Pros and Cons of why you should brew coffee with whole coffee beans?

Let’s have a look at the pros and cons of brewing coffee with whole coffee beans.

The pros:

• If you’ve ever had a cup of coffee made with fresh, whole coffee beans, you know that it’s a world of difference from coffee made with pre-ground beans.
• The key lies in the fact that coffee beans are at their peak flavour immediately after they’re ground – and that flavour quickly starts to deteriorate once they’re exposed to air.
• Also, brewing with whole beans will allow you to experiment with different grind sizes and brewing techniques, giving you the ability to customise your coffee exactly to your liking. 

The cons:

• If you don’t like messing up your kitchen by using different tools to brew coffee with whole beans it’s probably not worth it.
• It’s a long process and the end result might be disappointing; you need to try it out a few times.
• Save yourself some hassle and stick to ground coffee beans 

Can you boil whole coffee beans to make coffee?

You might be surprised to learn that you can actually boil whole coffee beans to make coffee. While it might not be the traditional way to brew coffee, boiling beans is a popular method in some parts of the world. 

The process is pretty simple: 

• All you need is a pot of water and a handful of beans. 
• Just bring the water to a boil and add the beans, let them simmer for a few minutes, then remove from heat and allow to steep for a few more minutes. 
• After that, just strain the beans and enjoy your homemade coffee. 

Of course, boiling beans isn’t for everyone. Some people prefer the more traditional methods of brewing coffee as boiling coffee results in over extraction of caffeine and makes your coffee taste stronger. But if you’re feeling adventurous, give boiling beans a try – you might just be pleasantly surprised by the results.

Do coffee beans have to be roasted?

Coffee beans contain oils that contribute to their flavour and aroma. When the beans are roasted, these oils are released, making the coffee taste stronger and more flavorful.

If you use pre-roasted beans, the coffee will still taste good, but it won’t have that same freshness and flavour.

Wrapping it up 

It’s really not as hard as it seems, and the end result is a delicious cup of fresh java that will rival anything from your local coffee shop. So if your grinder or auto drip coffee maker broke down, or simply want to keep your electricity bill as possible don’t stress out – you can still make pretty good coffee.
