    Brian Abernathy, our master roaster and founder at Grumpy Goat Coffee Company, was interviewed for an article that explores cheap vs premium Coffee. Lauren Corona, a food, lifestyle, and commerce writer authored, “Experts Weigh In On The Key Differences Between Cheap Vs Expensive Coffee.

    The detailed article discusses several factors including the two main types of coffee beans, Arabica and Robusta, and how they affect the flavor of coffee.  Several coffee roasting experts contributed to Corona’s article.

    Arabica beans are generally considered to be higher quality and have a more complex flavor, while Robusta beans are more bitter and acidic.

    In fact, Robusta beans are a key ingredient for making coffee blends for espresso which you can learn more about in our article Espresso’s Dark Hidden Secret.

    The article also discusses how growing conditions, processing methods, and sourcing can affect the price of coffee. Beans that are grown at high altitudes and carefully processed tend to be more expensive.

    Still, some coffee is expensive simply due to limited supply and not so much for the superior quality. Jamaica Blue Mountain and Kona Coffee from Hawaii are examples.

    Abernathy is quoted in the article as saying that the quality of the coffee beans is the most important factor in determining the price of coffee.

    He also discusses how the processing method can affect the flavor of coffee.

    For example, wet processing removes the fruit from the coffee bean before it is dried, which results in a brighter, more acidic flavor. Dry processing, on the other hand, leaves the fruit on the bean as it dries, which results in a more full-bodied flavor.

    Overall, the article comparing cheap vs premium coffee suggests that it is worth spending more money on high-quality coffee beans. However, the best type of coffee for you will ultimately depend on your personal preferences.

    We invite you to read all of Abernathy’s comments as well as those from other coffee roasters in the full article at Mashed.com.

    At Grumpy Goat Coffee we are committed to making a wide variety of premium coffee origins available to everyone at an approachable price.

    Benefits of Chlorogenic Acid in Coffee

    What is Chlorogenic Acid and where is it found?
    Chlorogenic acid is a natural compound in many fruits, vegetables, and coffee beans. It is a type of polyphenol, a powerful antioxidant known for its health benefits. One of the primary dietary sources of this antioxidant is the chlorogenic acid in coffee.

    When you drink a cup of coffee, you get not only a caffeine boost but also a dose of chlorogenic acid. This compound is also found in significant amounts in fruits such as apples, pears, and berries, as well as in vegetables like artichokes and sunflower seeds.

    Green coffee beans are a rich natural source of chlorogenic acid. The exact amount can vary depending on factors such as the variety of coffee plant and growing conditions. Still, reports reveal that green coffee beans contain a significant amount of chlorogenic acid, ranging from 5 to 12 percent of their total weight. This high chlorogenic acid content is a primary reason green coffee bean extract has gained attention for its potential health benefits, particularly in human weight management and overall wellness.

    What are the health benefits of Chlorogenic Acid?
    Chlorogenic acid is being studied for its potential health benefits, and research suggests that it may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. It is also being investigated for its potential to support heart health and aid in weight management. One of the critical benefits of chlorogenic acid is its antioxidant activity. Antioxidants help protect the body from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals, which can contribute to aging and various diseases. By neutralizing these free radicals, chlorogenic acid may help reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease and certain types of cancer.

    Additionally, chlorogenic acid has been linked to improved insulin sensitivity and regulation of blood sugar levels, which could make it beneficial for individuals at risk of or diagnosed with diabetes. Some studies have also suggested that chlorogenic acid may help reduce blood pressure and support cardiovascular health. Furthermore, chlorogenic acid may contribute to weight management by impacting how the body processes and utilizes glucose and fat. It is believed to influence metabolism and energy expenditure, potentially aiding in maintaining a healthy weight.

    Another study, published in the “Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry,” investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of chlorogenic acid in human cells. The results showed that chlorogenic acid had potential anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the production of inflammatory molecules.

    How is chlorogenic acid most bioavailable?
    The bioavailability of chlorogenic acid depends on several factors. When it comes to coffee consumption, chlorogenic acid is readily available as it is extracted during the brewing process of roasted coffee beans. It is also released during the steeping method of green coffee beans. However, due to the unknown manufacturing processes used when creating commercial-grade green coffee bean extract that is incorporated into health supplements, it can be very difficult to determine the bioavailability of chlorogenic acid.

    Where to access high-quality coffee beans
    Grumpy Goat believes that consuming small-batch, freshly made green coffee bean extract from organic coffee beans ensures the highest level of Chlorogenic Acid bioavailability. The easiest way to access high-quality coffee bean extract is from a coffee roaster that sources specialty-grade, fully traceable coffee beans. Grumpy Goat Coffee roastery, located in Bonita Springs, Florida, is an excellent example of where you can purchase and enjoy your favorite, freshly roasted, origin of brewed coffee.

    Chlorogenic acid alternatives to roasted coffee
    If you already consume coffee, you get the benefits of polyphenols and chlorogenic acid. However, suppose you are looking to add more Chlorogenic Acid to your diet in more hydrating ways without the flavor of roasted coffee. In that case, we suggest trying GrumpyLyte, Grumpy Goat Coffee’s Green Coffee Bean drinks, available in 16 oz and 64 oz containers.

    green bean extract hydration drink by grumpy goat Chlorogenic acid in coffeeGrumpyLyte is formulated with a green bean coffee extract and several electrolytes such as potassium, vitamin C, and filtered water.

