Okay, so obviously engaging with the world of specialty
coffee takes a bit of extra effort.
You can’t just pick it up at
the supermarket; you have to go to cafés or roasters, and
you’re expected to taste and consider the flavors to find
what you like.
So is it worth it? The answer is: it depends
on what you want to do with it.
As specialty coffee tends to be a bit pricier than what you
might call “commercial” coffee, if you’re going to splurge and
buy a fancy single-origin Kenyan, you want to be brewing
it in a way that gets the best from the bean.
If you’re not
interested in this side of coffee drinking then you’re better
off going for a more commercial bean, which might be half
the price, meaning you can skip straight to the roasting and
the brewing and stress less about your beans.
But as proven by the
growing hordes of coffeelovers around the country,
if you give the world of
specialty coffee a try you
might find yourself loving
the added awareness it can
bring to your brewing
