What Makes a Coffee “Specialty”?

To the avid coffee drinker, specialty coffee is the ultimate treat at the end of a long hard day. While the term “specialty coffee” is used to described expensive brands, it relates to the grade of the coffee bean. 

The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) holds the scale standards for specialty coffee. All coffee beans are graded on a 100-point scale in respect to their quality. Beans ranging from 80 to 100 are considered specialty coffee beans. 

Specialty coffee gained popularity in the 1970s. Before that, specialty coffee was reserved for hotels and restaurants that imported the coffee from Guatemala as far back as the early 1900s.

Health Benefits of Specialty Coffee

The following benefits have been found with consumption of specialty coffee of the highest grades.

Helps You Burn Fat

Caffeine is a common ingredient in fat-reducing supplements to increase the body’s rate to burn fat. As the body’s adrenaline levels rise with any form of caffeine consumption, the fat tissues release fatty acids at a faster rate.

Improves Physical Performance

These free fatty acids are used as “fuel” for our body thereby improving physical performance. With caffeine, the nervous system is stimulated helping to release fat cells and increasing the adrenaline levels.

Contains Several Important Nutrients

For energy and blood cell communication, we are required to have a high number of antioxidants such as folic acid, vitamins B2, B5, B1, and B3, all which are found in coffee.

Roasted By Hand

Hand roasting refers to the processing of the coffee beans in small batches to obtain the best profile of the specialty coffee.

Boosts Energy Levels

The effects of caffeine on the brain are evident with an improvement of energy, memory, mood, cognitive function, and reaction time.

Improves Metabolism and Helps with Weight Loss

Adrenaline levels has a direct effect on metabolism. Caffeine is credited with reducing fat by increasing energy levels and burning fat cells with a superior metabolism rate.

Helps to Reduce Stress Levels

Specialty coffee drinkers have a clear understanding of the effects of caffeine amount on their internal systems. Balancing the right amount of caffeine can help lower stress levels.
