If you are anything like me and most of the people in our office, your humanity only kicks in after your first deliciously hot and lifesaving cup of coffee<\/a>.\u00a0Every type of coffee has its own unique flavour, whether created from the berry, the roast or the blend. There are so many varieties to choose from, that it begs to question whether you\u2019re drinking the right blend for you?<\/p>\n

The best of advice I received when it comes to coffee drinking is \u201cjudge your coffee on a scale of sweet to tart (stronger acidity \u2013 more robust)\u201d.<\/p>\n

There two main types of coffee: Arabica<\/a>\u00a0beans (you will find these at most specialty coffee stores or cafes) and Robusta<\/a> beans.<\/p>\n

Arabica beans tend to be a bit pricier and are generally used in espressos<\/a> and cappuccinos<\/a>. Robusta beans, on the other hand, are best suited for when you are in desperate need of caffeine fix. The convenience of popping into your nearest cafe for \u201cyour usual\u201d is what gets many of us through a nine-hour day. It is, therefore, considered a good investment for any coffee lover to make an equally enjoyable cuppa at home. Pods<\/a> and espresso machines<\/a> are a great investment, and easy enough to use in the comfort of your own home. Getting your coffee fix at home is more economical, too. You can alternate coffee flavours by purchasing a mix of blends, to find the one that best suits your daily caffeine needs.<\/p>\n
