A Beginner’s Guide to Gourmet Coffee Culture

They say once you go gourmet coffee, you never go back. While most people are pretty much content with their instant three-in-one coffee, an experience with the best roasts are surely going to impact your viewpoint on the whole coffee culture. It doesn't take a snooty individual to make a coffee culture happen; even wholesale coffee beans count – it's all a matter of knowing what coffee options are out there and which ones you ought to try. In this case, the fun is found in experimenting with its various tastes and aromas you might never have expected to be there if you stick to your "instant coffee" ways.
First off, for something to be considered as gourmet coffee (whether wholesale coffee or otherwise) it must have what is considered to be the best and most flavorful beans around: Arabica. Arabica coffee beans are the ones that are richest in taste once roasted, so as a result they are also the most expensive. Purists will always go for 100% Arabica coffee, but in some cultures they prefer a mixture of Arabica and other types of roasts (which will be discussed later). Arabica is a fine- and full-bodied coffee you usually smell every time you enter a coffee shop – a scent to lure and entice coffee enthusiasts everywhere.
In terms of mixing (or blending) roasts, some people prefer their gourmet coffee to have slight touches of liberica and robusta beans. These beans, usually considered as wholesale coffee type of beans, add the much-needed kick most people expect from a good brew. While Arabica gives you that delicious aroma wafting in your nose and that indulgently bitter but full-bodied taste in your mouth, the liberica and robusta beans heighten the experience by stimulating your senses with caffeine and keeping you wide awake. Without it, you might find yourself feeling warm and fuzzy and even a bit sleepy!
Gourmet coffee is also all about the culture. How do you prefer your brew? Considered to be the best method is the French coffee press, but it is for those who have a lot of time on their hands. For a really good kick you can swig in the morning and head out the door ready to face the day, you can try a Moka pot espresso shot. Traditionalists like to put their wholesale coffee in a drip pot and pour out cups from the carafe all throughout the day. Whichever method you prefer, these are certainly a lot more preferable in terms of flavor and experience compared to the lowly instant coffee!

High Calorie Coffee Drinks – Just in Time for the Holidays
 | US $9.99 (0 Bid) End Date: Friday Feb-24-2012 17:24:24 PST Bid now | Add to watch list |
With the Holidays fast approaching we tend to drink more coffee and eat a lot more desserts. Its gets really bad on the waistline when our coffee starts to have as many calories as a dessert, but unfortunately many specialty coffee drinks are like a dessert, not something you should consume on a daily basis unless you give them the caloric respect they deserve.
How much damage can your favorite coffee drink do in additional calories added to your diet? The fancier the drink, the fancier the calories - especially when you opt for the whipped topping. An extra 200 calories a day can add up to 21 extra pounds added to your body per year!
If you can't give up your daily gourmet guzzle, know what calories you are adding to your body before you make your decision on which coffee drink to purchase. You don't need to give up your favorite coffee drink, but just adjust your coffee order to make it more calories conscious.
Try the following tips to make your next coffee drink more guilt-free:
Black Coffee - It is not the coffee that makes you gain weight, but all the extras that go in the drink. A medium-size regular cup of coffee has about 10 calories and 0 grams of sugar. You can control how much of those extras you put in your coffee. So order a black coffee and ask for the extras on the side and pour them in yourself.
Whipping Cream - By saying NO to whipped cream, you can reduce your calories of the drink about 80 to 130 calories. This will also reduce the fat content of your drink by about 8 to 12 grams.
Sweeteners - Request that whey use a calorie-free sweetener like Sweet'N Low, Splenda, or Equal instead of sugar.
Sugar-Free Syrup - Usually the coffee shop will have some sugar-free syrup. The sugar-free syrup adds no additional calories or fat to your drink.
Chocolate - A tablespoon of chocolate syrup is 50 calories. Some coffee drinks with chocolate contain as much as 1/4 cup (1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons = 200 calories). A light version of chocolate syrup gives you about 1/2 the calories.
Milk - User reduced fat or skim milk instead of cream when ordering your drink. You can save up to 140 calories by using this in your coffee drinks.
