Coffee delivery services exist to make the coffee drinker happy. That is basically how I see the industry. In fact, if you are a casual coffee drinker and Folger’s instant coffee makes you happy, this service probably isn’t for you. I am talking here about the coffee aficionado who knows that there are quite a few ways to happily satisfy their coffee craving. I want to talk about what kind of coffee drinker first and then we’ll talk about what possibilities are out there.
There are many types of coffee drinkers out there ranging from the average coffee lover to the hard core person who pays more than a hundred dollars for exotic coffee and has it flown to their door for instant gratification. There is only one coffee that I will even consider flying to my door and that is Kona Peaberry coffee. Once you’ve tasted it, you’ll never go back. Unfortunately, my friends have tasted it and, because of that, I can’t keep this great coffee in my house or I will go broke because of the moochers. Anyway, once you have evaluated your coffee mania level, you can then determine which coffee delivery services are appropriate for you. Some people love surprises. I don’t. If you like to be surprised, you can choose to have a random selection of coffee shipped to you on a schedule, usually monthly.
No matter what type of coffee you have delivered to you, keep in mind that a true coffee drinker always has coffee beans shipped to them so you’ll need to invest in a proper coffee grinder if you don’t already have one. Blade coffee grinders simply shred the coffee and are all but useless when trying to get uniform flavor from your bean. Preferably, use a burr grinder, they cost only a little more and are entirely worth the additional cost. Also, be sure your coffee delivery service is located near you. That way you can order today, grind tomorrow, savor the flavor. Everybody say ahhh… Try to grind only the coffee that you’ll need right away. The thinking here is that the fantastic aroma you smell coming from the coffee grinder will also take the flavor with it if it sits around too long after grinding. Have you ever wondered why supermarket coffee tastes so horrible? Well, it’s because they usually use low quality coffee beans and they usually grind them quite some time before they use them so they lose their flavor.
