Live coffee: undeniable advantages

What is live coffee

Live coffee is obtained by roasting regular beans. An important factor is time. In this case, the grains can be used no later than 6 months from the date of roasting. This is the only way coffee will retain all its beneficial substances and compounds.

In this case, classic Arabica remains a popular variety. It is obtained after roasting beans collected from coffee trees in Ethiopia. All work is done only by hand. The use of cars is excluded.

Live coffee is also made from other beans. However, for this the manufacturer must meet two conditions:

1. The plantation should be located in the highlands.
2. Coffee trees should only grow in regions of the equatorial climate zone.

The beans are roasted using proprietary methods. The roasting date is indicated on the packaging of live coffee. The fresher the drink itself, the richer its taste and aroma.

Differences between live and regular coffee

Live coffee is very different from regular coffee. The drink, familiar to most, retains its characteristics even after several years from the moment of roasting. The taste remains unchanged during all this time. The aroma dissipates slowly.

Live coffee is the pinnacle of coffee art. The drink has a tart taste and strong aroma. After roasting, the beans begin to lose their flavor characteristics immediately. After 30 days, in many varieties they disappear completely.

Some manufacturers have learned to maintain the taste and aroma of beans for a longer time. However, in this case the shelf life does not exceed 6 months.

Differences from regular coffee

Regular one can be consumed for several years after roasting the beans. However, its taste characteristics are usually unchanged. Conventional varieties are stored for a long period of time under certain conditions and temperatures. Only after many years do the granules completely lose their taste and aroma, and the coffee becomes unsuitable for brewing.

A live drink is a unique type of coffee that guarantees the highest quality from its manufacturer. The value lies in the more tart and rich taste, as well as the strong aroma of the granules or ground material. Which is proven by its unique taste, which is inevitably lost exactly one month after the expiration date.

The difference between live coffee and regular coffee is the period of recommended consumption and the possible yield from one bush. Live varieties are obtained from elite plants, which are harvested 4 times a year, which guarantees the quality of the product.

Reviews

Elena, Samara:

I bought ORIGINAL ground live coffee at Pyaterochka. The smell was felt even through the package; the production date was released about a month ago. I didn’t like that the degree of grinding was not indicated. Too small for a geyser coffee maker will not work. The aroma is invigorating, the strength is good, and fortunately the grinding didn’t upset me either.

Maria, Russia:

I decided to try coffee for brewing in a cup. The variety I chose was Arabica. Brews quickly. But there are also a lot of shortcomings - the coffee taste is too soft and the tobacco taste is too strong. In short, a sea of ​​promises, but in reality it’s not for everyone.

Dmitry, Moscow:

I read negative reviews and am amazed. Buy fresh product! The expiration date is also indicated there. I order delivery to the office from the manufacturer. There are different varieties, everyone likes them.

The best coffees to brew

2. Colombia. Colombian coffee is known for its full aroma, clean acidity, and rich flavor. Individual flavors vary depending on the microclimate of the regions - from the sweet taste of walnuts and chocolate to floral or fruity notes. Coffee from Colombia is rightfully one of the most popular in the world.
3. Ethiopia. Coffee grown in Ethiopia takes on an earthy flavor - the most recognizable are the berry varieties.

Criteria for selecting ground coffee

The main criteria when choosing ground coffee, which are important to pay attention to, are:

• price;
• date of manufacture;
• package;
• cleaning method;
• grinding;
• degree of doneness;
• appearance.

The cost of ground coffee per package of 200/250 g starts from 170 rubles. and can reach up to 800 rubles. and more. A high price is not always an indicator of quality. The cost is also influenced by the variety, yield and brand of the manufacturer.

For example, the price for 100 g of the most expensive variety of Indonesian coffee in the world, Kopi Luwak, the grains of which must pass through the digestive tract of a mustang animal, starts from 4 thousand rubles. The intensity of the aroma and the quality of taste depend on the date of production. It is recommended to choose the coffee that has had the least amount of time since grinding.

Coffee that is roasted and ground less than a month ago is considered fresh, capable of conveying the true aroma, taste, and beneficial properties. After 4 months, it begins to lose its main features.

