Gourmet Coffee FAQs

Can I purchase a coffee plant?
Yes, coffee plants can be purchased in many locations. For a great deal you may want to try a website or specialty store. But remember, coffee plants are warm weather plants and they may need a greenhouse to thrive in.

Where can I get a good quality espresso machine that is easy to use?
Most stores and/or online shops will carry an easy to use espresso machine. However, do not be trick by a beautiful machine. When you are purchasing be sure to choose ease of function over beauty.

How is coffee decaffeinated?
Caffeine is removed from coffee through a soaking process that happens prior to roasting. But use caution when drinking decaffeinated coffee, often there is still a bit of caffeine in your cup. Also, the coffee’s flavor may or may not have been compromised during the soaking process.

What is a good type of coffee for a first time drinker?
It is a personal preference. Many people begin drinking coffee by having a latte or mocha. A latte is a cup of coffee that has a milk product and a sugar product added to it. A mocha drink often has a milk product and chocolate added to it. These are both sweeter forms of a cup of coffee.
