Making your own coffee is a good way to save time and money in the morning. With a good coffee maker and high-quality coffee grounds, you can make drinks that are just as good as anything you can find in a cafe. When browsing the coffee aisle at your local grocery store, you'll have your pick of many choices. Here are four reasons to enjoy Colombian coffee as your go-to cup of joe.

1. Buy your coffee in bulk.

If you're a coffee-lover, you may be disappointed by how quickly you run out of coffee. Running to the grocery store every week and be a drag, and purchasing 8-ounce or 10-ounce bags of coffee can quickly become expensive. Fortunately, you can buy Colombian coffee in bulk. A 2-pound bag of whole bean Colombian coffee is large enough to serve a large family. People who live alone can take advantage of bulk bags of coffee, too. Colombian coffee can be stored in the freezer until you're ready to use it, with no degradation of its flavor.

2. Enjoy a smooth, low-acid coffee.

People who think they don't like coffee simply may not have had the right coffee. The flavor of coffee changes depending on the beans used to make it, and coffee beans take on various flavors based on the soil they are grown in. Colombian coffee is mild and less acidic than coffees grown elsewhere. Many people find that they can enjoy Colombian coffee with minimal additives, even if they typically dress their coffee up with sugar and cream. Colombian coffee is smooth and mild enough to be enjoyed black.

3. Create espresso drinks at home.

Espresso is a type of strong coffee that is brewed by forcing hot water through coffee grounds using high pressure. Since espresso is so strong, a little goes a long way. Many people choose to enjoy their espresso with milk in the form of lattes or cappuccinos. Luckily, you can make your own espresso drinks at home using Colombian coffee. To create your own espresso, you'll need to grind your whole Colombian beans more finely than you would for drip coffee. Then, you can place your coffee grounds in a portafilter or stovetop espresso maker to have strong, rich espresso in minutes.

4. Make coffee-flavored confections.

You can also use Colombian coffee to make coffee-flavored confections like ice cream, pudding, and cake. Adding some coffee grounds or cold coffee to your favorite recipes can give your desserts a rich, dark flavor that adults will love. Using high-quality coffee in your recipes will yield the best results.
