Origin

The history of espresso coffee beans is an intriguing story. According to legend the 9th century saw an 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 and healthier as well as more active. This led to the creation of a beverage that is now enjoyed by many across the globe.

Espresso is created by forcing hot water through finely crushed coffee beans. The resultant brew is sweet in flavor and extremely concentrated, with a layer of smooth tight bubbles on top called the crema. This is the hallmark of a good espresso drink and has created a culture around the drink.

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 buying the right equipment and roasting beans yourself. It takes a little longer than buying coffee from the supermarket however the quality and flavor are worth it.

It is essential to choose the best coffee beans for your espresso to ensure a rich and delicious drink. Many people use regular coffee 1kg to make espresso. This is not recommended as they are roasted and ground differently, resulting in a bitter or weak brew.

The espresso coffee beans we sell are specifically roasted and ground for the espresso brewing method and will give you 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. This speciality coffee is from the Colombian region Huila, which is famous for its fertile valleys, snow-capped mountains and soil that has been enriched with minerals over time.

Roast

The process of roasting transforms the raw, green beans into the coffee we drink. The roasting process is also responsible for the coffee's taste color, aroma, and colour. The process of roasting requires a lot of skill and experience to control the temperature so that the beans don't burn or turn bitter.

While roasting, the beans can lose up to 55% of their moisture. They also expand in size. They will also start to release carbon dioxide, which causes them to expand and break and this is known as the 1st crack. The 1st Crack is at which sugars begin to caramelize, and the bound water begins to escape. It's also the moment when the structure of the bean is broken, allowing oils to escape from their pockets inside the seed. This is a crucial point during roasting, and if you rush it, the coffee will be destroyed.

A coffee that is well-roasted will be rich and full of flavor with smooth, balanced taste. It will have a strong aftertaste and minimal sourness, while retaining the original character of bean. This is achieved by roasting beans until they turn to a medium brown and have lost most of their moisture.

After the seeds have been roasted and cooled, they need to be cooled down as fast as is possible to stop them from continuing to roast and releasing more carbon dioxide. The final result will depend on the speed at which they are cooked and how quickly they are cooled.

Espresso coffee is generally a blend. This is due to the fact that while single origin beans are excellent for specific brewing methods, espresso demands a mix of different bean varieties to create the complex and rich flavors it is renowned for.

It is recommended to buy a high-end espresso machine to make the best espresso. The top machines will come with a separate water tank for the espresso as well as a larger capacity boiler which will allow for faster heating. The water tank should also be filled with fresh, cold water to maximise the extraction quality.

Dose & Yield

A single shot of espresso is created by pushing a gram of ground coffee through the brewing process. The ratio of espresso liquid to ground coffee should be less than or equal to 1 kg coffee beans:2. The exact ratio will depend on the density of the beans. Some coffees occupy more volume by weight than others when ground to the same size - hence why using a precision scale is crucial!

The temperature of brewing will impact how you use your beans. The ideal temperature is between 205-205 degrees Fahrenheit and 195 degrees. This is due to the fact that the flavour compounds in your beans are best extracted in this range. A higher or lower temperature can affect the texture, flavour, and the thickness of the crema and also the consistency and quantity of extraction.

There will always be the choice between extracting your coffee to an extremely strong strength and also having a rich taste. The more you extract, the stronger it will be however, it also increases the possibility of bitterness and sourness. You might be tempted to compensate for this by using recipes that have an excellent yield. When you increase the multiplier, you increase the amount of water passing through the grinds. This is important and can result in more flavor being lost.

The dose is the most flexible control, but there are many other factors that affect the intensity of the espresso. The ratio is the primary element, as is the accuracy of your grinder as well as the size and speed of your portafilter, and the speed at which you draw your shot.

A higher ratio (less than 1 kg of coffee beans:2) will produce an intense, balanced espresso with a smooth mouthfeel. A smaller ratio will result in 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 amount according to the intensity and flavour you like.

Brewing

Espresso beans are ground more finely than regular coffee beans and brewed using higher 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 generally made with milk. Espresso is sometimes used in baking, or as a garnish on chocolate or coffee-based desserts.

Espresso coffee can be prepared using a variety of methods of brewing, including drip coffee, Turkish coffee, cold brew, and French press. The method of brewing you choose depends on your individual preferences and the coffee brewing equipment you have. Making a few experiments with different methods of brewing and ingredients can assist you in determining the perfect cup of espresso.

Espresso beans can be used for other coffee drinks, but they are most suitable for espresso-based drinks. This is because espresso beans are roasted over a long, usually up to and over the second crack, which gives them a much darker and more toasted flavor. Espresso beans are often roast at higher levels of volatile compounds like trigonelline 2 and chlorogenic acids 4 which are responsible for the body and bitterness of espresso.

Although it is technically feasible however the result may not be as pleasing. This is because espresso beans are roasted to produce distinct flavors, like fruity or chocolaty, which is difficult to duplicate using other roasts.

The most important thing to make espresso is to get a great crema. It is a thick, rich layer of coffee foam which rises to the top of the coffee when it is extracted at high pressure. A well-formed crema indicates that you have incorporated all the necessary inputs, such as your coffee beans, grinder and resistance in the coffee bed to create a top-quality coffee.

The most important aspect for creating a perfect crema is the quality of your beans. The finest espresso beans are those which have been roasted at a medium to dark roast and ground as finely as is possible. They must also be fresh, as whole beans will retain their taste and flavour for longer than ground varieties. Additionally, it is essential to keep your beans in a sealed container that is protected from moisture and heat.
