The Reason Coffee At A Cafe Always Tastes Better Than Homemade
By Carolyn Jenkins
Cafe coffee often surpasses coffee made at home due to factors like upscale machinery and high-quality coffee beans that are often inaccessible to the average consumer.
Colby Barr, co-founder of Verve Coffee Roasters, told Eating Well that it's crucial to use high-quality coffee to outshine other "great roasteries all over the country."
Coffee houses often roast the beans themselves before they are ground and served to make their own specific flavors. This sets them apart from chains and homemade coffee.
Coffee shops also have expensive, high-quality equipment to serve hundreds of people a day. The machines must be maintained properly for longevity and high performance.
Barr says an essential component of good coffee is maintaining appliances because it "gives you longevity in your equipment" and "your product will perform at a higher level."
Dirty equipment can change the taste of coffee. Customers can use this advice to ensure their equipment is in great shape and research the quality of beans before purchasing.
