Ground coffee

If you know the person’s, to whom you are gifting the coffee, hobbies - then choosing coffee will be easier. You can choose according to the country of origin or buy the highest quality coffee as a gift. However, If you do not have as much information and want the coffee to be suitable for everyone - pay close attention to the selection and that the dominant flavor would be sweetness, not fruitiness. Especially popular blends for versatiles gifts are from the American or Asian regions. Meanwhile, for coffee gourmets, we often suggest choosing coffee that is grown in Africa or that has the organic coffee certificate. Such coffee has fruitiness, a strong, expressive taste and aroma.

When choosing ground coffee, it is recommended to consider what you expect from it and the way it will be brewed. Each coffee has unique tastes, aromas and depending on the coffee type, the roast level, processing and brewing it can reveal different colors. E.g. for pour-over coffee it is recommended to use medium roast and medium grind coffee, because these coffee grinds will settle easier, and the poured water temperature will not burn it. However, If ground coffee is used with an espresso machine or with a french press brewer, you can choose finer grind coffee. While making coffee in these ways pressure is used, which means that the hot water is forced through compacted coffee grinds quite fast, but still appropriates aromas and flavors. It should be noted that when making beverages from ground coffee, the hotter the water - the more bitterness it will reveal in the drink. Also, the finer the grind is, the slower the water seeps through it, thus the coffee will be more intense, fragrant, and have a stronger taste.
