How to choose good coffee in the store: tips and requirements for the quality of coffee

When buying coffee in a store, pay attention to the following nuances:

1. Fresh coffee is tastier. Even the product of the same brand can differ significantly to taste, depending on how coffee beans have long been foiled and fried. Therefore, pay attention to the expiration date
2. A pack with a valve. If there is no valve on the packaging with grain coffee, then its taste is likely to disappoint you. The presence of the aroma-valve suggests that the grains were packed immediately after the roasting, which means that they did not lose their aromatic oils. This criterion applies only to grain coffee, for ground and soluble coffee valves are not needed
3. It is believed that good grain coffee should be light brown, and if its color is almost black, it is overhand. But the color of different grains in one pack may differ, some manufacturers fry different varieties separately, so that in the end they create the desired composition
4. The surface of the grains should be smooth and shiny, without crumbs and chips
5. Good ground coffee can be recognized by price and packaging, glass and tin containers are preferable than soft packaging
6. To evaluate the quality of the already ground coffee already bought, throw its pinch into the water, the water should remain transparent. If this is not the case, then there are impurities in coffee
7. An indirect sign of good coffee is the lack of synthetic additives. Although there are very high -quality products with natural flavors
8. Do not buy coffee for weight if it is put on a window in open boxes or banks. Coffee should be stored in hermetic packaging, and in good retail outlets they know about this
