Welcome coffee friends! Today we begin a series of posts where I will explain why life is too short to drink bad coffee. Let's dive into the wonderful (and sometimes complex) world of specialty coffee versus commercial coffee.
What is specialty coffee, you ask? Specialty coffee is the king of coffees, the David Beckham of beans, the Brad Pitt of infusions.
How do you tell the difference between specialty and commercial coffee just by looking at it? Good question. Specialty coffee has a lighter, more uniform color. It smells like paradise and tastes even better.
The origin of specialty coffee is as important as its taste. Knowing where your coffee comes from is super cool and very informative. Specialty coffee is grown in specific regions known for their perfect climate for growing coffee.
If you have fallen in love with specialty coffee and are ready to abandon commercial coffee forever, it's time to become your own home barista!
The roasting process transforms the beans from green beans to liquid gold. In specialty coffee, it brings out the flavors; in commercial coffee, roasting in excess generates bitter flavors.

Turn your coffee into a unique experience with touches of vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate or liqueurs. Be a barista mixologist at home.
Discover the truth about coffee myths: caffeine, roasting, hydration and more. Separating fact from fiction.
Make your coffee a ritual: create ambiance, savor and disconnect. Small pleasures that make great moments.
