Espresso

Espresso is an intense and aromatic coffee that is produced by special preparation in the espresso machine. It is prepared with high pressure and little water, which gives the espresso its typical strong taste and thick crema. A good espresso is the basis for many other coffee drinks such as cappuccino or latte macchiato.

Espresso beans

Espresso beans are not actually a special type of bean, but ordinary coffee beans that are optimized for the preparation of espresso thanks to a darker roast and fine grind. This roasting reduces the acidity and ensures the characteristic, strong taste. Espresso beans are often offered in blends to ensure a balanced aroma.

Espresso with Arabica and Robusta?

Espresso beans typically consist of a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans. Arabica beans bring subtle, aromatic notes and less caffeine, while Robusta beans are known for their higher resistance, more caffeine and a denser crema. Blend ratios such as 70% Arabica and 30% Robusta are often used to combine the best characteristics of both varieties.

Differences between espresso beans and coffee beans

The main difference between espresso beans and normal coffee beans lies in the roasting and the degree of grinding. Espresso beans are roasted longer and darker, which reduces the acidity and results in a stronger taste. The grind for espresso is very fine to support the short extraction process in the espresso machine. Normal coffee beans for filter coffee have a lighter roast and a coarser grind.

Finding the perfect espresso beans

Finding the perfect espresso beans depends on your personal preferences. Factors such as the type of bean (Arabica or Robusta), the growing region and the roasting method play an important role. Tasting packs are an excellent way to get to know different roasts and blends. When buying, make sure the beans are fresh and store them correctly to preserve the aroma as much as possible.
