Did You Know Coffee Facts? The Ultimate Guide to Better Brews
Welcome to your deeper dive into the world of coffee—from its legendary origin story to the science behind your perfect cup. Whether you’re curious about how coffee was found, how grind size affects flavor, or the wellness benefits of mushroom coffee, this article covers it all.
How Was Coffee Found?
Legend has it that a goat herder named Kaldi discovered coffee in Ethiopia when he noticed his goats dancing after eating red berries from a wild tree. Those berries? Coffee cherries.
From that moment, coffee began its journey across continents—eventually becoming the world’s most loved beverage. Today, you can trace your morning brew all the way back to its roots in Ethiopia.
Did You Know Coffee Facts?
Here are some fascinating facts about your favorite drink:
- Coffee is the second most traded commodity after oil.
- Arabica coffee is considered the highest quality and makes up over 60% of global production.
- Contrary to popular belief, light roast has more caffeine by volume than dark roast.
- Your grind size and brewing method can completely change the flavor profile.
How Grind Affects Extraction
Grind size isn’t just about preference—it’s a science.
- Coarse Grind (French press): Bold and textured
- Medium Grind (Drip or pour-over): Balanced and smooth
- Fine Grind (Espresso): Intense and rich
💡 Pro Tip: Using the wrong grind can lead to over- or under-extraction. Stick with freshly ground NeoBean coffee for optimal flavor.
How Roast Affects Flavor
Roasting transforms green beans into the flavorful brew we love. Here’s how:
- Light Roast: High acidity, more origin flavors
- Medium Roast: Balanced body and smooth finish
- Dark Roast: Deep, bold flavors with a smoky edge
At NeoBean, we roast in small batches to bring out the best in every origin.
