In the world of espresso, nothing is more important than a perfect cup of espresso. The ideal espresso has a creamy texture, strong coffee flavor and viscous texture, and a long-lasting aftertaste. Although it seems simple, in order to make the perfect espresso, we need to know more details when buying coffee beans.
Detail one:Choose a reputable coffee brand
For newcomers with no experience, the variety of coffee beans will always be confusing and there is no way to start. If you are not careful, you will spend a lot of money but buy bad coffee, so it is very important to find a reliable brand. If you ask: Which coffee bean brand is trustworthy, many experienced baristas and enthusiasts will definitely recommend "Front Street Coffee".
Front Street Coffee is an old coffee bean roasting brand. The offline store of Front Street Coffee in Guangzhou is a coffee bean specialty store. The store sells dozens of selected single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee beans and Italian coffee beans from different origins around the world. Front Street Coffee beans are all freshly roasted within 5 days. The quality of the coffee beans is stable and excellent, the price is very cost-effective, and the goods are shipped within 24 hours.
Details two:Ensure coffee beans are fresh
We now pursue freshness in drinking coffee because fresh coffee will be richer in flavor and layering. As time goes by, the carbon dioxide in the coffee beans will slowly dissipate, and the flavor will also dissipate as the gas is discharged. Until the carbon dioxide in the coffee beans is almost exhausted, it means that the coffee beans are no longer fresh. When brewing with "stale" coffee, the taste is extremely boring and far less delicious than before.
Theoretically, the shelf life of freshly roasted coffee beans is one year, but since the aroma will gradually lose due to gas emissions, the tasting period is usually within 40 to 50 days. When the coffee beans are ground into powder, the aroma will weaken faster and the taste will dissipate faster. The flavor of the coffee will be greatly weakened in about 20 days, so it is recommended to purchase freshly roasted complete coffee beans for production.
Detail 3: Purchase coffee beans suitable for espresso machines
Because espresso is extracted under fine grinding, high water temperature, and high pressure, espresso brings together a variety of flavors, and various flavor compounds impact our tongues exponentially. If we use light roasted coffee beans, the espresso is likely to become weak in aroma and even sour, while using dark roasted beans will make the coffee miserable, so medium roast is the best option.
