Origin

The origin of espresso coffee beans is a fascinating tale. According to legend that a 9th century Ethiopian Goat-herder named Kaldi found the first coffee plant among his goats and noticed its unique energizing effect on his goats. He began feeding his livestock the fruits of the Coffea plant and they grew stronger and healthier as well as more active. This was the beginning of a beverage that is enjoyed by people across the globe.

Espresso is made by pushing hot water through finely ground coffee beans. The brew that is produced is thick and concentrated, with a layer of tight, smooth bubbles, referred to as crema. This is the hallmark of a great espresso drink and has created a culture around the drink.

Espresso isn't just popular in cafes, but it can also be prepared at home. Making sure you have the appropriate equipment and roasting your own beans will help you get that perfect cup every time. The process is a little longer than buying a coffee from the shop, but it's worth it in terms of quality and taste.

It is essential to choose the best coffee beans for your espresso to ensure a smooth and delicious brew. Many people use regular coffee to make espresso. This is not recommended since they are roasted and ground differently, which could result in a bitter or weak coffee.

The espresso coffee beans we sell are specifically ground and roasted for the espresso brewing method. They will provide you with the best cup of coffee each and every time. We only purchase Arabica and Robusta coffee beans from farms that are committed to sustainable agriculture and high ethical standards. We offer this unique coffee from the Colombian region of Huila that is known for its fertile valleys and snow-capped mountains that have enriched the soil with minerals over time.

Roast

Roasting is the process that turns raw green beans into the coffee that we drink. It also gives the coffee its flavour color, aroma and colour. The roasting process requires a lot of skill and experience to regulate the temperature so that the beans don't burn or become bitter.

During roasting, the beans can lose up 55% of their moisture. They also expand in size. The beans also begin to release carbon dioxide which causes them expand and crack. This is called the 1st Crack. The 1st Crack is at which sugars begin to caramelize and bound up water begins to escape. It's also the moment that the structure of the bean is broken, allowing oils to escape from their pockets within the seeds. This is a crucial stage in the roasting process, and when done in a hurry it could result in the coffee being ruined.

A coffee that is well-roasted will be rich and full of flavor with a smooth, balanced profile. It will have a distinct aftertaste, with minimal sourness but still retains the essence of bean. This is achieved by roasting beans 1kg until they turn a medium brown and have lost the majority of their moisture.

After the seeds have been roast, they must be cooled down as quickly as they can to stop them from continuing to cook and release more carbon dioxide. Depending on the method by which they are cool and the speed at which they're done, they will either end up as a light roast, a medium roast, or a dark roast.

Coffee labelled as 'espresso' is usually made up of various beans. This is due to the fact that while single origin beans are excellent for specific brewing techniques, espresso demands an assortment of different bean varieties to create the rich complex flavours it is known for.

It is recommended to buy a high-end espresso machine to brew the best espresso. The top machines include an extra water tank for the espresso as well as a larger capacity boiler that allows for faster heating. To ensure the highest quality extraction, fill the water tank with cold, fresh water.

Dose & Yield

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

lavazza-qualita-rossa-coffee-beans-with-The temperature of the brew can determine how you utilize your coffee beans. The ideal range is between the 195-205 degree Fahrenheit range. This is because the flavour compounds in your beans are best extracted within this temperature range. A temperature that is higher or lower can alter the rate, volume and consistency of extraction, as well as the texture, flavor and thickness of your crema.

There is always a compromise between a strong coffee and a rich flavor. The more you extract, the stronger the coffee will be. However, this also increases the risk for bitterness and bitterness and. It is tempting to make up for this by making recipes that have a high yield. When you increase the multiplier, you increase the amount of water flowing through the grinds. This is crucial and could cause more flavour to be lost.

The dose is the most flexible control, but many other factors affect the strength of the espresso. The most important one is the ratio and also the precision of your grinder, the size of your portafilter and the speed with the speed at which you push the shot.

A longer ratio (less than 1:2) will produce an intense, balanced espresso that has a delicious mouthfeel. On the other hand, a lower ratio will produce a more intense but less balanced espresso. The trick is to find the ideal balance for your taste. You can achieve this by altering the ratio and experimenting with the dose depending on the intensity and flavour you like.

Brewing

Espresso beans are ground finer than regular coffee beans and brewed under more pressure. This results in a stronger espresso, with more intense aromas and flavors. Espresso is used in a variety coffee recipes like cappuccinos as well as lattes, which are typically made with milk. Espresso is often used in baking or as a garnish on desserts that contain coffee or chocolate.

The method of brewing you choose depends on your individual preferences and the coffee brewing equipment you have available. Experimenting with different brewing techniques and ingredients can help you find the perfect espresso.

Espresso beans can be used for other coffee drinks, but they are most suitable to make espresso-based drinks. This is due to the fact that espresso beans are roasted for a longer, usually up to and past the second crack, giving them a darker, toasted and more intense flavor. Espresso beans are often cooked with higher levels of volatile substances like trigonelline 2 as well as chlorogenic acids 4, which contribute to the bitterness and body of espresso.

Although it is technically possible to make espresso from any type of coffee bean roasted, this would not yield the desired results. Espresso beans are roasted for particular flavours, like chocolatey and fruity, which can be difficult to reproduce with other roasts.

The key to making espresso is achieving a good crema. This is a thick, rich layer of coffee foam that rises to the top of the coffee when it is extracted under high pressure. A good crema is a sign you have incorporated all the fundamental inputs of your coffee beans grinding machine, grinder, resistance to the coffee bed, and water temperature to create an excellent espresso.

The most important aspect for creating a perfect crema is the quality of your beans. The most ideal espresso beans are ones that have been roasting to a medium or dark roast, and have been grinded as fine as they can be. They must also be fresh, because whole beans retain their flavor and taste for longer than ground varieties. It is also essential to keep beans in a sealed airtight container away from heat and moisture.
