Specialty Coffee, the Key Ingredient
Every gourmet recipe, from Tiramisu to classic coffee cake deserves
only the finest ingredients, and specialty coffee made from 100%
Arabica beans is the choice for your greatest creations. So what is
specialty coffee? According to experts, it is coffee made from the
highest quality beans found in the world. The beans are then
perfectly roasted by artists known as master roasters to bring out the
full flavor of the bean. The different between specialty coffee and
any commercial brand is the difference between roses and
dandelions.
HAWAIIAN KONA
There are 2 main types of coffee generally available to consumers.
The first is made with Arabica Beans (ROSES!). These are the finest
available. Specialty coffee is made exclusively with Arabica Beans.
Varieties such as Kona coffee from Hawaii, Columbian Supremo, and
Jamaican Blue Mountain are highly cherished and are considered
some of the best coffees in the world. All my recipes are made only
with 100% Arabica coffee. Using anything else is like topping a
souffle’ with tomato catsup.
Specialty coffees made with Arabica beans are a little more expensive
then supermarket and convenience store beans, and the reason is
simply this. Arabica beans are a much higher quality coffee bean,
producing a coffee taste that is incomparable. The love and care given
in the preparation and roasting of these beans always provides for a
consistently superior coffee flavor. If you are going to treat yourself
to a 4 star quality recipe, shouldn’t you begin with a 4 star quality
coffee?
JAMAICAN BLUE MOUNTAIN
The second type of coffee most widely available throughout most of
the world is known as Robusto (dandelions). This variety of coffee is
considered inferior by most coffee experts, including those qualified
to judge and rate coffee in an international scale. Costa Rica, which
produces some very fine Arabica coffee beans, has even passed a
national law against the cultivation and harvesting of Robusto coffee
plants. Some of the biggest customers of Robusto coffee beans are big
commercial coffee companies that market canned and prepackaged
coffee to supermarkets, convenience stores, and commercial
wholesalers. It is not fresh roasted, and the difference in taste and
quality is obvious. It is proof that when it comes to coffee, you truly
get what you pay for.
