  • Buying coffee at the store can be overwhelming, so I decided to break down what to look for and avoid when buying beans. From k-cups, blends, single origin, to organic, I cover it all.

      Yes I question that because the machine pokes a hole through the aluminum and pour water through there. I don’t see how it’s hitting aluminum.

      So do you like cheese there's lots of different great teas to drink??. Lots of people like the green tea but I personally don't like green tea that anybody that you reading this be careful with some of them green teas because they have a lot of sugar in them if they're already pre-made so they can't be that healthy for you. There's a variety of teas that are good for you that have no sugar in them at all.
      And I hope you find whatever you like you enjoy it

    Here’s a copy/paste of a comment I left in a past video of yours.
    I adore you and I respect you, but you are so wrong about coffee blends. Single blends are single when that bean in particular stands out and is so special that blending it would be a crime. Blends happen because the roaster is trying to create a flavor profile and/or because the plantation cannot grow enough to supply for single origin. Hence why sometimes single origin coffee comes in a smaller bag. It’s the same with grapes. It’s why smaller wineries use combined grapes. They work their tails off combining and tasting in order to create their ideal flavor profile. This is why it’s an art-A true art. Also, in regards to organic, as someone who grew up in the Caribbean and whose family had a coffee plantation in Lares, Puerto Rico, I can tell you right now that to expect all coffee plantations between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn (the only places where coffee can grow) to be organic is completely unrealistic. The higher the humidity, the higher the struggle for crops. Humidity breeds pests, thus the need to eradicate them. Coffee roasters aren’t trying to cheat you, I promise. They are simply trying to help you discover new roasts and flavor profiles. I’m not just anyone, I’m a classically trained cook with extensive training in wines and coffee. I come to you for new products to try, because life is too boring to always eat the same thing.

    • @GoodandDelicious
      @GoodandDelicious 3 года назад +6

      Not to mention the fact that single origin can still come from multiple coffee plantations, but since they all come from the same country then they are deemed as single.

    Bobby excellent video. The one thing that I did not notice if you mentioned or not was about mycotoxins. I loved your comment about the VOCs in the K-Cup.
    But MODLY coffee is a real thing and the USA doesn’t test their coffees like they do in Europe. We buy any and all coffee.
    So for me, coffee makes me sick and releases toxins from mold in me. There are certain coffee companies that test for mycotoxins in their coffee that would be the ideal one to drink.
    Hope this helps someone!

    What if you vacuum seal the coffee beans once you open. Shouldn't that help with shelf life or not? Thanks for your great videos. You have given me courage by giving me knowledge in knowing what to look for. Had been so confusing before, to a degree, based on all of the marketing gimmicks.

    I like the Bulletproof coffee brand. It’s like $ 15.00 for a bag, 12 oz I think? Not cheap but their coffee is good tasting. Origin: Columbia/Honduras.

    Good info on coffee...I agree whole beans and single point origin is best! I store whole beans in a vacuum seal container and that its great! Question and feedback on Chicory from Cafe Du Monde or other providers?

    Great video! Love your channel. I did try the creamer, not fan.

      I love the dry, shelf-stable version of Laird’s. I always have several flavors on hand but I also use 100% grass-fed half and half.

      @@BoomerLoveforGenZ I've been using organic heavy cream but I will look for the grass fed half and half next time in the store. What brand is it that you buy?
