How Processing Impacts Flavor
Whether you enjoy crisp citrus notes or deeper, fruit-driven cups, understanding processing can help you discover what you love. Flip over a bag of Joe Bean Coffee, and you’ll see the details that make each one unique—origin, variety, and processing. Each of these, along with roast profile, plays a key role in shaping flavor. Starting with processing, we explore how different methods impact taste.
What Does the Valve on Your Coffee Bag Do?
Ever wonder how your coffee stays fresh? Our one-way valve releases CO₂ while blocking oxygen, preserving flavor and aroma longer.
Farm Fresh Coffee
How long is coffee fresh? What happens when it goes stale? And does freshness really make a big difference in taste?
What Makes Specialty Coffee Special ?
What makes specialty coffee so special and why are so many coffee drinkers choosing it over commercial grade coffee? To answer this, we will look at three main factors in the rise of “specialty coffee”. The impact of connecting coffee roasters and farmers, the commitment of roasters (and baristas) to education, and the introduction of higher quality home brewing equipment.
