Every gourmet recipe that uses coffee, from classic coffee cake to the elegant Tiramisu deserves only the finest ingredients, and gourmet coffee made from 100% AA Arabica beans is the best choice for your greatest creations. What qualifies as gourmet coffee? According to experts, it begins with coffee made from the highest quality beans in the world. The beans are then perfectly roasted by artists known as master roasters to bring out the full flavor of the bean. The roasting profile is very important as 97% of all coffee beans are flame roasted which can be attributed to the burnt taste that is unfortunately all too common.

For the absolute best coffee taste, it is important that the AA Arabica beans be infrared roasted in which case the flame never touches the beans which allows for a more even roasting than if the beans were flame roasted. Only 3% of coffee roasted in the U.S is Infrared roasted. Infrared roasting results in a more consistent flavor and an extremely smooth finish without a hint of bitterness. The differences between gourmet coffee and typical commercial blends is as distinct as the difference between roses and carnations.

Traditionally, there are two types of coffee beans available to consumers. The first is made with Arabica Beans. These are the best coffee beans in the world, with 100% AA Arabica, certified organic coffee beans being the “best of the best”. Gourmet coffees are made exclusively with Arabica Coffee Beans. Varieties such as Boresha Coffee's Private Estate from Africa, Kona from Hawaii, Columbian Supremo, and Jamaican Blue Mountain are regarded as some of the best coffees in the world. Of the Coffees just mentioned, Boresha is the only one that infrared roasts their Arabica beans. Any gourmet recipe (other than espresso) should be made with 100% Arabica coffee; using anything else would be like eating a soufflé with catsup; it just doesn’t go together.

Gourmet coffees made with Arabica beans are slightly more expensive than grocery store and traditional commercial blends but the difference in taste is like night and day. Arabica beans produce a coffee whose flavor and quality are incomparable. The attention to detail in the preparation and infrared roasting of these beans creates a consistently superior coffee flavor. If you are going to create a gourmet recipe, shouldn’t you begin with a quality gourmet
coffee?

The other most common type of coffee is Robusta. Robusta coffee is considered by most coffee experts as the bitter cousin in the coffee world. Robusta coffee beans are commonly and primarily used in espresso because of their typically bitter taste. Some of the finer Arabica beans come from Costa Rica, which went so far as to pass a national law against the cultivating and harvesting of Robusta beans.

Many of the commercial coffee companies and big box coffee retailers that market prepackaged, canned, coffees to grocery and convenience stores, use Robusta coffee beans because they are cheap. The difference in quality and flavor between Robusta and Arabica coffees is obvious and proves that where coffee is concerned, you get what you pay for.
