Espresso Coffee Beans 1kg An excellent espresso is created with a blend of coffees that fit its style. While normal medium or light roast beans can be used to make espresso, they could release tasting notes that aren't appropriate for the beverage. The top espresso beans are smooth and have a subtle flavor with a rich, creamy crema. They also have less caffeine than drip-style espresso. Origin The origin story of espresso coffee beans has a fascinating twist. According to legend, a 9th century Ethiopian Goat-herder named Kaldi found the first coffee plant among his goats and noticed its unique energizing effects on his goats. He began feeding his livestock the fruits of the Coffea plant, and they became stronger and healthier as well as more active. This was the birth of a drink that is enjoyed by people around the world. Espresso is made by pushing hot water through finely crushed coffee beans. The brew that is produced is thick and concentrated, with a layer of tight, smooth bubbles known as crema. This is the hallmark of a great cup of espresso, and it has created a whole culture around the beverage. Espresso is whole coffee beans in cafes, but it can be made at home. You can make the perfect cup of coffee every time by buying the right equipment and roasting your beans yourself. It is more time consuming than just buying a coffee at the shop, but it's worth it in terms of quality and flavor. The right kind of espresso coffee beans is crucial to ensure that the brew is delicious and rich. Although many people use regular coffee beans to make their espresso, this isn't recommended as they are roasted differently and ground differently and this can lead to a very weak or bitter brew. We offer espresso coffee beans in 1kg bags that are roasted and ground specifically for espresso brewing. You'll enjoy a delicious cup of coffee each time. We only purchase Arabica and Robusta coffee beans from farms committed to sustainable farming and ethical standards. We offer this speciality coffee from the Colombian region of Huila that is known for its fertile valleys and snow-capped volcanoes that have enriched its soil with minerals over the years. Roast Roasting is the process that transforms raw green beans into coffee we drink. The roasting process is also responsible for the coffee's flavour color, aroma, and colour. The roasting process is a precise science and requires great expertise and experience to manage the temperature of the fire so that the beans don't burn and turn dark, bitter or oily. When roasting, beans can lose up to one fifth of their water. They also expand in size. They will also start to release carbon dioxide which causes them to expand and crack which is known as the 1st crack. The 1st crack marks the point at which sugars begin to caramelize, the bound water begins to escape and the structure of the bean begins to break down allowing oils to migrate out of their tiny pockets within the seed. This is a crucial moment during roasting and If it is not done properly it could result in the coffee being damaged. A well-roasted, full-bodied coffee will have a smooth and balanced profile. It will have minimal sourness and a strong aftertaste preserving the origin character of the bean. This is accomplished by roasting beans until they have medium brown and have lost the majority of their moisture. After roasting the seeds, it is important to cool them as quickly 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 up as a light roast, medium roast or a dark roast. Espresso coffee is typically a blend of different beans. This is due to the fact that while single origin beans are great for certain brewing methods, espresso demands the use of a variety of bean varieties to create the rich, complex flavors it is famous for. To get the best espresso, it is recommended that you use a high quality espresso machine. The top machines will have a separate water tank for the espresso, as well as a bigger capacity boiler that will allow for faster heating. The water tank should also be filled with fresh, cold water to ensure the highest extraction quality. Dose & Yield One gram of coffee ground is used to make one shot of espresso. This means that the ratio of ground coffee to liquid espresso should be equal to or less than 1:2. The exact ratio will depend on the density of the beans. Certain coffees are heavier than other when they are ground to the same size. This is why a scale that is precise is so valuable! The brewing temperature will also impact how you use your beans. The ideal temperature is between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because the flavour compounds in your beans are best extracted within this range. A higher or lower temperature can impact the rate, quantity and consistency of extraction, and also the texture, taste and thickness of your crema. There is always the choice between extracting your coffee to a high strength and having a smoky taste. The more you extract, the stronger your coffee will be. However, this also increases the chance of bitterness as well as acidity. You may be tempted by recipes with a high yield to compensate. However, as you increase the number of ingredients, you are also increasing the amount of water that flows through the grinds. This is significant and often means that more of your flavour is being diluted and lost. Dose is the most flexible lever for control, but there are many other elements that affect the strength of your espresso. The ratio is the most important factor, as is the accuracy of your grinder as well as the size and speed of your portafilter, and the speed at which you pull your shot. For instance, a higher ratio (less than 1:2) will produce an intense but balanced espresso, with a smooth mouthfeel and a clearness of flavour. A smaller ratio will result in a stronger, but less balanced espresso. Finding the right balance is essential. You can achieve this by playing with the dosage and altering the ratio based on the intensity you prefer and the flavor intensity. Brewing Espresso beans are ground finer than regular coffee beans, and brewed with more pressure. This produces a stronger shot of coffee, with more intense flavors and aromas. Espresso is used in a variety coffee recipes like cappuccinos as well as lattes, which are generally made with milk. It is also sometimes mixed with other kinds of coffee in baking or used as a garnish on desserts that are based on coffee or chocolate. Espresso coffee can be made with various brewing methods, including Turkish coffee, French press, cold brew, and drip coffee. The method of brewing you select will be based on your personal preference and the equipment you have. Try different methods and ingredients will help you find the perfect espresso. Espresso beans can be used for other drinks made with coffee, but they are most suitable to make espresso-based drinks. Espresso beans are roasted longer, usually beyond the second crack. This results in a darker, toasted, and more intense taste. Espresso beans are also often cooked with higher levels of volatile substances such as trigonelline 2 as well as chlorogenic acids 4 that contribute to the bitterness and body of espresso. Although it is technically possible to make espresso using any kind of coffee bean roasted but this will not produce the desired results. Espresso beans are roasted to bring particular flavors, like chocolatey and fruity, which is difficult to replicate using other roasts. When making espresso, the key is to create a high-quality crema. This is a thick, rich layer of coffee foam that rises to the top of the coffee when it's extracted at high pressure. A great crema is a sign you have incorporated the required fundamental inputs of your coffee beans grinding machine, grinder, resistance to the coffee bed and the temperature of the water to create a great espresso. The quality of the coffee beans is crucial to creating a smooth creamy crema. The finest espresso beans are those that have been roasted at a medium to dark roast and then ground as finely as you can. Freshness is also essential, as whole beans retain their flavor and taste for longer than pre-ground varieties. Additionally, it is essential to keep your beans in a sealed container away from heat and moisture.
