A guide to all things coffee, for everyone from novice to expert.
We know, you love coffee. It’s probably the least original thing about you.
We don’t need to tell you that coffee is insanely popular and that countless people rely on it for basic executive functioning skills. Honestly, I’m not sure how I’m writing this on a Monday morning without having had any first. (Please clap.)
But just because you’re very well acquainted with coffee doesn’t mean you know everything you want to about these powerful little beans. After all, there’s kind of a lot to know.
I worked in a coffee shop for a while and accidentally ended up on coffee farms in several Central American countries, witnessing many of the steps in the production process that most people in the United States never see. But I still didn’t know half of what’s covered in our ultimate coffee guide below because there’s just so much you can do with coffee.
Whether you make coffee at home or order it at a coffee shop — even if you think you’re dead set on your coffee routine — take a minute to read through some of the explainers and guides below. You might realize you’re not properly cleaning your coffee maker, or that there’s a different drink out there that would better suit your tastes!
Regardless of where you’re at in your coffee journey, our Ultimate Coffee Guide can be enlightening.
Be sure to bookmark this page (or “save” it in your Grow account, if you have one!) so you can easily reference it later. Plus, we’ll update this list as we add new coffee content to Food Fanatic so you can easily keep it all in one place!
