K-Cups – The Future of Coffee
The Keurig Coffee maker is quickly rising in popularity across North America. Because of the K-cup brewing system, you will not need the paper filters or the pot of coffee. The coffee is made in very few steps. You put a new K-cup in the reservoir and press a button and watch your coffee be brewed. With the K-cup brewers, you can have a cup of coffee in a matter of seconds and it is the flavour you had at local coffee shop.
But what if you don’t know what your favorite coffee is? Keurig provides nearly 200 different coffee, tea and hot cocoa K-Cups from which to choose! Because there are so many varieties and types of coffee, it is very important to understand the descriptions and type of coffee. Before you go an purchase your K\-cup Coffee it is important to understand the coffee you want to buy. The less interruptions to brewing a cup of coffee the better your morning will be.
The roast is the most important factor when choosing a coffee type. The roasting process can be a little confusing, so it is good idea to understand it so you can choose the coffee you want. By using a high temperature over a long period of time will create a dark roast coffee. The roast helps to determine the richness, bitterness, and smoothness of the cup of coffee.
Milder tasting coffee is the light roast coffee. Coffee beans look like a golden brown dry surface bean. Sometimes acidic tasting or may lack body. Light roasting preserves more of the natural subtle flavors of the coffee beans, allowing the drinker to taste differences in bean quality.
Less acidic taste is created by the medium roast. Medium roasting may create a slightly sweeter taste than a light roast. Beans are characterized by a medium, chocolate-brown hue. When roasting a bean you are giving up the natural bean flavour.
A full-bodied coffee is a Dark Roast bean that is spicy in taste. A coffee bean has an oily surface with a dark brown shine. Some of the natural bean flavour will be lost during the roasting process.
The different categories of K-cups that are available are easily understood once you know the variety of roasts. Timothy’s Morning Blend Coffee is a good choice of a light roasted coffee or Van Houtte’s Blended Coffee. Medium roast aficionados can choose between great options like Green Mountain Coffee Roasters’ Nantucket Blend or Tully’s Full City Roast. Caribou French Roast Coffee is a good dark roast coffee to try for that flavour of bean.
There may seem to be an unlimited number of factors that go into the creation of a type of coffee. Don’t let yourself become overwhelmed with coffee possibilities. But, if you put your taste buds to the test, you will soon figure out which roast is right for you. Before you know it, you may even end up a coffee connoisseur! And then you can wow your friends with your new knowledge of the gourmet coffee world.
