Origin

The origins of espresso coffee beans is a fascinating tale. According to legend, an 9th century Ethiopian goat-herder named Kaldi discovered the first coffee plant in his herd and observed that it had a unique invigorating effect on his herd. He began feeding his livestock the fruits of the Coffea plant, and they became 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.

The brew we recognize as espresso is created by pushing hot water under pressure across a bed of finely crushed coffee beans. The resulting brew is rich and concentrated with a layer of smooth, tight bubbles referred to as crema. This is the hallmark of a good espresso and has spawned an entire culture around the beverage.

Espresso is popular not only in cafes but can also be made at home. You can make the perfect cup of coffee every time by buying the right equipment and roasting beans yourself.

Roast

Roasting is the process that transforms raw green beans into the coffee we drink. It's also what gives coffee its taste color, aroma and colour. The roasting process is a precise science and requires great expertise and experience to manage the temperature of the flame so that the beans don't get burned and become dark or bitter.

When roasting, beans may lose up to one fifth of their water. They also grow in size. They also begin to release carbon dioxide, which causes them to expand and crack - this is known as the 1st crack. The first crack is the moment when sugars begin to caramelize, bound up water begins to escape and the structure of the bean breaks down allowing oils to migrate from their tiny pockets in the seed. This is a crucial point in the roasting process, and If it is not done properly the coffee could be destroyed.

A well-roasted, full-bodied and robust coffee will have an even and smooth profile. It will be mildly sour and a strong aftertaste while keeping the original flavor of the bean. This is achieved by roasting beans until they have a medium brown color and have lost the majority of their moisture.

After the seeds have been roasted and cooled, they need to be cooled down as quickly as possible to stop them from continuing to cook and release more carbon dioxide. The final outcome will depend on the speed and how quickly they are cooled.

Espresso coffee is usually a blend. While single origin beans work well for brewing techniques however, the intense flavors of espresso require a mix of various bean varieties.

To make the finest espresso, it is recommended that you use a high quality espresso machine. The top machines will have a separate water tank for the espresso as well as a larger capacity boiler which will allow for faster heating. To ensure the highest quality extraction ensure that the water tank is filled with clean, fresh water.

Dose & Yield

One gram of ground coffee is used to create 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 the beans. Certain coffees are more dense by weight than others when ground to the same size, this is why a precise scale is essential!

The temperature of brewing will affect the way you use your beans. The ideal range is between the 195-205 degree Fahrenheit range. This is because the flavour compounds in your beans are optimally extracted within this range. A higher or lower temperature will impact the rate, quantity and consistency of extraction, and also the texture, taste and the thickness of your crema.

There is always the choice between extracting your coffee to the highest strength and having a smoky taste. The more you extract, the stronger your coffee will be. However, this also increases the risk for bitterness and bitterness and. You might be tempted to offset this by making recipes that have an excellent yield. As you increase the multiplier, you increase the amount of water flowing through the grinds. This is significant and often means that more of your flavour is being lost or diluted.

The dose is the most flexible control, however many other factors affect the intensity of the espresso. The most important factor is the ratio, as well as the accuracy of your grinder and the size of your portafilter and the speed at the speed at which you push the shot.

A higher ratio (less than 1:2) will result in a balanced, intense espresso with a smooth mouthfeel. A lower ratio will produce a more intense however less balanced espresso. The key is finding the right balance for your palate. You can do this by playing around with the dose and changing the ratio according to your preference for intensity and flavor intensity.

Brewing

Espresso beans are ground more finely than regular coffee beans, and brewed under more pressure. This results in a more powerful shot of coffee, which has more intense aromas and flavors.

Additionally espresso beans are typically roasting with higher levels volatile compounds like chlorogenic acids 4 and trigonelline 2, which are responsible for the body, bitterness, and aroma of espresso.

While it is technically possible however the result may not be as desirable. This is because espresso beans are roasted to create particular tastes, such as fruity or chocolaty, which can be difficult to duplicate using other roasts.

When making espresso, the main goal is to achieve a good crema. It is a thick, rich layer of coffee foam that rises to the top of the coffee when it is extracted at high pressure. A well-formed crema is an indication that you have incorporated all the essential ingredients like your grinder, coffee beans and resistance in the coffee bed to create a great coffee.
