The right espresso is the only thing capable of brightening up dreary mornings. That fresh scent wafting through first thing is a great wake up call, and the right espresso can really be the jolt needed to start the day fresh.

With that in mind, using the right blend or single origin is absolutely essential if you want a quality cup of coffee in the morning, and should be smooth, full of richness and flavor with the right notes to suit your palette.

Finding the right blend is difficult enough, as is ensuring that you are in possession of fair trade coffee beans that you can vouch for. The best way to confirm that though, and to verify that you are using the right products is to work with a specialty roaster for your beans or pre-ground coffee.

Speciality roasters have immense experience in identifying the right blends and bringing out its best flavors. There is a certain amount of chemistry and science that goes into taking these plain green beans and transforming them into a rich and flavorful roast.

But how do you find the right specialty roaster? It is a careful process that might require a bit of research, but it is well worth the rewards – especially when it comes to coffee. You could ask about the kind of equipment they use, whether they pre-roast or roast to order and what kind of flavor profiles they use and why.

Speciality roasters will also be able to provide you with a range of options for fair trade and organic, freshly roast and ground espresso and can vouch for their quality and growth. The benefit of working with a specialty roaster is that they are able to serve you throughout the process – from espresso beans to the pre-ground espresso and provide quality service throughout.
