Espresso Coffee Beans 1kg A excellent espresso requires a mix of beans that are suited to the type of beverage. While medium or light roasted beans can be used to make espresso, they may release tasting notes that aren't suitable for the drink. The best espresso beans have a smooth, nuanced taste with a rich crema. They also contain less caffeine than drip-style coffee. Origin The origin story of espresso coffee beans is fascinating with a twist. According to legend, an 8th century Ethiopian goat-herder named Kaldi discovered the first coffee plant in his herd and observed that it had a distinct positive effect on his livestock. He began feeding his animals the fruits of the Coffea arabica plant and they became stronger and healthier, and began to be more active. This led to the creation of a beverage that is now enjoyed by people all over the world. The coffee we know as espresso is created by forcing hot water under pressure through a bed of finely ground coffee beans. The resulting brew is smoky in flavor and extremely concentrated with a layer of smooth tight bubbles on top called the crema. This is the hallmark of a good cup of espresso and has created a culture around the drink. Espresso is not just a popular drink in cafes but can be made at home. You can enjoy the perfect cup of coffee each time by buying the right equipment and roasting your beans yourself. It is more time-consuming than buying a coffee at the store but it is well worth it in terms of taste and quality. The right kind of coffee beans for espresso is crucial to ensure that the brew is delicious and rich. Many people use regular coffee for making espresso. This is not recommended because they are roasted and ground differently, which could result in a weak or bitter the brew. We offer espresso coffee beans in bags of 1kg which are roasted and ground specifically for espresso brewing. You will enjoy an excellent cup of coffee every time. We only source the highest quality Arabica and Robusta beans from farms that adhere to sustainable farming practices 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 which have enriched its soil with minerals over the years. Roast Roasting is the process that turns raw green beans into the coffee that we drink. 1kg coffee beans gives the coffee its flavour color, aroma and colour. The process of roasting requires a lot of expertise and experience in order to regulate the temperature so that the beans don't burn or become bitter. During roasting, the beans may 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 crack and this is referred to as the first crack. The 1st Crack is at which sugars begin to caramelize and the bound water begins to escape. It's also the time when the structure of the bean is broken, allowing oils to flow from their pockets within the seeds. This is a crucial point in the roasting and if you rush it the coffee will be ruined. A full-bodied, well-roasted coffee will have an even and smooth profile. It will have minimal sourness and a strong aftertaste while keeping the original flavor of the bean. This is accomplished by roasting the beans until they are into a medium-brown and have lost a lot of their moisture. After the seeds have been roast after which they must be cool down as fast as is possible to stop them from continuing to roast and releasing more carbon dioxide. Depending on the method by which they are cooled and the speed at which they're done they could end with a light roast, a medium roast, or a dark roast. Espresso coffee is typically a blend. This is due to the fact that while single origin beans are fantastic for certain brewing methods espresso requires an assortment of different bean varieties to give the rich complex flavours it is renowned for. To make the finest espresso, it is recommended that you use a high quality espresso machine. The best 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 ensure the highest extraction quality. Dose and Yield One gram of ground coffee 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 will depend on the density of the 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 determine how you utilize your coffee beans. The ideal range is between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This is due to the fact that the flavour compounds from your beans are optimally extracted within this range. A higher or lower temperature can affect the rate, amount and consistency of extraction and also the texture, taste and the thickness of your crema. There is always a trade off between extracting your coffee to a high strength and having a rich taste. The more you extract, the stronger your coffee will be. However this can also increase the risk for bitterness and sourness. You may be tempted to make up for this by using recipes with an excellent yield. But, when you increase the multiple you also increase the amount of water passing through the grinds. This is crucial and could cause more flavour to be lost. Dose is the most flexible lever of control, however there are many other elements that influence the strength of your espresso. The most important one is the ratio as well as your grinder's precision as well as the dimensions of your portafilter and the speed at the speed at which you push the shot. A longer ratio (less that 1:2) will produce an intense, balanced espresso that has a delicious mouthfeel. On the other hand, a shorter ratio will yield more intense but less balanced espresso. Finding the right balance is essential. You can achieve this by changing the ratio and playing around with the dosage according to the intensity and taste you prefer. Brewing Espresso beans are ground more finely than regular coffee beans and brewed with higher pressure. This results in a more powerful shot of coffee, with more intense aromas and flavors. Espresso is used to make cappuccinos, lattes and other drinks made from coffee which are typically made using milk. Espresso is often used in baking or as a garnish on chocolate or coffee-based desserts. Espresso coffee can be made using various methods of brewing, including Turkish coffee, French press, cold drip, and brew. The method of brewing you select will be based on your personal preference and the equipment you have. Experimenting with different brewing techniques and ingredients can assist you in determining the perfect cup of espresso. Espresso beans can be used in other drinks made with coffee, but they are best suited for espresso-based drinks. Espresso beans are roasted for longer and usually go beyond the second crack. This results in more dark, toasted and a more intense flavor. Additionally espresso beans are usually roasted with higher levels of volatile compounds such as trigonelline and chlorogenic acids 2, which are responsible for the body, bitterness, and aroma of espresso. While it is technically possible, the results would not be as pleasing. Espresso beans are roasted to bring particular flavours, like fruity and chocolatey, that is difficult to replicate by using different roasts. The key to making espresso is to get a great crema. It's a thick, rich layer of coffee foam which rises to the top of the coffee after it has been extracted under high pressure. A great crema is an indication that you have incorporated all the ingredients you need, such as your coffee beans, grinder, and resistance in the coffee bed, to create a top-quality coffee. The quality of your coffee beans is key to creating a smooth, creamy crema. The finest espresso beans are those that have been roast at a medium-to dark roast and ground as finely as is possible. Freshness is also important because whole beans preserve their flavour and taste longer than the pre-ground varieties. Additionally, it is essential to keep your beans in an airtight container, away from moisture and heat.
