Let's go on with an extensive infusion of knowledge about our coffees. Today: our espresso THE BEAR. Like our Omniroast, this one is roasted from the Arabica variety “Red Catuai”. However, it is not processed in the “natural” process, but “washed”. In this process, the coffee cherries are washed in the washing station immediately after harvesting and the pulp is removed. So no fermentation or other refinement, but direct processing into green coffee.    This is the most common processing method worldwide, as the coffee tastes very clear and clean and is ideal for an espresso.   Nevertheless, there are differences in quality. Conventional espresso is usually roasted very dark. The roasting process develops the sugar, which, together with the roasted aromas, gives the coffee its strong body. The roasted aromas create the traditional, typical coffee taste. In addition, dark roasting can mask or weaken undesirable aromas in poor quality green coffees. These arise, for example, if the coffee was not harvested when ripe, plants are undersupplied and inferior qualities were not sorted out. However, if you process well-selected and exclusively ripe coffee, which also comes from a very nutrient-rich soil, there is no need for an excessively dark roast because nothing needs to be masked or weakened.    This way, we don't roast our espresso quite as deeply and don't burn the lighter aromas that give it a fruity note. You can taste this directly. As an espresso, flat white or cappuccino, The Bear contains delicious flavors of red fruits, Criollo cocoa and nougat.   In short, the mixture of full body and fruity and chocolaty notes makes it both bear-like and berry-like.    To put it even more briefly: THE BEAR.

The Science of Coffee Roasting: Understanding Roast Levels and Their Impact Coffee roasting is an intricate process that transforms green coffee beans into the aromatic, flavorful beans we brew into our favorite beverage. The science of coffee roasting involves carefully controlled heat application to develop the beans' unique flavors. This article explores the different roast levels and their impact on the taste, aroma, and overall coffee experience. The Coffee Roasting Process The journey from green bean to roasted coffee involves several key stages. Initially, green coffee beans are loaded into a roaster and heated. The roasting process typically involves three main phases: drying, browning, and development. During the drying phase, moisture... Read More: https://lnkd.in/er94ce3e

This brewing method results in a rich, strong, and highly aromatic coffee that is popular #worldwide . To make espresso, coffee beans are ground finely to a consistency similar to powdered sugar. The grounds are then placed into a portafilter, a small metal basket with a handle, and tamped down to create a compact puck. The portafilter is then attached to an espresso machine, which forces hot water through the grounds under high pressure, typically between 9 and 10 bars (130-145 psi).

This crema is a sign of a well-made espresso and adds to the overall flavor and mouthfeel of the coffee. Espresso is the base for many popular coffee drinks, including cappuccinos, lattes, and macchiatos. Its intense flavor and caffeine content make it a favorite among coffee lovers who enjoy a strong, flavorful brew. #espresso #coffee #flavors #creamy #drinks #food #beverage #foodandbeverage #demand #growth

🚀 Discover the Art and Science of Coffee Tasting with NVLTY Coffee Co! ☕️✨ At NVLTY Coffee Co, we believe that every cup of coffee tells a story. Recently, our co-founders facilitated an exclusive coffee cupping (tasting) event, where participants had the opportunity to delve deep into the world of exceptional quality, fair trade, fresh roasted specialty coffee. What is Coffee Cupping? Coffee cupping is the practice of tasting and evaluating coffee to identify its distinct flavors, aromas, and overall quality. It's a meticulous process that involves: 🔹 Aroma Assessment: Smelling the coffee grounds to detect initial fragrance notes. 🔹 Flavor Profiling: Tasting the brewed coffee to identify flavors, acidity, body, and aftertaste. 🔹 Quality Evaluation: Scoring the coffee based on its balance, complexity, and overall experience. Why Small Batch Artisan Coffee Stands Out Compared to mass-produced coffee found at national chains and grocery store shelves, small-batch artisan coffee roasted by craftsman roasters offers: 🌱 Freshness: Roasted upon order to ensure peak flavor. 🌍 Ethical Sourcing: Beans sourced from sustainable farms that pay fair wages. 🎨 Craftsmanship: Roasting techniques that highlight the unique characteristics of each bean. Our recent coffee cupping event highlighted these differences, allowing participants to experience firsthand the superior quality of our specialty coffee.

