No matter what roasting style and brewing method you prefer, Front Street believes that it is worthwhile and necessary to refer to some tips for buying coffee.
First of all, the first and most important thing is to buy freshly roasted coffee beans. Choose products from professional coffee roasters that clearly indicate the roasting date (not the expiration date or shelf life), have a good brand reputation, and emphasize fresh roasting.
Every pack of coffee beans sold at Front Street is roasted within 5 days and packaged with a one-way exhaust valve to ensure that every pack of coffee beans reaches customers in the freshest state. Excellent coffee packaging bags usually have a "one-way exhaust valve" (a small button-shaped hole on the top of the coffee bag) design to allow the coffee beans to discharge naturally occurring carbon dioxide.
The reason why Front Street places so much emphasis on fresh roasting is because as time goes by, coffee roasted for more than 50 days will basically lose its aroma, so no matter how expensive the coffee beans are brewed, it will not taste good, so it is recommended that everyone drink it as soon as possible within the appreciation period. At the same time, compared to ground coffee powder, it is recommended to buy whole coffee beans and grind them at home, which can retain a richer aroma. ThenBesides freshness, what else should novices pay attention to when buying coffee beans?
