Espresso Coffee Beans 1kg An excellent espresso is created by blending a variety of coffees that are suited to its style. While normal medium or light roast beans can be used to make espresso, they can release tasting notes that aren't appropriate for the beverage. The best espresso beans are smooth and nuanced with rich crema. They also contain less caffeine than drip-style coffee. Origin The origins of espresso coffee beans is an intriguing story. According to legend, a 9th century Ethiopian Goat-herder named Kaldi discovered the first coffee plant among his goats and noticed its unique energizing effect on his goats. He began feeding his herd the fruits of the Coffea plant and they grew stronger, healthier and more active. This was the beginning of a wonderful drink, one that is now consumed by people all over the world. Espresso is created by forcing hot water through finely crushed coffee beans. The resulting brew is rich in flavor and highly concentrated with a layer of smooth tight bubbles on top called the crema. This is the hallmark of a great espresso and it has created a whole culture around the beverage. Espresso is not only popular in cafes, but it can also be prepared at home. By purchasing the right equipment and roasting your own beans will help you make the perfect cup every time. The process is a little more time-consuming than buying a coffee at the shop, but it's worth the effort in terms of quality and taste. Buying the right type of coffee beans for espresso is essential to ensure that the brew will be rich and delicious. Although many people use regular coffee beans to make their espresso, this is not recommended as they are roasted differently and ground in a different way, and this can lead to a very weak or bitter brew. The espresso coffee beans we sell are specifically roasted and ground for the espresso brewing method. They will provide you with an outstanding cup of coffee every day every time. We only source the best quality Arabica and Robusta beans from farms that adhere to sustainable farming practices and ethical standards. We offer this speciality coffee from the Colombian region of Huila which is renowned 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 coffee that we drink. The roasting process is also responsible for the coffee's taste, colour, and aroma. The roasting process is a very precise science that requires skill and experience to control the temperature of the fire so that the beans don't overheat and become dark, bitter or oily. While roasting, the beans can lose up a fifth of their moisture. They also expand in size. They will also start to release carbon dioxide that causes the beans to expand and crack and this is known as the 1st crack. The 1st crack marks the moment when sugars begin to caramelize, bound up water begins to leak out and the structure of the bean breaks down, allowing oils to flow from their tiny pockets in the seed. It is a critical moment in the roasting process and if rushed, the coffee can be destroyed. A well-roasted coffee will be rich and full of flavor with a smooth, balanced profile. It will have minimal sourness and a strong aftertaste, while keeping the original flavor of the beans. This is achieved by roasting beans until they're a medium brown color and have lost the majority of their moisture. Once the seeds have been roast and cooled, they need to be cooled down as fast as is possible to stop them from continuing to roast and release more carbon dioxide. The final result will depend on the speed of roasting and how quickly they cool. Coffee labelled as 'espresso' is usually blended with different beans. While single origin beans work well for brewing techniques, the rich flavours of espresso require a blend of various bean varieties. To make the finest espresso it is recommended that you invest in a top quality espresso machine. The best machines will include a separate water tank for the espresso and a larger capacity boiler that allows for faster heating. The water tank should be filled with fresh, cold water to maximize the extraction quality. Dose & Yield One gram of ground coffee is used to create one shot of espresso. This means that the ratio of ground coffee to liquid espresso has to be less or equal to than 1:2. The exact ratio is determined by the density of the beans. Some coffees occupy more volume by weight than others when ground to the same size – this is why a precise scale is crucial! The temperature of the brewing process will impact how you use your beans. The ideal range is between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This is due to the fact that the flavour compounds of your beans are optimally extracted within this range. A higher or lower temperature will affect the rate, amount and consistency of extraction and also the texture, taste and the thickness of your crema. There will always be an equilibrium between brewing your coffee to the highest strength and tasting rich. The more you extract, the stronger your coffee will be. However this can also increase the chance of bitterness and sourness. You might be tempted to make up for this by using recipes with a high yield. As you increase the multiplier, you increase the amount of water passing 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 other factors that influence the strength of your espresso. The ratio is the primary factor, along with the accuracy of your grinder as well as the size and speed of your portafilter and the speed at which you pull your shot. A longer ratio (less than 1:2) will yield a balanced, intense espresso with a smooth mouthfeel. A smaller ratio will produce a more intense however less balanced espresso. Finding the right balance is essential. Coffeee can achieve this by changing the ratio and experimenting with the dose according to the intensity and flavor you prefer. Brewing Espresso beans are ground finer than regular coffee beans and brewed at more pressure. This results in a stronger shot of coffee, with more intense flavors and aromas. Espresso is used to make lattes, cappuccinos and other drinks made from coffee that are typically made with milk. It can also be mixed with other kinds of coffee in baking, or used as a garnish for desserts that are based on coffee or chocolate. Espresso coffee can be prepared by using a variety of brewing methods including drip coffee, Turkish coffee, cold brew, and French press. The type of brewing technique you select will be based on your personal preferences and the equipment you have. Try different methods and ingredients will aid you in finding the perfect cup of espresso. Espresso beans can be used to make other coffee drinks but they are best suited to make espresso-based drinks. This is due to the fact that espresso beans are roasted for longer in most cases, up to and past the second crack, which gives them a much darker, toasted and more intense flavor. Additionally, espresso beans are often roasting with higher levels volatile compounds such as trigonelline and trigonelline 2, which are responsible for the body, bitterness and aroma of espresso. Although it is technically feasible to make espresso using any kind of coffee bean roasted but this will not produce the desired results. This is due to the fact that espresso beans are roasted in order to produce distinct flavors, like chocolatey or fruity, which can be difficult to replicate using other roasts. When making espresso, the most important thing is to achieve a good crema. This is a rich, thick layer of coffee foam that reaches the surface of the coffee when it is extracted under a high pressure. A well-formed crema is an indication that you've incorporated all the necessary inputs, such as your grinder, coffee beans and resistance in the coffee bed, to create a top-quality coffee. The most important factor for creating a perfect crema is the quality of your beans. The finest espresso beans are those which have been roast at a medium-to dark roast and ground as finely as you can. They must also be fresh since whole beans will preserve their flavor and taste longer than ground varieties. It is also important to keep beans in a sealed container away from moisture and heat.