The terms "blend" and "single origin" are commonly used to describe different types of coffee based on their origins and how they are processed. Here are the key differences between blend and single origin coffee: 1. Single Origin Coffee - Single origin coffee comes from a specific region, farm, or even a single estate within a particular country. This type of coffee is valued for its unique flavors and characteristics that are specific to the particular area where it was grown. - Single origin coffees are often preferred by coffee enthusiasts who enjoy exploring the distinct flavors and nuances that different regions have to offer. - They are typically labeled with the specific country, region, or farm name where the coffee beans were sourced from. 2. Blended Coffee - Blended coffee is a mixture of coffee beans from two or more origins. Roasters create blends to achieve a specific flavor profile or to balance out the qualities of different beans. - Blends are often designed to achieve consistency in flavor, aroma, and overall quality from batch to batch. Roasters can adjust the blend over time to maintain a consistent taste. - Blends are popular among coffee drinkers who prefer a more balanced or complex flavor profile that combines the characteristics of different beans. When choosing between a blend and a single origin coffee, it ultimately comes down to personal preference. If you enjoy exploring the unique flavors of different coffee-growing regions, you may prefer single origin coffees. If you prefer a more consistent flavor profile or a particular taste experience, a well-crafted blend might be more to your liking. Both single origin and blends have their own merits, and it's worth trying both to see which type of coffee best suits your palate and preferences. #coffee #coffeeknowledge #coffeeroasters #passion #latte #regions #flavour #beans #GFC #coffeeChat #espresso #blends #singleorigin

#GuatemalanCoffee is playing a role in the half caf/low caff trend.  As an origin, #Guatemala offers roasters versatility and a range of different flavor profiles that work well both as a blend or as single origins – and some are leveraging this to provide customers with delicious coffee that has significantly lower #caffeine levels. “As with any type of blend – whether seasonal or signature – they don’t always have to be a 50/50 split of two different coffees. Most blends include a base component, which accounts for most of the overall product, but percentages can vary. For example, if a blend with three coffees includes 40% Brazilian, 35% Guatemalan, and 25% Ethiopian beans, the Brazilian coffee would be the base,” Luke Ford Croft, Roasting Team Leader at Rave Coffee told Perfect Daily Grind.

Coffee Chronicles: The Choice for Taste. It was the beginning of the end of the twentieth century. I achieved my objective… the confluence of aptitude, education, and ambition. I was “promoted” into the consumer pachage goods group. One of my clients was Taster’s Choice Coffee. And so, I went from not knowing or caring about coffee… to knowing and caring about coffee. Because people like Nestle (Taster’s Choice and Hills Brothers at the time), and Proctor and Gamble (the best part of waking up…blah, blah, blah) buy a LOT of coffee beans. Not just tons, but tankers full. And they roast a LOT of coffee. So (here lies the non sequiter)… they have some of the best roasters on the world. Yep, the master roasters at Folger’s can flat out clean the clock of your local boutique master roaster. So, “why is the local guy’s coffee so much better?” you might ask. It has to do with the commodities market, scale, and branding consistency. The local guy gets to shop the world for a few hundred pounds of unique, “special” beans. And he gets to roast them in hundred pounds batches… to perfection. And he gets to sell them for about $28 per pound ($20 for a 12 oz package). A unique, bespoke experience. The Taster’s Choice, Maxwell House, Folgers guy has to… turn out cans of coffee by the hundreds of thousand… for about $6 per can (maybe less than the local hipster pays for raw beans)… AND…every can needs to taste the same. From can to can, batch to batch, store to store, year after year after year. To do that, he has to have a blend formula. Expensive beans. Cheap beans. In-between beans. And acceptable substitutes in case of a revolution in Ethiopia or a blight in Mexico. And he has to have a roast profile… absolutely repeatable… so that the various beans and the signature roast work together… to cancel out the distinctive notes of any one bean… and produce a coffee that is … FOLGERS…every…time. Think about the difference between Chivas and Glenlivet. Or a Bordeaux and a box wine. So, it turns out that it takes a pretty good roaster to coax the unique character out of some unique beans. But the real skill is to get the same taste, out of a basket of various… comparatively ordinary beans… every. single. time. Some time, we can talk about how the Starbucks of the world fit in. That’s interesting too. So, what’s in your cup today? Hope you’re drinking Java you like. Without apologies or explanations. Have a day y’all. Nothin’ but love. #copywritingtips #coffee #coffeechronicles

Lighter roast profiles in the specialty coffee industry are key to highlighting acidity and complex flavors, allowing us to savor the true essence of coffee. However, with coffee prices soaring, roasters are adapting by exploring more affordable options and adjusting roast profiles. For a balanced and sweeter flavor experience, medium roasts are becoming a preferred choice. https://lnkd.in/dUQWzsp9
