GOURMET~ relating to high-quality food that is sophisticated, expensive, rare, or meticulously prepared

Ever wonder why some places offer ‘gourmet’ coffee for $4 and $5 a pound while others are triple that?  Well…you get what you pay for.  Ask yourself these questions when making your gourmet coffee purchase:

~Is the coffee Fresh Roasted to your order, or is it roasted and packaged in bulk and then waiting for sale? 

This is important because coffee does not improve with age, once roasted the quality clock starts ticking.

~Do I have options? 

Coffee is not one size fits all!  It is important to have a variety of blends and origins to choose from in addition to being able to buy your coffee whole bean or ground.

~What if I don’t know what kind of coffee to buy? 

A quality site should have a resource for recommendations, or if you are feeling adventurous try a coffee club in which you receive a different coffee every month.

~How much coffee do I order? 

To maintain the freshness and quality of your purchase, it is recommended that you only purchase the amount of coffee to be consumed in a couple of weeks.

~Once I receive my coffee, do I know how to store and prepare it?
