HookahShop.lt offers a variety of ground coffee, how to choose the most suitable one? Information on what to pay attention to and how to evaluate your wishes and possibilities will help you.
Coffee grinding level
This is one of the most important points, according to which you should choose ground coffee. Basic grind levels: extra fine, fine, medium, coarse or extra coarse. It's important to know these levels and how they differ in order to buy the right grind level for your desired coffee preparation method.
- Very fine grinding - for the preparation of Turkish coffee.
- Fine grinding - for preparing espresso coffee using automatic or semi-automatic coffee machines.
- Medium grinding – on the finer side, is most suitable for coffee makers, and specifically medium – for aeropress devices and filter coffee makers.
- Coarse grinding - for pour-over coffee.
- Very coarse grinding - french press for coffee shops, pour-over coffee and cold brew coffee.
In order not to get confused, on most of the packaging, coffee manufacturers indicate what the ground coffee is for. For those in doubt, we suggest not to be afraid and consult with coffee experts - sellers who will be happy to explain about the coffee for sale and how to properly prepare it for you to enjoy.
Freshness of ground coffee
As you know, the fresher the ground coffee, the tastier it is, so pay attention to the date on the coffee package. It will tell you when the beans have been roasted. Fairly soon after this process, the coffee beans begin to change their flavor. It is important that the ground coffee is packed in an airtight, high-quality package in order to slow down the aging and oxidation process of the coffee. This way you get the freshest possible coffee after grinding.
Types of ground coffee
Just as we classify coffee beans, the same criteria apply to ground coffee. There are three main types of coffee - Arabica, Robusta and Liberica. Arabica is the most popular and safest choice, but you will sometimes find it mixed with Robusta. Liberica is extremely rare and because of its low caffeine content, it is mostly used to make instant coffee. 100 % arabica is an excellent choice for both beginners and absolute coffee connoisseurs. It is worth noting that coffee can be mixed from different Arabica beans or made using only one type of Arabica.
What does the inscription "single origin" or "specialty" on the coffee package mean?
"Single origin" indicates that only one type of coffee bean was used in the coffee package. "Specialty" indicates that the coffee is quality, extremely high quality, one type of bean coffee.
Origin of ground coffee
The main regions where coffee is produced: Africa, Asia, South America, Central America. All these regions have certain characteristics of coffee aroma and taste. For those who like coffee with acidity, coffee from Africa with a light berry or fruit aftertaste is perfect. For those who like bitter, more intense coffee with aftertastes of chocolate or spices, we recommend trying coffee from Asia. The safest choice, with the most balance, both fresher and heavier aftertastes, is coffee from South America. You will often find notes of citrus fruits, wood, and caramel in it. Well, we encourage those who want to try something more interesting, such as coffee with a tobacco aroma, to try Central American coffee.
Ground coffee intensity
It depends a lot on the level of roasting of the coffee beans before they are ground. The lighter the roast, the more caffeine in the coffee. Well, conversely, the more coffee beans are roasted, the less caffeine they contain.
A light level of roasting allows the original taste and aroma of the beans to be revealed the most. Also, this coffee retains the most caffeine. This level of roasting is the most suitable for revealing soft aftertastes (flowers, fruits, berries).
The medium roast level is extremely balanced, the choice of the vast majority of coffee lovers. It adds a bit of bitterness, but not much, so the coffee is still nice and smooth. At this level, nuts, caramel and similar aftertastes will reveal themselves wonderfully.
The dark roast level is preferred by lovers of extremely strong coffee. This is the most suitable roasting level for making espresso coffee. Bitterness is more noticeable. It perfectly reveals such aftertastes as tobacco, wood or spices.
For lovers of ground coffee, it is very important to know - how to properly store ground coffee?
After opening the package of ground coffee, it immediately continues its aging process, so if there is such an opportunity, consume the coffee as soon as possible. Unlike coffee beans, we recommend buying ground coffee in smaller packages to ensure that the coffee is as fresh as possible. How to store it after opening?
