COMMERCIAL COFFEE vs SPECIALTY COFFEE. What NOBODY tells you!

Do you know how to recognize them? here we show you how!

Precisely in these times, preparing good coffee at home is taking on a predominant role. We have been experimenting here in Spain and also in other countries with the development of specialty coffee that reaches the consumer especially through specialty coffee shops, where we can taste a coffee prepared by baristas and even buy coffee beans to take away. home.

And it is this last point that I am very interested in being able to reinforce; Not only by sending good coffee to consumers` homes, but also by accompanying them with the appropriate training so that they can prepare it in the best way, now that we have to spend more time at home.

The next step is to learn to distinguish between commercial coffee and specialty coffee.
Commercial coffee is the product that we usually find in supermarkets. But one way to distinguish it is by its taste. And is that the predominant flavor in commercial market coffees is the "toasted" flavor and when we speak of toasting, we refer to a dark, high roast, which is usually associated with the burnt flavor, as when you roast a slice of bread.

For its part, specialty coffee is very different. It is called "specialty" because from its cultivation until it is prepared it has been taken care of in a special way, giving priority to quality. And that is why a very dark roast is not average in a specialty coffee. Roasts prevail where the full potential of its flavor can be expressed.

So, in a specialty coffee we will find flavor notes such as brown sugar, chocolate, honey, nuts, in others there are even fruity and floral notes, a world full of different possibilities!

If we prepare it correctly, specialty coffee becomes a small luxury that we can afford. And this is where our proposal comes in, which we talk about extensively in our video,
