Different Ways to Enjoy Drinking Your Coffee

Which coffee beans should you choose?

“Different types of coffee beans have more or less acidity”. “If you have a sensitive stomach, as can happen during sports participation, you should look for coffees with low acidity.”

Generally, beans grown on higher ground, such as those from Kenya, tend to be more acidic than ones from flat plantations such as those in Mexico. However, acidity is lessened through roasting so the darker the better. That is why our coffee at Griind Coffee tastes so great = low acidity = 100% Arabica Beans.

According to the Food Standards Agency there are approximately 100mg of caffeine in your standard cup of brewed coffee (70mg for instant), and 400mg a day is a perfectly safe amount to ingest.

The two main types of coffee are Arabica, which contains 0.8 to 1.4 percent caffeine, and Robusta, which offers 1.7 to 4 percent caffeine. Arabica beans are favoured because of their smoother, less bitter taste. They account for about 80 percent of all coffee produced. This is also why we at Griind Coffee make use of Arabica beans. It just tastes better…
