Espresso Coffee Beans 1kg A excellent espresso requires a mix of coffee beans suited to the style of beverage. While light or medium roasted beans can be used to make espresso, they could release tasting notes that aren't suitable for the drink. The finest espresso beans are smooth and nuanced with an intense crema. They also contain less caffeine than drip-style coffee. Origin The history of espresso coffee beans is a fascinating tale. According to legend that a 9th century 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 was the beginning of a drink that is now enjoyed by many across the globe. The brew that we know as espresso is made by pushing hot water under pressure across a bed of finely crushed coffee beans. The resulting brew is rich in flavor and extremely concentrated, with a layer of smooth tight bubbles on top known as the crema. This is the hallmark of a fantastic espresso and it has created an entire culture around the drink. Espresso isn't just popular in cafes but it is also a possibility to make at home. Making sure you have the right equipment and roasting your own beans will allow you get that perfect cup every time. It may take a bit longer than buying coffee at the store, but the quality and taste are worth the wait. Choosing the right coffee beans for espresso is essential to ensure that your espresso is delicious and rich. Many people use regular coffee to make espresso. This is not recommended because they are roasted and ground differently, which could result in a bitter or weak coffee. The espresso coffee beans 1kg we sell are specifically ground and roasted to suit the espresso brewing method and will provide you with the best cup of coffee each and every time. We only source the best quality Arabica and Robusta beans from farms that adhere to sustainable farming practices and ethical standards. We offer this specialty coffee from the Colombian region of Huila that is famous for its fertile valleys and snow-capped mountains that have enriched the soil with minerals over the years. Roast Roasting is the process that converts raw green beans into coffee that we drink. It also gives the coffee its flavour aroma, colour and flavour. The roasting process requires a great deal of skill and experience to regulate the temperature so that the beans do not get burned or become bitter. While roasting, the beans can lose up to a fifth of their moisture. They also grow in size. The beans will also begin to release carbon dioxide, which causes them to expand and crack. This is known as the 1st Crack. The first crack marks the moment when sugars begin to caramelize, and bound water begins to escape and the structure of the bean is broken down allowing oils to move 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 coffee that is well-roasted will be full and rich of flavour with smooth, balanced taste. It will have a mild sourness and a strong aftertaste while preserving the origin character of the beans. This is achieved by roasting beans until they are a medium brown color and have lost the majority of their moisture. Once the seeds are roasted, they must be cooled down as fast as is possible so that they do not continue to roast and release more carbon dioxide. The final outcome will depend on the speed of roasting and the speed at which they are cooled. Espresso coffee is usually blended. This is because while single origin beans are fantastic for certain brewing methods espresso requires a mix of different beans to produce the complex and rich flavors it is known for. To get the best espresso it is recommended you use a high quality espresso machine. The best machines will have an additional water tank to drink the espresso and a larger capacity boiler which will allow for faster heating. The water tank should be filled with clean, cool water to maximise the extraction quality. Dose & Yield One gram of ground coffee is used to make one shot of espresso. The ratio of liquid espresso to ground coffee has to be less than or equal to 1:2. The exact ratio will depend on the density of your particular beans. Some coffees are heavier than others when ground to the same size. This is why a precision scale is so valuable! The temperature of the brewing process will influence how you prepare your beans. The ideal range lies between 205-205 degrees Fahrenheit to 195 degrees. This is because the flavour compounds in your beans are best extracted within this range. A temperature that is higher or lower can affect the texture, flavor and thickness of crema, and also the consistency and quantity of extraction. There will always be the choice between extracting your coffee to the highest strength and having a rich taste. The more you extract, the more powerful it will be however, it also increases the chance of bitterness and sourness. You may be tempted by recipes that boast a high yield to compensate. As you increase the multiplier, you also increase the amount of water flowing through the grinds. This is important and can cause more flavour to be lost. Dose is the most flexible lever of control, however there are other factors that play a part in the strength of your espresso. The most important factor is the ratio – and also the accuracy of your grinder and the size of your portafilter, and the speed with which you take the shot. A higher ratio (less that 1:2) will result in an intense, balanced espresso with a sweet mouthfeel. On the other hand, a shorter ratio will produce more intense but less balanced espresso. The trick is to find the right balance for your palate. You can achieve this by altering the ratio and playing around with the dose depending on the intensity and taste you prefer. Brewing Espresso beans are ground more finely than regular coffee beans and brewed with greater pressure. This results in a more powerful shot of coffee, which has more intense aromas and flavors. Espresso is used to make cappuccinos, lattes and other coffee drinks which are typically made using milk. Espresso can be used in baking or as a garnish on desserts that contain coffee or chocolate. Espresso coffee can be made using a variety of brewing methods including drip coffee, Turkish coffee, cold brew, and French press. The method of brewing you select will be based on your personal preference and the equipment you've got. You can determine the best espresso by testing various brewing methods and ingredients. It is possible to use espresso beans for other beverages, however they are best suited for beverages that are espresso-based. Espresso beans are roasted over a long in most cases, up to and over the second crack, which results in them a darker, toasted and more intense flavor. In addition, espresso beans are often roasting with higher levels volatile compounds such as trigonelline and trigonelline 2 that contribute to the body, bitterness and flavor of espresso. Although it is technically feasible to make espresso from any kind of coffee bean roasted, this would not yield the desired results. Espresso beans are roasted to bring particular flavours, like chocolatey and fruity, which can be difficult to reproduce by using different roasts. When making espresso, the most important thing is to create a high-quality crema. It's an extremely thick and rich layer of coffee foam that rises to the top of the coffee after it has been extracted under high pressure. A good crema indicates that you've incorporated all the necessary inputs like your coffee beans, grinder and resistance in the coffee bed to create a great coffee. The quality of your coffee beans is essential to achieving a great creamy crema. 1 kg coffee beans are ones that have been roasting to medium or dark roast and then ground as fine as possible. They must also be fresh, since whole beans will preserve their taste and flavour for longer than pre-ground varieties. It is also important to store your beans in a sealed container that is protected from moisture and heat.
