According to legend the 9th century saw an Ethiopian Goat-herder named Kaldi found the first coffee plant among his goats and observed its unique energizing effects on his goats. He began to feed his animals the fruits of the Coffea arabica plant and they became stronger and healthier, and began to be more active. This was the start of a great drink, one which is now enjoyed by people around the world. The brew that we know as espresso is made by pushing hot water under pressure through a bed of finely crushed coffee beans. The resultant brew is sweet in flavor and extremely concentrated with a layer of smooth, tight bubbles called the crema. This is the signature of a great espresso cup and has spawned a whole culture around the drink. Espresso is popular not only in cafes but can be made at home.

It is important to choose the best coffee beans for your espresso to ensure a rich and delicious coffee. While many people use regular coffee beans to make espresso, this is not recommended since they are roasted differently and ground differently and this can result in an extremely weak or bitter the brew. We sell espresso coffee beans in bags of 1kg that are ground and roasted specifically for espresso making. You'll get a delicious cup of coffee every time. We only purchase Arabica and Robusta coffee beans from farms that adhere to sustainable farming 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 mountains that have enriched the soil with minerals over the years. Roast The process of roasting transforms the raw, green beans into the coffee we drink. The roasting process is responsible for the coffee's taste, colour, and aroma. The roasting process requires a great deal of skill and experience to control the temperature so that the beans don't get burned or become bitter. During the roasting process, the beans lose a bit of moisture and grow in size by as much as five percent. They also begin to release carbon dioxide, which causes the beans 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 starts to escape and the structure of the bean begins to break down, allowing oils to flow from their little pockets in the seed. This is a crucial stage during roasting, and If you rush it the coffee will be ruined. A coffee that is well-roasted will be rich and full of flavor, with a smooth, balanced profile. It will have a mild sourness and a strong aftertaste, while keeping the original flavor of the bean. This is achieved by roasting the beans until they turn into a medium-brown and have lost the majority of their moisture. Once the seeds are roasted and cooled, they need to be cooled down as quickly as possible so that they do not continue to roast and releasing more carbon dioxide. Depending on the method by which they are cooling and the speed at which they're done they may end with a light roast, a medium roast, or a dark roast. Coffee labelled as 'espresso' is typically blended with different beans. While single origin beans work for certain brewing methods, the rich flavours of espresso require a blend of various bean varieties. It is recommended to invest in a top-quality espresso machine to make the finest cup of espresso. The top espresso machines come with separate tanks for espresso and an espresso boiler with a larger capacity that allows for quicker heating. The water tank should also be filled with clean, cool water to maximize the extraction quality. Dose & Yield One gram of coffee ground is used to make one shot of espresso. The ratio of espresso liquid to ground coffee must be less than or equal to 1:2. The exact ratio depends on the density of your specific beans. Some coffees are heavier than other when they are ground to the same size. This is why a precise scale can be extremely useful! The temperature of the brew can affect how you use your coffee beans. The ideal range is between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because the flavor compounds in your beans are best extracted within this range. A temperature that is higher or lower can impact the rate, quantity and consistency of extraction as well as the texture, flavor and thickness of your crema. There is always the choice between extracting your coffee to an extremely strong strength and also having a rich taste. The more you extract, the stronger the coffee will be. However, this also increases the chance of bitterness and sourness. You might be tempted to offset this by using recipes with an excellent yield. 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 flavor is being diluted and lost. The dose is the most flexible control, however many other factors affect the strength of the espresso. The ratio is the primary element, as is the quality of your grinder as well as the size and speed of your portafilter, and the speed at which you draw your shot. For example, a longer ratio (less than 1:2) produces a smoky but balanced espresso with a sweet mouthfeel and clear flavours. A smaller ratio will produce a more intense but less balanced espresso. Finding the right balance is crucial. You can achieve this by playing around with the dosage and altering the ratio to suit the intensity you prefer and the flavor intensity. Brewing Espresso beans are ground more finely than regular coffee beans and brewed with more pressure. This results in a stronger and more concentrated shot of coffee with richer flavors and aromas. Espresso is used to make lattes, cappuccinos and other drinks made from coffee which are typically made using milk. Espresso is sometimes used in baking, or as a garnish for chocolate or coffee-based desserts. coffee bean 1kg can be made using different brewing methods, including Turkish coffee, French press, cold drip coffee, and brew. The type of brewing method you choose will depend on your personal preference and the equipment you have. Try different methods and ingredients will aid you in finding the perfect cup of espresso. It is possible to use espresso beans in other beverages, however they should be reserved for espresso-based beverages. This is because espresso beans are roasted over a long, usually until and beyond the second crack, which results in them a more dark and more toasted flavor. Espresso beans are often roasted with higher levels of volatile compounds like trigonelline 2 and chlorogenic acids 4, which contribute to the body and bitterness of espresso. While it is technically possible, the results would not be as pleasing. This is due to the fact that espresso beans are roasted to create particular tastes, such as chocolatey or fruity, which can be difficult to replicate with other roasts. When making espresso, the key is to get a great crema. It is a thick, dense layer of coffee foam which rises to the top of the coffee when it's extracted under high pressure. A well-formed crema indicates that you have combined all the essential ingredients including your coffee beans, grinder, and resistance in the coffee bed to create a top-quality coffee. The quality of your coffee beans is essential to achieving a great creamy crema. The most ideal espresso beans are ones that have been roasting to medium or dark roast, and have been grinded as fine as they can be. They must also be fresh as whole beans will retain their flavor and taste for longer than pre-ground varieties. It is also important to keep your beans in an airtight container, away from heat and moisture.
