How to Know What Coffee Beans to Buy
Selecting the right coffee beans can seem daunting, but it's a delightful journey into the world of specialty coffee. The key is to understand your taste preferences and the type of coffee brewing equipment you own. Whether you’re a proud owner of a Breville coffee machine, a traditional French press, or a trendy Aeropress coffee maker, the choice of beans will influence your coffee's aroma and flavor.
Firstly, consider the roast level. Dark roast coffee beans are perfect for those who enjoy a robust, bold flavor, ideal for brewing in a French press or espresso machine. On the other hand, light roast coffee beans retain more of the original flavors of the bean, making them suitable for methods like V60 and Aeropress, where the delicate nuances can shine through.
Next, think about the origin. Single-origin coffee beans are from a specific region or even a single farm, known for their unique flavor profiles that reflect their growing environment. For example, Eight-Fifty Espresso’s Anatolian Black Bean is a medium roast that shines in lighter brew methods due to its chocolate, almond, and hazelnut notes with sweet apple acidity.
For those who value convenience along with quality, a coffee subscription from a reputable roaster warehouse like Eight-Fifty Espresso ensures that you regularly receive a selection of excellent coffee beans right at your doorstep.
What Are Good Coffee Beans to Buy
The definition of good coffee beans varies from one coffee lover to another, but typically, it revolves around freshness, quality, and sustainability. Look for beans from coffee roasters who prioritize speciality coffee practices, as these are more likely to offer not only the best coffee but also support ethical sourcing practices.
For a blend that offers rich complexity and versatility, try Eight-Fifty Espresso’s Kiko Bean. This medium to dark roast features notes of dark chocolate and hazelnut, perfect for those who enjoy their coffee with a bit of milk or as a straight espresso.
Moreover, by purchasing from us, you contribute to environmental sustainability. In partnership with TREELABS, we ensure that for every bag of coffee sold, 10 trees are planted, enhancing your experience by knowing that each sip supports a greener planet.
What Coffee Beans to Buy for Espresso
When it comes to brewing the perfect espresso, choosing the right beans is crucial. Espresso brewing requires a fine grind and a high-pressure coffee machine, like a Breville coffee machine, to extract the rich flavors and creamy texture that espresso is known for.
The best beans for coffee espresso are typically a dark roast, providing the bold and intense flavor profile that stands up to the espresso brewing process. For a truly exceptional espresso experience, consider Eight-Fifty Espresso’s Kalahari Bean blend. It's designed to create a rich, velvety crema and a balanced flavor profile with tones of caramel and milk chocolate that espresso enthusiasts adore.
