Description

Coffee beans in adverts are usually shown as dark and glossy but in this episode we discover why  shiny  - or in other words, oily - coffee beans are not actually likely to taste that great and why they are frankly best avoided. Find out what the shiny appearance of the beans can tell you about a coffee before you even take a sip. If you are stuck with a bag of oily beans we have some brewing tips that will help take the edge off its less palatable flavours. This week’s FACQ answers the intriguing question of whether coffee ever goes ‘off’?
