Interview with a Roastmaster

Interview with a Roastmaster ()

  „"We use mostly Central American beans, since they're the basis for a good espresso. We also use only 100 percent Arabica beans as opposed to Robusta, which aren't very good quality. Central American beans tend to be spicy as well as a harder bean, so they have less moisture. Beans from Java, on the other hand, are much softer.“

  „Coffee pods are great to buy in bulk since they're individually packaged and stay fresh for years. Arabica beans are necessary for really good espresso.“

  „Arabica coffees (that means every coffee we sell except those at the VERY end of our list under the Premium Robusta heading) produce a fine crema, with good aromatics, and a lighter brown-yellow color. Robusta coffees (from the species coffea canefora) make a greater volume of crema, but it has larger "bubbles" and dissipates faster. Robusta has about 2x the caffeine of arabica, 2.2 to 2.4% compared to 1.1 to 1.3% in arabica. It can have a very rubbery-medicinal flavor when there is too much in the espresso blend.“

  „I get my beans green from Voert's in Vernon and I wondered what type (mix ?) 0f beans works the best for espresso etc. I was thinking about a blend of Arabica and Robusta ? “

  „Wet-processed arabicas will contibute less to crema than their dry-priocessed counterparts, but you can still get a lot of crema from a 100% wet-process blend or straight shot. Arabica coffees Robusta coffees (coffea canephora) will create ample crema that has an attractive dark appearance, but is not as tightly-compacted as crema from arabica coffees, and lacks aroma. Robusta also has dramatic consequences for the flavor of the espresso and aftertaste, making long-lasting and pungent espresso, but potentially bitter notes. Lower quality, economical robusta in espresso is out of the question.“

  „I'd just go to coffee review and look at their espresso reviews. An e-mail to any of the companies will tell you if they use any robusta in their espresso blends.“
