Golden Rules of Coffee
When it's all said, making a good cup of coffee at home is not a complicated thing. In fact, you only need to remember a small number of fundamental rules to make good coffee. How many of those rules you adhere to is up to you.
Coffee Taste Terms
You don't need to be a coffee connaisseur to make good coffee at home. You'll know what you like and dislike about any coffee you try, without a sense of taste sophisticated enough to know that one has a more "winy" aroma or "clean" taste than another.
Roast Style and Flavor
There are many factors affecting the flavor of your coffee. Naturally, the origin of the bean and the care with which it has been treated will affect the coffee in your cup, and so will the darkness of how roasted the coffee bean has been.
Kinds of Coffee
It's common knowledge that there is a wide flavor spectrum of teas, but it's less understood how many different kinds of coffee exist. The basic categories of coffee are: single-estate, single-origin, and blends.
Cafe Mocha Recipes
Mocha is the word that marries coffee and chocolate. Only the trained linguist could explain how this word has become confused between the two over the years. 'Mocha flavoring' has become synonymous with chocolate, but Mocha coffee refers to the Arabian Mocha bean that's been exported out of Yemen, the birthplace of coffee, for a long, long time.
