase at shops or at home is a blend of two or more different types of beans. The better blends typically have more Arabica than Robusta or might even be pure Arabica. If you have a coffee bean grinder, you can create your own blends at home. В  Flavored Coffee В  В  Your Style, Your Coffee В  Whatever way you decide to go (we didn"t even get to mention the different methods of roasting that can affect the flavor of your coffee), mixing it up with your coffee can make a normal every day experience something a little extra special. And when it comes to something as great as coffee, if you can make it even a little better, it"s going to be even more fantastic. В
