A excellent espresso requires a mix of coffee beans suited to the style of drink. While normal medium or light roast beans can be used to make espresso, they may release tasting notes that are not appropriate for the drink.

The top espresso beans are smooth and have a subtle taste with a rich crema. They also have less caffeine than drip-style espresso.

Origin

The story of the origins of espresso coffee beans has a fascinating twist. According to legend the 9th century saw an Ethiopian Goat-herder named Kaldi discovered the first coffee bean 1kg plant among his goats. He noticed its unique energizing effects on his goats. He began to feed his animals the fruits of the Coffea arabica plant, and they grew stronger and healthier, as well as began to become more active. This was the start of a wonderful drink, one which is now enjoyed by people across the world.

Espresso is made by pushing hot water through finely crushed coffee beans. The resulting brew is rich and concentrated, with a layer on top of tight, smooth bubbles known as crema. This is the signature of a good espresso cup and has created a culture around the drink.

Espresso is popular not only in cafes, but can also be made at home. You can get the perfect cup of coffee each time by purchasing the proper equipment and roasting beans yourself. It may take a bit longer than buying coffee from the store but the quality and flavor are worth it.

Choosing the right coffee beans for espresso is crucial to ensure that your brew will be rich and delicious. Many people prefer regular coffee beans to make their espresso, this is not recommended since they are roasted differently and ground in a different way, and this can lead to a very weak or bitter brew.

We only purchase Arabica and Robusta coffee beans from farms committed to sustainable farming and high ethical standards. We offer this specialty coffee from the Colombian region of Huila that is famous for its fertile valleys and snow-capped volcanoes that have enhanced the soil with minerals over the years.

Roast

Roasting is the process that turns raw green beans into the coffee we drink. The roasting process is also responsible for the coffee's taste, colour, and aroma. The roasting process requires a great deal of skill and experience to control the temperature so that the beans do not burn or become bitter.

During the roasting process the beans lose some of their moisture and expand by as much as a fifth. The beans 1kg also begin to release carbon dioxide which causes them expand and crack. This is referred to as the 1st Crack. The first crack marks the point at which sugars begin to caramelize, and bound water starts to escape and the structure of the bean breaks down allowing oils to migrate from their little pockets in the seed. This is an important step in the roasting and If you rush it, the coffee will be destroyed.

A well-roasted, full-bodied coffee will have an even and smooth profile. It will have a mild sourness and a strong aftertaste preserving the origin character of the bean. This is achieved by roasting beans until they turn a medium brown and have lost most of their moisture.

After the seeds are roasted after which they must be cool down as quickly as they can to stop them continuing to cook and release more carbon dioxide. The final outcome will depend on the speed of roasting and how quickly they are cooled.

Espresso coffee is typically a blend. This is because while single origin beans are excellent for specific brewing methods espresso requires an assortment of different bean varieties to create the complex and rich flavors it is known for.

To get the best espresso, it is recommended that you purchase a top-quality espresso machine. The best machines have a separate tank for espresso and a boiler with a higher capacity that enables faster heating. To increase the quality of extraction ensure that the water tank is filled with fresh, cold water.

Dose and Yield

A single shot of espresso is produced by pushing one gram of ground coffee through the brewing process. The ratio of espresso liquid to ground coffee should be less than or equal to 1:2. The exact ratio will depend on the density of the beans. Certain coffees are heavier than others when ground to the same size. This is why a precision scale can be extremely useful!

The temperature of the brewing process will impact how you use your beans. The ideal temperature is between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This is due to the fact that the flavour compounds in your beans are optimally extracted in this range. A higher or lower temperature can alter the texture, flavor and thickness of crema, as well as the consistency and amount of extraction.

There will always be a trade off between extracting your coffee to an extremely strong strength and also having a rich taste. The more you extract the stronger it will be, but that also increases the chance of bitterness and bitterness and. You might be tempted to offset this by making recipes that have an excellent yield. When you increase the multiplier, you also increase the amount of water that flows through the grinds. This is crucial and could result in more flavor being lost.

Dose is the most flexible lever of control, however there are many other elements that play a part in the strength of your espresso. The ratio is the primary factor, as is the accuracy of your grinder, the size and speed of your portafilter, and the speed at which you take your shot.

A longer ratio (less than 1:2) will result in a balanced, intense espresso with a sweet mouthfeel. A lower ratio will result in a more intense but less balanced espresso. Finding the right balance is crucial. You can achieve this by altering the ratio and playing with the dosage according to the intensity and taste you like.

Brewing

Espresso beans are roasted finer than regular coffee beans, and brewed with more pressure. This results in a more powerful espresso, with more intense flavors and aromas. Espresso is used to make lattes, cappuccinos and other coffee drinks that are typically made with milk. Espresso is sometimes used in baking, or as a garnish for chocolate or coffee-based desserts.

Espresso coffee can be prepared with a number of different methods of brewing, including drip coffee, Turkish coffee, cold brew, and French press. The type of brewing method you choose depends on your personal preferences as well as the equipment for brewing coffee you have. Try different methods and ingredients will aid you in finding the perfect cup of espresso.

Espresso beans can be used in other drinks made with coffee, but they are most suitable to make espresso-based drinks. Espresso beans are roasted for longer generally past the second crack. This gives them more dark, toasted and more intense flavor. Espresso beans are often roasted at higher levels of volatile compounds like trigonelline 2 as well as chlorogenic acids 4, which contribute to the body and bitterness of espresso.

While it is technically possible to make espresso from any type of coffee bean that has been roasted but this will not produce the desired results. Espresso beans are roasted for specific flavours, such as fruity and chocolatey, that is difficult to replicate by using different roasts.

The most important thing to make espresso is to get a great crema. This is a dense, thick layer of coffee foam that rises to the surface of the coffee as it is extracted under a high pressure. A great crema is a sign that you have incorporated the required fundamental inputs of your coffee beans grinding machine, grinder, resistance to the coffee bed and the temperature of your water to make the perfect espresso.

The most important factor for achieving a good crema is the quality of your beans. The most ideal espresso beans are ones that have been roasting to medium or dark roast and have been ground as fine as possible. They must also be fresh because whole beans retain their taste and flavour for longer than pre-ground varieties. Lastly, it is important to keep your beans in a sealed container, away from heat and moisture.
