Many thing! Chief among those is the kind of bean that is used.

When we talk about gourmet coffee beans, there are quite a few things that can help you decide what is gourmet…

According to the Specialty coffee Association of America (SCAA), any coffee which scores above 80 points on a scale of 100 based on certain essential and wanted characteristics will be considered as Specialty or gourmet coffee.

For other connoisseurs, any coffee made wholly out of Arabica and not the poorer quality Robusta will qualify as Gourmet or specialty coffee.

Finally to the most people gourmet is simply what they have chosen to call so. A lot simpler and in my opinion the best definition! This does not necessarily has to be the freshly grounded coffee from the hills of Latin America, in fact it can simply be the coffee being sold across the street in the small mom and pop store/shop which is as gourmet as coffee can ever get.

Clearly drinking coffee qualifies as an experience rather than a necessity (for some at least!) and thus everyone is entitled to their opinion. However it wont hurt to learn a few important things about your favorite beverage and seeing what else is out there and what else people like.

If you really want to start then you can try some of the prominent and reputed sources of gourmet coffee beans such as Folgers, Good scents, Sumatra Mandheling, and Blue Mountain Jamaica which have been into the gourmet coffee business for some time now.
