Espresso Coffee Beans 1kg A good espresso requires a blend of beans that are suited to the style of drink. While medium or light roast beans can be used to make espresso, they can release tasting notes that are not suitable for the drink. The finest espresso beans are smooth and nuanced, with a a rich 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 first coffee plant among his goats and noticed its unique energizing effect on his goats. He began feeding his animals the fruits of the Coffea plant, and they became stronger, healthier and more active. This was the beginning of a great beverage, one which is now enjoyed by people across the world. Espresso is created by forcing hot water through finely ground coffee beans. The brew produced is rich and concentrated with a layer of tight, smooth bubbles, referred to as crema. This is the hallmark of a great espresso and has spawned a whole culture around the beverage. Espresso is not just a popular drink in cafes but can also be made at home. You can get the perfect cup of coffee every time by investing in the right equipment and roasting beans yourself. The process is more time consuming than just buying a coffee from the shop, but it's worth the effort in terms of quality and flavor. It is crucial to select the best coffee beans for your espresso to ensure a luscious and delicious drink. Many people prefer regular coffee beans to make espresso, this isn't recommended since they are roasted differently and ground differently and this can result in a very weak or bitter the brew. The espresso coffee beans we offer are specially ground and roasted for the espresso brewing process and will provide you with an outstanding cup of coffee each and every time. We only purchase Arabica and Robusta coffee beans from farms that adhere to sustainable agriculture and high 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 The process of roasting transforms raw, green beans into the coffee we drink. It also gives the coffee its flavour color, aroma and colour. The process of roasting requires a lot of expertise and experience in order to regulate the temperature so that the beans don't burn or become bitter. While roasting, the beans may lose up to a fifth of their moisture. They also expand in size. They will also start to release carbon dioxide which causes them to expand and crack – this is known as the 1st crack. The 1st Crack is the point when sugars begin to caramelize and the bound water begins to escape. It's also the moment that the structure of the bean breaks, allowing oils to flow out of their pockets within the seed. It is a critical point during roasting and when done in a hurry the coffee could be destroyed. A well-roasted, full-bodied and robust coffee will have an even and smooth profile. It will have a distinct aftertaste with a mild sourness while retaining the original character of the bean. This is accomplished by roasting beans until they're a medium brown color and have lost the majority of their moisture. After roasting the seeds, it is important to cool them down as quickly as you can to stop them from continuing to roast. This will release more carbon dioxide. The final result will depend on the speed at which they are cooked and the speed at which they are cooled. Espresso coffee is generally a blend. While single origin beans work well for certain brewing methods however, the intense flavors of espresso require a mix of different bean types. To make the best espresso it is recommended you use a high quality espresso machine. The top espresso machines have a separate tank for espresso and an electric boiler with a greater capacity that enables rapid heating. To increase the quality of extraction, fill the water tank with fresh, cold water. Dose & Yield One gram of coffee ground is used to make one shot of espresso. The ratio of espresso liquid to ground coffee should be less than or equal to 1:2. The exact ratio is determined by the density of the beans. Certain coffees are more dense by weight than others when ground to the same size, that's why a precise scale is so important! The brewing temperature will also influence how you prepare your beans. The ideal range is between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This is due to the fact that the flavour compounds in your beans are best extracted in this range. A higher or lower temperature will impact the rate, quantity and consistency of extraction, as well as the texture, flavor and thickness of your crema. There is always an equilibrium between brewing your coffee to the highest strength and having a smoky taste. The more you extract, the stronger the coffee will be. However it also increases the chance of bitterness as well as sourness. You might be enticed by recipes with high yields to make up for. When you increase the multiplier, you increase the amount of water passing through the grinds. This is significant and often means that more of your flavor is being lost and diluted. The dose is the most flexible control, but numerous other factors influence 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 which you pull the shot. A higher ratio (less that 1:2) will produce a balanced, intense espresso that has a delicious mouthfeel. A shorter ratio will result in a more intense, but less balanced espresso. The key is finding the perfect balance for your taste. You can achieve this by changing the ratio and experimenting with the amount according to the intensity and flavor you prefer. Brewing Espresso beans are ground finer than regular coffee beans, and brewed under more pressure. This results in a more powerful shot of coffee, which has more intense aromas and flavors. Espresso is used in a variety coffee recipes, including cappuccinos and lattes, which are usually made using milk. Espresso can be used in baking or as a garnish on chocolate or coffee-based desserts. Espresso coffee can also be prepared using different methods of brewing, such as Turkish coffee, French press, cold drip, and brew. The type of brewing method you select will be based on your personal preferences and the equipment you own. Making 1kg roasted coffee beans Coffeee with different methods of brewing and ingredients will aid you in finding the perfect cup of espresso. It is possible to use espresso beans in other drinks made with coffee, but they are best reserved for beverages that are espresso-based. Espresso beans are roasted for longer in most cases, up to and past the second crack, which gives them a more dark and more toasted flavor. Additionally espresso beans are usually roasting with higher levels volatile compounds like trigonelline and trigonelline 2 that contribute to the bitterness, body, and flavor of espresso. Although it is technically possible, the results would not be as desired. This is due to the fact that espresso beans are roasted to produce specific tasting notes such as chocolatey or fruity, and these can be difficult to duplicate using other roasts. When making espresso, the key is to get a great crema. It is a thick and thick layer of coffee foam that rises to the surface of the coffee as it is extracted under high pressure. A great crema is an indication that you've incorporated all the essential ingredients like your coffee beans, grinder, and resistance in the coffee bed to create a top-quality coffee. The most important aspect for achieving a good crema is the quality of your beans. The best espresso beans are those that have been roast at a medium to dark roast and ground as finely as you can. Freshness is also essential because whole beans preserve their flavour and taste longer than the pre-ground varieties. It is also important to keep your beans in an airtight container that is protected from moisture and heat.
