Falling in Love with Roasted-to-Order Beans
You can tell that a coffee bean has been roasted recently if it is still a bit shiny – as if all the flavorful oils are sitting on the outside of the bean. Almost like it hasn’t had time to wear off yet. This, along with where you buy your beans is essential. I started grinding my own coffee beans about a year ago, and I quickly tasted the difference. Then I found out about ordering coffee beans which are roasted on the day it ships out. Umm, yes?!
Here I am post-workout trying out my first cup of roasted-to-order beans (also my first cup of the day).

I thankfully managed to find a place that has real blends and actually has my favorite seasonal flavor all year round. Of course, I’m talking about pumpkin spice. My go-to website is now unroastedcoffee.com . They sell different size bags of the beans and offer to grind it for you in different ways. I personally prefer to order smaller bags and to order more often, so it doesn’t go bad. Also, it’s nicer to try the flavors without being left with beans I’m not a fan of.