The most reliable storage method is considered to be 3-layer foil. It is recommended to choose a product packaged in vacuum bags, hard or soft. The first option is preferable. A hard briquette is dense to the touch and does not change shape after pressure. Soft vacuum bags have a valve that allows gases to escape.

Coarsely ground goods are often packaged in soft packaging. For standard coffee consumption (2-3 cups per day), it is not recommended to buy a large briquette. A few days after opening, the coffee will begin to lose its properties.

You should refrain from buying ground coffee sold by weight. The lack of tightness and the possibility of penetration of sunlight change the gastronomic characteristics of the product for the worse. If you want to buy coffee in bulk, the best option would be to choose specific beans that can be ground immediately.

There are 2 main methods of cleaning coffee cherries - dry and wet. Dry peeling - drying the berries in the sun and peeling each one by hand. After brewing, the drink has a slightly bitter taste and tart aroma. Wet involves soaking the cherries for a long time, separating the swollen pulp, and further fermentation during the day. This coffee turns out soft, delicate, with a sweetish aftertaste. The smell of the drink is deeper in comparison with the 1st option.

The grinding of grains must be selected based on the preparation method:

• coarse - ideal for preparing a drink in a cezve (traditional Turk), coffee pot, piston coffee maker;
• the average is considered universal;
• thin suitable for filter coffee makers, steam coffee;
• ultra-thin is best suited for preparation in a cup, cezve, geyser coffee maker.

There are the following types of roasting beans:

• Italian: roasting the grains until they turn black; coffee has a tart taste, bitterness and a high degree of strength; not recommended for use in the 2nd half of the day;
• French – strong roasting, imparts velvety chocolate notes in taste and bitterness;
• Viennese – average degree; This type of coffee is characterized by a sweetish aftertaste;
• American – medium rare; adds a slight bitterness to the drink;
• Scandinavian – light; The result is a soft, aromatic drink suitable for any time of day.

The longer the roast, the stronger the coffee and the richer the taste.

When roasting for a long time, essential oils are released in greater quantities, and the ground coffee fizzles out faster and ages. For connoisseurs of mild taste, light and medium roast are more suitable. You should pay attention to the appearance of ground coffee after purchase or, if possible, before. The structure must be homogeneous without foreign impurities. Unscrupulous producers dilute ground coffee with chicory, crushed beans, and date pits. In worst cases, starch and plastic may be added.

You can check the powder for the absence of impurities by pouring 2-3 tbsp into a glass of cold water. l. coffee. Natural coffee will remain at the top. The additives present will settle to the bottom and intensely color the water.

Good day, dear readers! Today we’ll talk about what live coffee is. The drink is a real invigorating drink for many people, which allows them to wake up in the morning and get a boost of energy. However, not everyone can boast of truly aromatic coffee, since very often this drink reaches us at the end of its shelf life. This means that all the aroma almost has time to fizzle out and what ends up on the table is not the best version of the drink.

However, now live coffee is produced in Russia, which, due to the reduced transportation time, can retain its taste, color and quality.

For Russia, this drink is new, since many consumers have not seen it on sale before. But in fact, it appeared back in 2005, more than 10 years ago. During this time, the company that produces this product has taken one of the first places in the market.

We recommend drinking this drink from the Czech Leander porcelain set

Methods for brewing coffee in a cup

To maximize the taste of the finished drink, you need to properly care for the grains and use suitable water. Only fresh coffee and water with a favorable chemical profile will provide the desired taste and aroma. In any other case there is a risk of disappointment.

Air and humidity are the two greatest enemies of good coffee. The longer the grains are exposed to them, the more negatively they affect the taste of the product. In order for the drink to retain as much taste as possible, you must adhere to the “rule 15”:

• coffee must be roasted within 15 months of harvest;
• after roasting, the grains must be ground within 15 days;
• The ground powder must be used within 15 minutes.

This way the coffee will retain everything that makes it unique – the perfect and refreshing taste. Recommendation? Buy whole grains.

Ground powder loses its properties even in vacuum packaging - the vacuum only slows down its aging.