    Several natural flavorings are available, such as Mango, Blackberry, Ginger Lime, and more. GrumpyLyte contains no sugars or artificial sweeteners.

    The absence of artificial sugars provides the added benefit of being better for our environment. Chemical sugars such as sucralose can not be digested and broken down by the human body. As a result, these chemicals are eventually released into our environment.

    Research suggests that these chemical sugars promote the growth of cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) in our waterways. Cyanobacteria depletes oxygen for fish, dolphins, and other water-born organisms.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

    cold brew coffee by grumpy goat

    Cold Brew Coffee Tips

    Cold brew coffee is a solution for coffee lovers looking to make their coffee habit less irritating to their GI tract. Low acid coffee is highly sought after for similar reasons. One of the top questions received at Grumpy Goat Coffee centers around coffee acidity and types of coffee origins and brew methods that can help control coffee acidity.

    1. What is the best way to make cold brew?
    We suggest an 18-24 hour steep with a ratio of 16 oz of coffee to 1.25 gallons of water. If you find that the result lacks flavor, try a longer steep time. Or, adjust your ratio of coffee to water to your personal taste.

    2. If I order whole bean coffee, how coarse of a grind should I request to make my own cold brew?
    Use a coarse grind to make cold brew, like you would for a french press style coffee. A course grind increases the surface area that the coffee can interact with the water to optimize the steeping process.

    3. Is it ok, and tasty, to warm up cold brew to make it hot for morning enjoyment?
    Yes! Warming up your cold brew is perfectly fine.

    4. Does the cold brew process make it have less caffeine – and by about how much?
    Despite your desire to reduce acid intake, we know you still want to enjoy that kick. The good news is that no caffeine is lost during the cold brew process.

    5. What is Nitro Cold Brew?
    Nitro cold brew is essentially regular cold brew that’s been infused with nitrogen, resulting in a creamy, frothy texture from microbubbles and a subtly sweeter flavor, while regular cold brew is simply brewed with cold water and then served.

    Nitro Cold Brew will have the following characteristics:

    Texture:
    Nitrogen gas creates microbubbles that lead to a velvety-smooth, creamy texture, similar to a stout beer, without adding milk or cream.

    Flavor:
    Nitrogen infusion can subtly enhance the flavor of the coffee, potentially reducing bitterness and adding a hint of sweetness.

    Aesthetic:
    The result is a visually appealing beverage with a rich, foamy head and a cascading effect as the nitrogen bubbles rise.

    Preservation:
    Nitrogen can also help preserve coffee flavor by displacing oxygen, which can cause oxidation and lead to a stale taste.

    Mouthfeel:
    The nitrogen bubbles create a light, bubbly mouthfeel, making the coffee feel smoother and more refreshing.

    Feel free to read our article about how the cold brew process yields low acid coffee which dives deeper into the subject.

    One coffee origin that you can depend upon to make your cold brew is Grumpy Goat’s Colombian dark roast. Regardless of the origin you select it is helpful to use one that would make a bigger, bolder cup so that you have enough flavor extracting during the cold water steep.

    Another helpful article to check out is about the difference between iced coffee and cold brew. Iced coffee is made by simply cooling down hot brewed coffee and is not a process that will result in low acid coffee.

    You may email our roaster to order Grumpy Goat cold brew in 16 ounce bottles, half gallon or full gallon sizes.

    What is the Aeropress brewing method

    Are you a coffee lover looking for a new brewing method? Look no further than the Aeropress! This innovative device has quickly become popular in the coffee world. An Aeropress is easy to use, versatile and will produce a delicious cup of coffee.

    The Aeropress was invented by Alan Adler, a Stanford University engineering instructor, in 2005. Its construction consists of two main parts: a plunger and a chamber. To brew coffee with an Aeropress, simply place a filter in the cap, add ground coffee to the chamber, and pour in hot water. After stirring the mixture, insert the plunger and press down to extract the coffee.

    It’s worth noting that the ideal grind for an Aeropress is a medium-fine grind to allow for a balanced extraction. However, this brew method allows for a variety of grind types, so don’t be afraid to experiment. 

    What sets the Aeropress apart from other brewing methods is its versatility. The device allows for several brewing techniques, from a quick and simple brew to a more complex and nuanced cup, depending on the coffee’s origin and roast profile. In addition to its versatility, the apparatus is portable and easy to clean, making it an excellent option for coffee lovers always on the go. Its compact size makes it easily fit into a backpack or suitcase.  An Aeropress is the perfect travel companion for coffee lovers.

    The Aeropress is also a popular choice for coffee cupping competitions thanks to how it produces a clean and nuanced cup of coffee. Its versatility enables a wide range of brewing techniques, which can highlight the unique flavors and aromas of different coffee varieties.

    To get started with the Aeropress, begin by experimenting with different brewing methods. Some popular techniques include the standard method, the inverted method, and the immersion method. Each technique produces a unique flavor profile, so don’t be afraid to try them all and find your favorite.

    In addition to its versatility, the Aeropress can be trusted to produce a clean and smooth cup of coffee. The device uses pressure to extract the coffee, which results in less acidity and bitterness compared to other brewing methods. This makes it a great option for those with sensitive stomachs, gastrointestinal sensitivities and those who prefer a milder cup of coffee.

    Overall, the Aeropress is a very affordable and excellent brewing method for coffee lovers. Its ease of use, versatility, and ability to produce a delicious cup of coffee make it a must-have for any coffee enthusiast. So why not try it and see what all the hype is about?
