5 characteristics to know if the coffee is of good quality

Do you fancy an exquisite and pleasant coffee? At Delfines Hotel & Convention Center we also declare ourselves ‘coffee lovers’, since its exquisite aroma and flavor make us fall in love. For many Peruvians, coffee is part of breakfast, even on these days when we have to work from home. So, we show you the best characteristics of Peruvian coffee.

The aroma of a good coffee is captivating

When we passed by the most exclusive coffee shops in Lima we were captivated by the incredible aroma of freshly prepared coffee. This is one of the main characteristics of Peruvian coffee: its aroma. There are different types of coffee that emanate a different aroma such as nuts, wood, earth, chocolate and much more.

The pleasant taste of good Peruvian coffee

Once you are captivated by the aroma, you are encouraged to taste the best coffee. There, you feel the pleasant taste of Peruvian coffee, and know immediately if the coffee is of good quality. Many people find bitter or sweet coffee pleasant, but that will depend on the taster's tastes.

The color will allow you to know the quality of the coffee

We know that if you are reading this article it is because you love coffee, just like we do. Therefore, a tip to recognize the quality of coffee is to see the color. This is due to the level of roast it has. For example, if the roast level is lower, the lighter the brown will be, but otherwise the coffee will be blacker. But, coffee experts recommend that the degree of roasting should be medium, so that the flavor and aroma can be felt at the right point.

Know the coffee roast date

Perhaps for many people, this is a less important characteristic, but it is one of the most important. So, before buying the coffee, it is to see the expiration date and the roast date. These data will help us to know the degree of freshness, which will allow us to enjoy a good coffee at any time of the day.

Choosing the right type of cup for a good coffee 

Believe it or not, choosing the right type of cup will allow us to enjoy a good Peruvian coffee. For example, for an express or cappuccino, the ideal would be to drink it in a cup with a narrow base, so that the hot drink can slide down the walls and thus form a uniform cream, giving a new texture to the coffee.
