Those gourmet coffee drinkers who are truly serious about it want to be certain their coffee is as fresh as possible. Actually, anyone who wants to drink the best cup possible cup of coffee (gourmet coffee or otherwise) will probably want to experiment using a gourmet coffee roaster. Gourmet coffee that has been ground and roasted is actually a modern convenience. Up until the late nineteenth century, Americans roasted their own coffee at home and many people all over the world still do. Nowadays, almost any coffee roaster can be marketed as a gourmet coffee roaster but back then only those of the highest quality would have been considered a gourmet coffee roaster. If you have never used a gourmet coffee roaster then you may be quite surprised to learn that they are actually quite easy to use. Making home roasted gourmet coffee beans as in a gourmet coffee roaster is nothing like making other home brews (like homemade beer or wine). Home roasting of gourmet coffee beans usually only takes less than half an hour to do and it requires almost no skill either. The best part though is that any small mistakes made during the roasting process should be offset by the tremendous advantages of fresh roasted gourmet coffee beans. The most important factor when roasting gourmet coffee beans at home is actually the roaster itself. Fortunately, technology has prevailed though. Depending on how serious you are about the gourmet coffee experience, there are high-quality gourmet roasters running up into the hundreds of dollars but you can also find good quality gourmet roasters for around 50 dollars. In fact, even the cheap models tend to produce better tasting gourmet coffees than those that have been pre-roasted simply because of the freshness. Gourmet coffee beans are best consumed within 48 hours after roasting. That's not say the gourmet coffees you find in online coffee shops are less than excellent, only that they are not at their best. Gourmet roasters are easy to use and produce excellent results. If gourmet roasters have a down side, it's that it does take some practice to produce consistent results. However, many people find the slight inconsistencies you get when using a gourmet roaster actually gives each batch a pleasantly unique taste. Plus, when you use a gourmet roaster at home you can enjoy medium-roasted Guatemalan Antigua one night and dark-roasted Guatemalan Antigua the next or experiment with something in between. | |
