While normal middle or light roast beans are also used to make espresso, the taste may not be right for the. The finest espresso beans are smooth and nuanced with an intense crema. They also have less caffeine than drip-style coffee. Origin The origin story of espresso coffee beans is fascinating with a twist. According to legend, a 9th century Ethiopian goat-herder named Kaldi discovered the very first coffee plant in his herd and noticed that it had a unique positive effect on his livestock. He began to feed his herd these fruits of the Coffea arabica plant, and they became stronger, healthier, and started to become more active. This was the start of a fantastic drink, one which is now enjoyed by people all over the world. The coffee we know as espresso is created by forcing hot water under pressure over a bed of finely ground coffee beans. The resulting brew is rich and concentrated, with a layer on top of smooth, tight bubbles, referred to as crema. This is the signature of an excellent espresso cup and has created a culture around the drink. Espresso isn't just popular in cafes but it is also a possibility to make at home.

It is essential to choose the right coffee beans for your espresso to ensure a luscious and delicious coffee. Many people prefer regular coffee beans to make espresso, it isn't recommended as they are roasted differently and ground in a different way, and this can lead to the most bitter or weak coffee. We offer espresso coffee beans in 1kg bags which are roasted and ground specifically for espresso brewing. You will enjoy a delicious cup of coffee each time. We only purchase Arabica and Robusta coffee beans from farms committed to sustainable farming and high ethical standards. We offer this speciality coffee from the Colombian region of Huila that is famous for its fertile valleys and snow-capped volcanoes that have enriched its soil with minerals over the years. Roast Roasting is the process that transforms raw green beans into the coffee we drink. The roasting process is also responsible for the coffee's flavour color, aroma, and colour. The roasting process is a precise science that requires skill and experience to control the temperature of the fire to ensure that the beans don't get burned and turn dark bitter or oily. During roasting, the beans may lose up to a fifth of their moisture. They also increase in size. The beans will also begin to release carbon dioxide which causes them to expand and crack. This is referred to as the 1st Crack. The first crack is the point at which sugars begin to caramelize, and bound water begins to leak out and the structure of the bean breaks down, allowing oils to flow out of their tiny pockets within the seed. It is a critical point in the roasting process and If it is not done properly the coffee could be destroyed. A well-roasted, full-bodied and robust coffee will have an elegant and balanced flavor. It will be mildly sour and a strong aftertaste while keeping the original flavor of the beans. This is accomplished by roasting beans until they turn to a medium brown and have lost a lot of their moisture. Once the seeds have been roasted after which they must be cool down as quickly as they can to stop them from continuing to roast and release more carbon dioxide. Based on how they're cooling and the speed at which they are done they could end in a light roast, medium roast or a dark roast. Espresso coffee is typically blended with different beans. This is because, while single origin beans are excellent for specific brewing methods espresso requires the use of a variety of bean varieties to give the complex and rich flavors it is known for. To make the best espresso it is recommended you purchase a top-quality espresso machine. The best machines have separate tanks for espresso and an electric boiler with a greater capacity that enables rapid heating. The water tank must be filled with clean, cool water to maximise the extraction quality. Dose and Yield One shot of espresso is created by pushing one gram ground coffee through the brewing process. This means that the ratio of ground coffee to liquid espresso has to be equal to or less than 1:2. The precise ratio is dependent on the density of your specific beans. Certain coffees have more volume by weight than others when ground to the same size, hence why using a precision scale is so important! The temperature of the brew will influence how you use your coffee beans. The ideal range is between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because the flavor compounds in your beans are best extracted within this range. A higher or lower temperature will affect the rate, amount and consistency of extraction and also the texture, taste and thickness of your crema. There is always the choice between extracting your coffee to an extremely strong strength and also having a rich taste. The more you extract it, the more powerful it will be however, it also increases the possibility of bitterness and bitterness and. You might be tempted to offset this by using recipes with high yields. However, when you increase the multiple you are also increasing the amount of water that passes through the grinds. This is significant and usually means that more of your flavor is being lost or diluted. The dose is the most flexible control, however there are many other factors that affect the intensity of the espresso. The most important factor is the ratio and also the precision of your grinder, the size of your portafilter and the speed with which you take the shot. A longer ratio (less that 1:2) will yield a balanced, intense espresso that has a delicious mouthfeel. On the other hand, a shorter ratio will produce more intense but less balanced espresso. The key is finding the ideal balance for your taste. You can achieve this by changing the ratio and playing around with the amount depending on the intensity and taste you prefer. Brewing Espresso beans are ground more finely than regular coffee beans and brewed using greater pressure. This results in a stronger and more concentrated shot of coffee that has richer flavors and aromas. Espresso is used in a variety coffee recipes, including cappuccinos and lattes, which are usually made with milk. Espresso is often used in baking, or as coffee beans offer for desserts that contain coffee or chocolate. Espresso coffee can be made using various methods of brewing, including Turkish coffee, French press, cold drip, and brew. The type of brewing method you select will be based on your personal preference and the equipment you've got. You will find the perfect espresso by trying different methods of brewing and ingredients. It is possible to use espresso beans for other drinks made with coffee, but they are best reserved for espresso-based beverages. Espresso beans are roasted for longer, usually beyond the second crack. This results in the appearance of toasted, darker, and a more intense flavor. Additionally, espresso beans are often roasting with higher levels volatile compounds like chlorogenic acids 4 and trigonelline 2, which contribute to the body, bitterness and flavor of espresso. Although it is technically feasible to make espresso using any kind of coffee bean that has been roasted, this would not yield the desired results. This is due to the fact that espresso beans are roasted to produce distinct flavors, like chocolatey or fruity, which can be difficult to duplicate with other roasts. When making espresso, the most important thing is to get a great crema. It is a thick, rich layer of coffee foam that rises to the top of the coffee when it's extracted under high pressure. A great crema indicates that you have combined all the essential ingredients including your coffee beans, grinder, and resistance in the coffee bed, to create a great coffee. The quality of the coffee beans is crucial to creating a smooth creamy crema. The most ideal espresso beans are those that have been roasted to medium or dark roast and that have been ground as fine as possible. Freshness is also important because whole beans preserve their flavour and taste longer than ground varieties. It is also important to store beans in a sealed container away from heat and moisture.
