Understanding Espresso: The Foundation of Popular Coffee Drinks

Today's most popular coffees, whether it's Cappuccino, Latte, Mocha, and more, are all formulated with espresso coffee beans as their base.

What is Espresso?

Espresso is extracted from approximately 19g of roasted coffee beans, yielding only 20-30ml of coffee within 20-25 seconds.

The Four Essential Elements of Perfect Espresso

Using premium espresso coffee beans, the aroma will rise from the cup and disperse. When held in the mouth, the flavor stimulates the nasal mucosa, and as it slides down the throat, you can sense the body's texture. After drinking, you'll still be immersed in the fragrant aftertaste.

Therefore, the most important aspect of Espresso is achieving perfect harmony, including: Aroma, Flavor, Body, and After Taste.

These four elements will produce different results depending on the coffee bean variety, roasting conditions, grinding method, extraction time, pressure, temperature, and technical aspects.

Thus, the coffee beans themselves, roaster quality, and personnel expertise are all fundamental to determining classic coffee.

The Critical Steps: Roasting and Blending

The most important steps to transform high-quality coffee beans into exceptional coffee are roasting and blending.

Roasting involves baking raw coffee beans at relatively high temperatures. During this process, the coffee beans' volume expands while their weight decreases, and different flavors can be created based on roasting duration.

Blending aims to balance coffee flavors by mixing coffee beans from different origins and varieties to create unparalleled, unique deliciousness. Since single-origin coffee beans lack the complex flavors necessary for brewing delicious coffee, many blends contain three to seven different types of coffee beans from various origins and varieties.

In other words, roasting each single-origin coffee bean first, then blending, will present the different characteristics of each coffee, thereby producing coffee with the most unique flavor.

The Art of Arabica Coffee Beans

Every Arabica coffee bean selected for espresso coffee beans contains complex aromatic factors, and these aromatic factors must be properly combined during the roasting process to form the wonderful taste of coffee. Mastering these complex factor variations is what allows true Arabica beans to become rich in layered complexity after roasting (referring to the indicators of acidity, sweetness, bitterness, aroma, richness, and syrupiness contained in each sip of coffee).

Therefore, the coffee bean roaster plays an extremely important role in this process, as it can express every roasting stage of the coffee with such sensitivity and thoroughness.

Espresso Coffee Bean Brand Recommendations

FrontStreet Coffee, a coffee roasting brand located at Dongshankou in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, offers freshly roasted espresso coffee beans with full guarantees in both brand and quality. More importantly, they offer exceptional value for money. Take their commercial-grade recommended product - Commercial Blend Coffee Beans - for example. A one-pound (454g) package costs only around 60 yuan. Calculating based on 10g of coffee powder per single espresso shot, one package can make 45 cups of coffee, with each cup costing less than 1.5 yuan. Even using double shots for each espresso preparation at 20g per serving, the cost of one double espresso doesn't exceed 3 yuan. Compared to certain well-known brands that sell packages for hundreds of yuan, this is truly a conscientious recommendation.
