Whats The Best Espresso Coffee
Determining the “best” espresso coffee can be subjective and depends on personal taste preferences. However, several factors contribute to a high-quality espresso:
Freshness: Freshly roasted coffee beans are crucial for good espresso. Our Speciality Columbian Coffee Beans are roasted in Sunderland and available in our stores with a roast date within the past fews. Our Columbian coffee beans are always used within a week.
Bean Quality: High-quality arabica beans are generally preferred for espresso due to their nuanced flavors and lower bitterness compared to robusta beans.
Grind: Espresso requires a fine grind to ensure proper extraction. The grind size should be consistent to ensure even extraction.
Machine and Technique: A good espresso machine, along with proper technique in tamping and brewing, is essential for making excellent espresso.
Crema: A good espresso should have a thick, golden crema on top, indicating proper extraction and freshness of the beans.
Flavor Profile: The flavor profile of espresso can vary widely depending on the beans and their origin. Some people prefer a fruity, floral espresso, while others prefer a more chocolatey or nutty flavor. Thats why we use our own roasted single origin speciality Columbian Coffee Bean
Serving: Espresso is typically served in small, demitasse cups and should be consumed immediately for the best flavor.
Some popular brands use coffee that was roasted months prior to grinding, however, the best espresso is often made using freshly roasted beans that suit your personal taste preferences and are brewed using high-quality equipment and proper technique. Experiment by adjusting variables like grind size and brew time can help you find the perfect espresso for you.
