☕️ Quick Coffee Facts

Coffee Bean vs Espresso Bean: Which One is Right for Your Brew?

☕️ While coffee beans and espresso beans share similarities in processing, roasting, and physical appearance, the intention behind their production differs. Espresso beans are specifically designed to make great cups of espresso.

💡 Espresso beans are roasted longer and darker than regular coffee beans, resulting in a deeper, bolder, and stronger taste. They are also ground into a finer consistency to accommodate espresso machines.

🔄 Grind size is crucial, and espresso beans are ground to an extremely fine size to ensure proper extraction in espresso machines. In contrast, regular coffee beans can be ground to various sizes for different brewing methods.

🔥 Roasting time and darkness significantly impact the flavor and taste of coffee. Espresso beans are roasted longer and darker to bring out more oils and intensify the flavor, while regular coffee beans are roasted lighter to preserve natural flavors.

👀 When it comes to brewing and taste, espresso beans are designed for espresso machines and produce a strong, bold, and dark taste. Regular coffee beans can be brewed using various methods and offer a lighter taste with hints of floral, fruit, berry, or herbs.
