Have The Great Smell Of Roast And Ground Coffee Every Day
It is very ironic that being a person not medically able to drink coffee, I love the smell of it. In fact my previous job was near a coffee-processing factory and while on playground duty I used to inhale the smell intently, especially on a chilly winters day. Now I am on maternity leave and no longer working at that place the smell greets me each morning as I live around the corner from a different coffee specialist. What is it about aroma that captures coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers alike? What better way to start everyday than by having the great smell of roast and ground coffee?
One of the things that makes a good flavoured coffee, and its distinct bouquet, is the roasting process. Coffee drinkers may never ask themselves why this process is necessary. A coffee bean that is not roasted has very different properties from a drinkable one. It is green in colour and while its shares the protein, caffeine and acids of its counterpart, the taste, compactness and smell are dissimilar. Through the roasting process and its associated chemical changes a coffee bean becomes the one that we all know and love. The amount of roasting governs the level of oil on the bean's surface as well as the depth of darkness and hence flavour.
A coffee bean must then be ground in order for it to be usable. This simply makes the bean smaller in size and increases its surfaces area. While there are various methods of performing this part of the coffee processing methodology, the coffee drinker must be aware of how they intend to brew the coffee at this stage. Fine particles of coffee are only used for those brewing processes, which subject them to a small amount of heat for a short amount of time, while coarser particles can be exposed for longer periods of time.
Most coffee drinkers cannot be fussed with roasting and grounding their own coffee beans and hence buy pre-packaged ones from supermarkets or specialists. There is however disadvantages for choosing to do so. The main one being that you do not have the aroma filling up the house as the process occurs. There is nothing cosier on a winter's day or more inviting to guests than this smell.
Coffee that is ground does not last as long as non-ground coffee. This is because you are exposing more surface area to degrading oxygen. You can keep it stored correctly but roasting and grinding it everyday is one way to ensure a higher quality of drinkable coffee. This is another sure way to impress visitors.
Having the great smell of roast and ground coffee every day can be a sure way to entice you out of bed early. Whether this is to face another day at work, look after the children or just have fun on a weekend, it all seems more enjoyable with a fresh hit of coffee.
