Favorite roast is medium/dark roast. great for espresso and any other method, for me it's the perfect balance between tasting the impact of the roasting and the original taste of the bean

I wish you explain the actual technical difference between the espresso and regular beans. Are there differences in roasting process? Can you convert a regular bean to espresso beans by roasting it further at certain temperature and time?

@JamesAllen-CoffeeAndTeaMan Жыл бұрын

The only difference is the brewing method. Any roasted coffee beans, light or dark, could be used with the espresso method, or any brewing method. Whether they taste good or not is a different story.

@gerassimos.fourlanos Ай бұрын

Not very clear. Is the difference between espresso and regular coffee the roasting of the beans to dark roast, or are they different beans?

Great job on this video! Very thorough. However the trend these days is to use lighter roasted beans in the espresso method. I don’t like the trend at all but people seem to be loving it. The new thing they say is you can use any bean to brew espresso. Classic dark roasts are always going to be better in espresso (IMO).

What if you told me that they are not the same thing? I would say that you are wrong. While "espresso beans" may be more suitable for espresso, it's just subjective because you can use any beans to make any type of coffee.

From the beginning of the video I thought there are light beans, medium and dark, and darker are better for espresso. But then says don’t use regular old beans for espresso because some too light and some too dark so make sure to use espresso. Sooooooo there are ‘regular beans’ and ‘espresso’ beans???

My friend swears you can take regular coffee beans and make espresso and that there is no such thing as espresso beans because its all just regular coffee beans, and in order to make espresso with it you just use a large amount of it. And apparently this is how you make lattes.... with regular coffee beans....

@ROYKN6WBK 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comments. Maybe roasting a regular dark roast bean longer in an oven may produce an ideal espresso bean. I'm still fooling around with it.

@wissamharb5684 2 жыл бұрын

the idea is that of you want to achieve the best possible extraction using very little water, you want to go with darker roasts. Lighter beans however will need more water in the brewing method.

Generally supermarket coffee is all espresso. If you are buying from a roaster then yes chose for espresso. Your beans sound like they are roasted for espresso anyway. Nobody refers to coffee for as regular coffee btw. It is filter or espresso

Also, if you buy freshly roasted beans from your local roaster, you'll have a much better outcome over supermarket coffee. And that's because the supermarket coffee may be six months to one year old. This will result in a flat or not very tasty shot of espresso. But if you buy fresh coffee from a local roaster, it'll give you a better extraction, with thicker crema and a much better tasting shot of espresso.

I believe that oily beans are an indication of beans that have been roasted too long... the chemical reaction in the bean causes the lipids to come out to the surface immediately. They can also be an indication of beans that have not been properly stored... just because some beans are more suitable for espresso doesn't mean that they have to be oily... Italian coffee shops use dark roasted coffee beans that include robusta beans not just arabica and definitely not follow our North American obsession with "single origin coffee."

few information in this video is misleading....all roast of coffee can be used as espresso, yes espresso roast is like dark roast , crema is the worst tasting part of the coffee came from the oil and fine particle from your puck. you can extract espresso with almost no crema or alot of crema....but what do I know I don't have a coffee bean channel. but really now a days coffee drinkers want to be able to taste the fruit and floral notes in the coffee so many prefer to use light roast for espresso as well, first crack to second crack is just as qualify for espresso use. so really espresso coffee bean is still coffee bean, only difference now a days is really prep medthod, drip/ pour/ extract, which ever suits the person.... in the end when they reference espresso beans...you're really talking about espresso roast on coffee beans
