Espresso Coffee Beans 1kg A great espresso is made with a blend of coffees that fit its style. While middle or light roast beans can be used to make espresso, the taste may not be suitable for your. The best espresso beans have a smooth, nutty taste with a rich crema. They also contain less caffeine than drip-style espresso. Origin The origin story of espresso coffee beans is fascinating with a twist. According to legend that a 9th century Ethiopian Goat-herder named Kaldi found the first coffee plant among his goats and noticed its unique energizing effect on his goats. He began to feed his herd these fruits of the Coffea arabica plant and they grew stronger and healthier, as well as began to become more active. This was the beginning of a beverage that is now enjoyed by many all over the world. The brew that we know as espresso is produced by pushing hot water under pressure across a bed of finely crushed coffee beans. The brew that is produced is thick and concentrated, with a layer of tight, smooth bubbles, referred to as crema. This is the hallmark of an excellent cup of espresso and has spawned a whole culture around the drink. Espresso is not just a popular drink in cafes, but it can also be made at home. You can enjoy the perfect cup of coffee every time by investing in the right equipment and roasting beans yourself. The process is a little more time consuming than just buying a coffee from the shop, but it's worth the effort in terms of taste and quality. Choosing the right espresso beans is important to ensure that your brew will be delicious and rich. Many people use regular coffee to make espresso. This is not recommended as they are ground and roasted differently, resulting in a bitter or weak brew. The espresso coffee beans we sell are specifically roasted and ground for the espresso brewing process and 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 high ethical standards. We offer this speciality coffee from the Colombian region of Huila that is famous for its fertile valleys and snow-capped volcanoes which have enriched its soil with minerals over time. Roast Roasting is the process that converts raw green beans into the coffee we drink. The roasting process is responsible for the coffee's flavour, colour, and aroma. The process of roasting requires a lot of expertise and experience in order to control the temperature so that the beans do not burn or turn bitter. During the roasting process the beans lose some of their moisture and expand by as much as 55. The beans also begin to release carbon dioxide which causes them to expand and crack. This is referred to as the 1st Crack. The first crack is the point at which sugars begin to caramelize, and bound water starts to escape and the structure of the bean is broken down allowing oils to move from their little pockets in the seed. This is an important step during roasting, and if you rush it and the coffee will end up being ruined. A well-roasted coffee will be full and rich of flavor with a smooth, balanced profile. It will have a distinct aftertaste with a mild sourness while retaining the original character of bean. This is achieved by roasting the beans until they turn a medium brown and have lost a lot of their moisture. After the seeds have been roasted, it is important to cool them down in the quickest time possible to prevent them from continuing to roast. This will release more carbon dioxide. Depending on the method by which they are cool and the speed at which they're done they could end up as a light roast, medium roast or a dark roast. Espresso coffee is typically a blend of different beans. This is because while single origin beans are excellent for specific brewing techniques, espresso demands the use of a variety of beans to produce the rich, complex flavors it is known for. To make 1kg roasted coffee beans is recommended you purchase a top-quality espresso machine. The top machines will include an extra water tank for the espresso as well as a larger capacity boiler that allows for faster heating. The water tank should be filled with clean, cold water to maximise the extraction quality. Dose and Yield A single espresso shot is made by pushing a gram of ground coffee through the brewing process. This means that the ratio of ground coffee to liquid espresso has to be less or equal to than 1:2. The precise ratio is dependent on the density of your particular beans. Some coffees are more heavy than others when they are ground to the same size. This is why a precision scale can be extremely useful! The temperature of the brew can influence how you use your coffee beans. The ideal temperature is between 205-205 degrees Fahrenheit and 195 degrees. This is because the flavor compounds from your beans are extracted optimally within this range. A temperature that is higher or lower will impact the rate, quantity and consistency of extraction, as well as the texture, flavor and the thickness of your crema. There is always a compromise between a strong coffee and a rich flavor. The more you extract, the stronger the coffee will be. However, this also increases the risk for bitterness and acidity. You may be tempted by recipes that have an impressive yield to compensate. However, when you increase the multiplier, you also increase the amount of water passing through the grinds. This is significant and usually means that more of your flavour is being lost or diluted. The dose is the most flexible control, but many other factors affect the intensity of the espresso. The most important of these is the ratio, and also the accuracy of your grinder and the size of your portafilter, and the speed with the speed at which you push the shot. A higher ratio (less that 1:2) will produce an intense, balanced espresso with a sweet mouthfeel. On the contrary, a smaller ratio will result in an intense, but less balanced espresso. The trick is to find the right balance for your palate. You can achieve this by adjusting the ratio and experimenting with the amount according to the intensity and flavor you like. Brewing Espresso beans are roasted finer than regular coffee beans and brewed with more pressure. This produces a stronger, more concentrated shot of coffee that has more intense aromas and flavors. Espresso is used to make cappuccinos, lattes and other coffee drinks which are typically made using milk. It is also mixed with other varieties of coffee when baking or used as a garnish on chocolate- or coffee-based desserts. Espresso coffee can be made with a number of different brewing methods including 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 coffee brewing equipment you have. Experimenting with different brewing techniques and ingredients will assist you in determining the perfect espresso. Espresso beans can be used in other coffee drinks, but they are best suited for espresso-based drinks. Espresso beans are roasted for longer, usually past the second crack. This results in more dark, toasted and more intense flavor. Espresso beans are also often cooked with higher levels of volatile compounds like trigonelline 2 and chlorogenic acids 4 that contribute to the bitterness and body of espresso. Although it is technically feasible to make espresso using any type of roasted coffee bean, this would not yield the desired results. Espresso beans are roasted for particular flavors, like chocolatey and fruity, that is difficult to replicate using other roasts. The key to making espresso is achieving a good crema. This is a dense 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 a sign that you have incorporated all the fundamental inputs of your coffee beans, grinder, resistance in the coffee bed and water temperature to create an excellent espresso. The quality of your coffee beans is essential to achieving a good, creamy crema. The best espresso beans are those which have been roasted at a medium to dark roast and then ground as finely as possible. They should also be fresh, since whole beans will preserve their flavor and taste longer than pre-ground varieties. It is also important to store beans in an airtight jar away from moisture and heat.
