Gourmet Coffee, what is not to love? For those who are hooked on coffee, Gourmet coffee is what gets the day off to a good start, and it picks us up in the middle of the day.

Coffee has been around for thousands of years. Gourmet coffee however, has been around for less than one hundred years, and it has fast become the favorite of millions of coffee connoisseurs throughout the world.

There are hundreds of different types of gourmet coffee. These include Colombian gourmet coffee which has a bold, strong flavor, with a rich aroma guaranteed to satisfy every coffee lover.

There are also flavored gourmet coffees, which include French Vanilla, Caramel, Mocha, Hazelnut and Mexican Chocolate and more.

There are so many choices, that the Gourmet Coffee enthusiast will have a difficult time choosing the one they like best. Finding a company that has sample size packs can help in the process of finding what you like best.

The Gourmet Coffee lover can enjoy specialty coffee such as Pumpkin Spice, a rich savory coffee that is like a slice of pumpkin pie. These types of gourmet coffees are not available year-round except at very exclusive producers who deliver direct to the consumer for home brewing.

There are gourmet coffee shops in every city and town in the United States, and around the world. The most popular of all the gourmet coffee shops are Dunkin' Doughnuts, Starbucks, and Honey Dew Doughnuts.

Each of these gourmet coffee shops offers the standard cup of coffee, and the flavored coffees but each offers a different twist of their coffees, however, they come with prices that rival the cost of a good meal.

What about the gourmet coffee shops that nobody even realizes is a coffee shop? The coffee stations that are in grocery stores or in department stores? These shops sell fabulous gourmet coffee, but often they are passed by.

When you do a Google search for gourmet coffee, you will find that there are a variety of Internet sites that are dedicated to gourmet coffee.

The Internet sites offer specials and discount just for trying their coffee. These offers include a special type of coffee maker designed especially for one brand of gourmet coffee. Your coffee maker is as personal as your choice of coffee and should be considered carefully.

When driving through small-town America, and a roadside coffee shop pops up on the horizon, one can imagine how the bigger chains got started. The bigger gourmet coffee shops have teams of coffee roasters who are dedicated to creating new and delicious flavors of coffee.

The Gourmet Coffee consumer will undoubtedly look forward to all the new flavors that are created and the true Gourmet Coffee consumer will travel out of their way to try a great cup of gourmet coffee that they heard mentioned either in conversation or through a crowd.

When you are making gourmet coffee at home, you will need whole coffee beans, (grinding the beans just before brewing ensures the freshest coffee) fresh spring water or distilled water (our preference), light cream and sugar. These are the key ingredients for the freshest, best tasting cup of coffee you will ever taste. When choosing a vendor for your home or coffee shop cup you will want coffee beans that have been freshly roasted. Time is not on your side. Coffee begins to lose its fresh flavor quickly after roasting and most beans that come from mass roasters spend weeks and even months in warehousing and transportation systems required to get them to the final consumer. So, when considering your coffee supplier, choose wisely.
