Origin

The origin of espresso coffee beans is a fascinating story. According to legend, an 9th century Ethiopian goat-herder named Kaldi discovered the very first coffee plant in his herd.

He began to feed his herd the fruits of the Coffea arabica plant, and they grew stronger, healthier, and started to become more active. This was the beginning of a beverage that is now enjoyed by people around the world.

Roast

The roasting process is what transforms raw, green beans into the coffee we drink. The roasting process is also responsible for the coffee's taste, colour, and aroma. The roasting process requires a lot of skill and experience to control the temperature so that the beans don't burn or become bitter.

During roasting, the beans may lose up to one fifth of their water. They also expand in size. They will also start to release carbon dioxide that causes them to expand and break and this is referred to as the first crack. The first crack marks the point at which sugars begin to caramelize, the bound water starts to escape and the structure of the bean breaks down, allowing oils to flow from their tiny pockets in the seed. This is a crucial stage in the roasting process, and If it is not done properly it could result in the coffee being damaged.

A well-roasted coffee will be rich and full of flavour with a smooth, balanced profile. It will have minimal sourness and a strong aftertaste while keeping the original flavor of the bean.

After the seeds have been roasted after which they must be cool down as fast as is possible to stop them from continuing to cook and release more carbon dioxide. Based on how they're cooled and the speed at which they're done they could end with a light roast, a medium roast or a dark roast.

The top machines come with a separate tank for espresso and a boiler with a higher capacity, which allows for rapid heating. The water tank should also be filled with fresh, cold water to maximise the extraction quality.

Dose & Yield

One shot of espresso is created by pushing one gram of ground coffee through the brewing process. The ratio of espresso liquid to ground coffee should be less than or equal to 1:2. The precise ratio is dependent on the density of your particular beans. Certain coffees are more dense by weight than others when ground to the same size - hence why using a precision scale is essential!

The temperature of brewing will affect the way you use your beans. The ideal range is between 205-205 degrees Fahrenheit to 195 degrees. This is because the flavor 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 will always be the choice between extracting your coffee to an extremely strong strength and also tasting rich. The more you extract the stronger it will become, but that also increases the possibility of bitterness and acidity. You may be tempted by recipes that boast a high yield to make up for. As you increase the multiplier, you also increase the amount of water flowing through the grinds. This is significant and often means that more of your flavor is being diluted and lost.

Dose is the most flexible lever of control, but there are other factors that play a part in the intensity of your espresso. The ratio is the most important factor, as is the quality of your grinder, the size and speed of your portafilter and the speed at which you take your shot.

For example, a longer ratio (less than 1 kg of coffee beans:2) produces a smoky but balanced espresso, with a syrupy mouthfeel and clear flavours. A shorter ratio will result in a stronger but less balanced espresso. Finding the right balance is crucial. You can do this by playing with the dose and adjusting the ratio based on your preferred intensity and flavor intensity.

Although it is technically possible to make espresso using any type of coffee bean roasted however, it is unlikely to produce the desired results.

When making espresso, the main goal is to achieve a good crema. It's an extremely thick and rich layer of coffee foam that rises to the top of the coffee beans 1kg arabica after it has been extracted under high pressure. A well-formed crema indicates that you've incorporated all the essential ingredients like your coffee beans, grinder, and resistance in the coffee bed to create a top-quality coffee.
