Origin

The origin story of espresso coffee beans is fascinating with a twist. The legend says that a 9th century Ethiopian goat-herder named Kaldi discovered the very first coffee plant in his herd and observed that it had a distinct invigorating effect on his herd. He began feeding his livestock the fruits of the Coffea plant and they grew stronger and healthier, as well as more active. This led to the creation of a beverage that is enjoyed by people all over the world.

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

Espresso is not just a popular drink in cafes, but can be made at home. Making sure you have the proper equipment and roasting your own beans will allow you get that perfect cup every time.

We only purchase arabica coffee beans 1kg and Robusta coffee beans from farms that adhere to sustainable agriculture and high ethical standards. This speciality coffee is from the Colombian region Huila, which is known for its fertile valleys, snow-capped mountains, and soil which has been enhanced with minerals over time.

Roast

Roasting is the process that transforms raw green beans into coffee we drink. It's also what gives coffee its flavour color, aroma and colour. The process of roasting requires a great deal of skill and experience in order to regulate the temperature so that the beans do not burn or turn bitter.

When roasting, 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 called the 1st Crack. The first crack marks the point at which sugars begin to caramelize, bound up water begins to escape and the structure of the bean breaks down allowing oils to migrate from their tiny pockets in the seed. This is a crucial point in the roasting and should you rush the process the coffee will be destroyed.

A well-roasted, full-bodied and robust coffee will have a smooth and balanced profile. It will be mildly sour and a strong aftertaste while keeping the original flavor of the bean. This is achieved by roasting the beans until they are into a medium-brown and have lost most of their moisture.

After roasting the seeds, it is important to cool them down as fast as you can to stop the seeds from roasting further. This will release more carbon dioxide. Depending on the method by which they are cooling and the speed at which they're done, they will either end in a light roast, medium roast, or a dark roast.

Espresso coffee is usually a blend of different beans. This is because while single origin beans are excellent for certain brewing methods espresso requires a mix of different bean varieties to give the rich complex flavours it is known for.

It is recommended to buy a high-end espresso machine to create the best cup of espresso. The best machines have an espresso tank that is separate and a boiler with a higher capacity, which allows for rapid heating. The water tank should also be filled with clean, cold water to ensure the highest extraction quality.

Dose and Yield

One gram of ground coffee is used to create one shot of espresso. The ratio of liquid espresso to ground coffee must be less than or equal to 1:2. The exact ratio will depend on the density of your particular beans. Certain coffees are more dense by weight than others when ground to the same size - hence why using a precision scale is crucial!

The temperature of the brew will determine how you utilize your coffee beans. The ideal temperature is between 205-205 degrees Fahrenheit to 195 degrees. This is because the flavour compounds from your beans are extracted optimally within this range. A higher or lower temperature can affect the rate, amount 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 it will become however, it also increases the risk of bitterness and bitterness and. It is tempting to make up for this by making recipes that have an excellent yield. When you increase the multiplier, you increase the amount of water flowing through the grinds. This is significant and often means that more of your flavor is being diluted and lost.

Dose is the most flexible lever of control, but there are other factors that play a part in the strength of your espresso. The most important of these is the ratio as well as your grinder's precision, the dimensions of your portafilter and the speed with the speed at which you push the shot.

A longer ratio (less than 1:2) will result in a balanced, intense espresso that has a delicious mouthfeel. On the other hand, a shorter ratio will result in a more intense but less balanced espresso. Finding the right balance is key. You can achieve this by altering the ratio and playing with the dose depending on the intensity and flavour you prefer.

Brewing

Espresso beans 1kg are ground finer than regular coffee beans, and brewed at more pressure. This results in a more powerful shot of coffee, with more intense flavors and aromas. Espresso is used to make lattes, cappuccinos and other coffee drinks which are typically made using milk. It is also mixed with other types of coffee when baking or used as a garnish for desserts made with coffee or chocolate.

Espresso coffee can be made using a variety of methods of brewing like 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 available. Making a few experiments with different methods of brewing and ingredients will help you find the perfect cup of espresso.

It is possible to use espresso beans in other drinks made with coffee, but they are best suited for beverages that are espresso-based. Espresso beans are roasted for longer and usually go beyond the second crack. This gives them the appearance of toasted, darker, and a more intense flavor. In addition, espresso beans are often roasting with higher levels volatile compounds such as trigonelline and chlorogenic acids 2 that contribute to the body, bitterness and flavor of espresso.

Although it is technically possible to make espresso from any kind of roasted coffee bean, this would not yield the desired results. Espresso beans are roasted to bring specific flavours, such as chocolatey and fruity, that are difficult to replicate by using different roasts.

The most important thing to make espresso is to get a great crema. This is a thick, rich layer of coffee foam which rises to the top of the coffee when it's extracted under high pressure. A good 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 great coffee.

The most important factor for creating a perfect crema is the quality of your beans. The most ideal espresso beans are those that have been roasted to a 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 taste and flavour for longer than ground varieties. It is also important to keep your beans in an airtight container that is protected from heat and moisture.
