Origin

The origin of espresso coffee beans is a fascinating story. The legend states that an 9th century Ethiopian goat-herder named Kaldi discovered the very first coffee plant in his herd and noticed that it had an unique stimulating effect on his herd. He began to feed his animals the fruits of the Coffea arabica plant and they became stronger and healthier, as well as began to become more active. This was the beginning of a drink that is now enjoyed by many all over the world.

Espresso is made by pushing hot water through finely ground coffee beans. The resulting brew is rich and concentrated with a layer of smooth, tight bubbles referred to as crema. This is the hallmark of a fantastic espresso drink, and has spawned a whole culture around the drink.

Espresso is not only popular in cafes however, it is also a possibility to make at home.

It is more time consuming than just buying a coffee from the shop, but it's worth it in terms of taste and quality.

It is crucial to select the right coffee beans for your espresso to ensure a luscious and delicious coffee. Although many people use regular coffee beans to make espresso, it isn't recommended since they are roasted differently and ground differently and this can result in an extremely bitter or weak coffee.

We sell espresso coffee beans in 1kg bags that are ground and roasted specifically for espresso brewing. You'll get an excellent cup of coffee every time. We only purchase Arabica and Robusta coffee beans from farms that adhere to sustainable agriculture and high ethical standards. This unique coffee comes from the Colombian region Huila, which is renowned for its fertile valleys, snow-capped mountains and soil that has been enriched with minerals over time.

Roast

Roasting is the process that transforms raw green beans into the coffee we drink. The roasting process is responsible for the coffee's taste, colour, and aroma. The roasting process is a precise science that requires skill and experience to control the temperature of the flame so that the beans don't overheat and become dark, bitter or oily.

While roasting, the beans can lose up to one fifth of their water. They also increase in size. The beans will also begin to release carbon dioxide, which causes them expand and crack. This is known as the 1st Crack. The 1st Crack is the point at which sugars begin to caramelize and bound up water begins to escape. It's also the time that the structure of the bean is broken, allowing oils to escape from their pockets inside the seed. This is a crucial stage when roasting and should you rush the process and the coffee will end up being damaged.

A full-bodied, well-roasted coffee will have an elegant and balanced flavor. It will have a strong aftertaste, with minimal sourness while retaining the original character of bean. This is achieved by roasting beans until they're a medium brown color and have lost the majority of their moisture.

After roasting the seeds and cooled, it is crucial to cool them down as quickly as you can to prevent them from continuing to roast. This will release more carbon dioxide. Depending on how they are cooled and the speed that they are finished they may end in a light roast, medium roast or a dark roast.

Espresso coffee is usually made up of various beans. This is because while single origin beans are fantastic for certain brewing methods espresso requires the use of a variety of bean varieties to create the rich complex flavours it is renowned for.

To make the finest espresso, it is recommended that you purchase a top-quality espresso machine. The top machines will have an additional water tank to drink the espresso as well as a larger capacity boiler, which allows for quicker heating. The water tank must be filled with clean, cold water to maximize the extraction quality.

Dose and Yield

One gram of ground coffee is used to make one shot of espresso. This means that the ratio of ground coffee to liquid espresso must be equal to or less than 1:2. The exact ratio will depend on the density of your particular beans. Certain coffees have more volume by weight than others when ground to the same size, this is why a precise scale is so important!

The temperature of the brew will also determine how you utilize your coffee beans. The ideal temperature is between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because the flavour compounds from your beans are extracted optimally within this range. A temperature that is higher or lower can alter the texture, flavour, and thickness of crema, as well as the consistency and quantity of extraction.

There is always a compromise between strong coffee and rich flavor. The more you extract, the more powerful it will be, but that also increases the possibility of bitterness and sourness. It is tempting to make up for this by using recipes that have a high yield. But, when you increase the number of ingredients, you also increase the amount of water that flows through the grinds. This is important and can mean that more flavour is lost.

The dose is the most flexible control, but numerous other factors influence the strength of the espresso. The most important of these is the ratio as well as your grinder's precision and the size of your portafilter and the speed at which you take the shot.

A longer ratio (less than 1:2) will result in an intense, balanced espresso that has a delicious mouthfeel. A smaller ratio will produce a more intense but less balanced espresso. The trick is to find the ideal balance for your taste. You can do this by playing with the dosage and altering the ratio according to your preferred intensity and flavour payoff.

Brewing

Espresso beans are roasted finer than regular coffee beans, and single origin brewed under higher pressure. This produces a stronger, more concentrated shot of coffee that has stronger aromas and flavors. Espresso is used to make cappuccinos, lattes and other coffee drinks which are typically made using milk. Espresso is sometimes used in baking or as a garnish on desserts that contain coffee or chocolate.

Espresso coffee can be made with different methods of brewing, including Turkish coffee, French press, cold drip, and brew. The method of brewing you choose will depend on your personal preferences 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 coffee drinks, however they are best reserved for drinks that contain espresso. Espresso beans are roasted longer and usually go past the second crack. This gives them the appearance of toasted, darker, single origin and more intense taste. Espresso beans are also cooked with higher levels of volatile substances like trigonelline 2 as well as chlorogenic acids 4 that contribute to the body and bitterness of espresso.

Although it is technically possible however the result may not be as desired. Espresso beans are roasted for particular flavours, like chocolatey and fruity, which is difficult to replicate by using different roasts.

When making espresso, the key is to get a great crema. This is a rich thin layer of coffee foam that reaches the surface of the coffee when it is extracted under high pressure. A great crema is a sign that you have incorporated the required basic inputs from your coffee beans grinding machine, grinder, resistance to the coffee bed and water temperature to create a great espresso.

The quality of the coffee beans is crucial to achieving a great, creamy crema. The ideal espresso beans are those that have been roasted to medium or dark roast, and that have been grinded as fine as they can be. They must also be fresh since whole beans will preserve their flavor and taste longer than pre-ground varieties. Additionally, it is essential to keep your beans in a sealed container that is protected from moisture and heat.