Don't stock up and always grind your coffee before brewing. What grind coarseness should I use? It depends on the specific cooking method:

1. Water can destroy even the finest coffee. It's no surprise that 99% of grains are water. Pay special attention to the chemical composition and temperature of the water.
2. Do you suspect that the water coming out of your tap may have the wrong chemical composition? Do an analysis. This can be done at home using affordable testers.
3. For increased hardness, use softening filters attached directly to the faucet, filter kettle, or buy bottled water with the appropriate composition.
4. You have high-quality freshly ground grain, the water used has an ideal chemical composition. But the end result does not meet expectations at all. Cause? You may have used boiling water (100ºС). The powder burns and has a bitter taste.
5. The ideal water temperature for preparing the drink is about 90ºС (±5ºС depending on the specific preparation method).

If desired, you can add sugar along with the ground powder.

Brazilian

In Brazil, mainly Arabica is grown, which has a soft, delicate taste with different shades. There is often a chocolate or nutty tone and minimal sourness, which will appeal, in particular, to novice consumers. The Brazilian method of brewing a delicious drink is famous among gourmets. Let's see how to properly brew coffee in a cup using the Brazilian method:

1. Take coarse grains (about 9 g) and pour them into a heated cup.
2. Fill with hot water (about 90ºС).
3. Leave for 5 minutes.
4. Remove the “crust” formed by large particles of grains (by the way, it prevents the drink from cooling quickly).

Polish

This method is suitable for people who are constantly in a hurry. To prepare it, finely ground beans (about 7 g) or ground coffee in bags (sticks) are used.

Preparation:

1. Pour coffee into a warmed cup.
2. Fill with hot water until the powder is covered.
3. Mash the grounds with a spoon.
4. Add water to the required amount.
5. Drink after 4 minutes.

Ground coffee sticks

Cuban

In this case, finely ground coffee is used to brew in a cup, as in the Polish method. The difference is the addition of cane sugar to the drink and - at the end - a small amount of rum.

In the microwave

This method is similar to making Turkish coffee:

1. Place medium or finely ground grains (about 7 g) into a microwave-safe cup.
2. Pour some water and stir.
3. Add water (cold) without reaching 3 cm from the edges of the cup.
4. Place in the microwave.
5. When foam rises, turn off the device and remove the cup.
6. Leave to stand for 4 minutes.

Cold way

The term “iced coffee” does not mean a drink brewed with hot water and left on the kitchen counter. We are talking about a completely different cooking method - cold brew. Have you ever thought that ground grains can be filled with cold rather than hot water? If not, it's time to fix it:

1. Prepare freshly ground coffee. Choose a coarser grind, similar to a French press. It is recommended to always use freshly roasted beans, ground immediately before brewing.
2. Pour the powder with cold water (1:10). Leave to infuse for 16-24 hours. The container can be placed in the refrigerator.
3. Filter the resulting drink. You can use a French press.
4. Enjoy the rich, sweet taste.

Live coffee: Arabica

Live coffee means that it has been roasted according to a special technology that is not used in other cases. This roasting method allows you to preserve all the beneficial substances found in the grains. That is why this product is not only tasty, but also healthy.

Many consumers can tell you that often different types of grain are purchased before the expiration date expires, since a lot of time is spent on transporting the product.

However, coffee immediately after it is roasted goes to store shelves and then the buyer can purchase a completely fresh drink, just packaged.

In order to understand why live coffee is so valuable, it is worth considering what is included in its composition, what useful substances it is rich in and why these substances are valuable for the human body. Thus, natural grain contains the following substances:

• Antioxidants. They allow you to increase life expectancy, rejuvenate the body and prevent it from aging ahead of time. They help remove free radicals and thereby prevent the development and exacerbation of chronic diseases, help eliminate bad mood and depression.
• Calcium, iron, potassium, phosphates and other microelements that are necessary for normal human life and the performance of the whole organism;

• Breastfeeding women should also avoid it, as it can spoil the taste of milk and excite the baby;
• Promotes the accumulation of cholesterol.

Due to contraindications and some negative effects, some categories of people should avoid drinking the drink, as well as others should drink the drink in moderation.
