Hello and welcome to Coffee Beans; the blog devoted to information, advice and news from the world of coffee!Although it might seem as though we live in a world populated by coffee enthusiasts, passion for coffee is not as popular as you might think. They may be a Starbucks every few metres, but anybody with a true taste for coffee knows these are not the right places to go for the real deal. Of course, they can afford the very best commercial coffee machines and coffee beans, but making good coffee requires an attention to detail that just isn’t always possible in this fast-moving world of takeaway stimulation.

Making great coffee is as much as science as it is an art. For example, did you know that it is agreed within the coffee-loving community that a ratio of 55 grams of ground coffee should be used for every litre of water? That water shouldn’t be boiling either; it should be between 195-205°F. Only by knowing these facts and combining them with your own personal flair and eye for detail will you truly achieve coffee-making excellence! That’s why here, at Coffee Beans, we will strive you bring you the genuine facts and science behind coffee making, so that you can use it in your art.
