Our speciality roasted coffee is created for purpose, based on the style of brewing you are most familiar with, or use day to day. In this case, our roast is purposely crafted for espresso brewing.
Whats the big difference? Well, our espresso roasts are typically roasted for a longer period of time, at a higher temperature which makes the grind easier to dissolve in less amounts of water as the grinds are more soluble. Perfect for a 1:2 espresso brew.
The higher roast temperature and longer roast times also allow the extraction to push past the sourness of under extraction and produce a more balanced, sweet espresso.
If you are loving the sound of this roast, but prefer a filter brew method of coffee extraction then fear not!
Our espresso roasts can still produce a delicious filter brew. Grab a sample and try if for yourself!
What is the real difference between roasts?
The process of roasting filter vs espresso roasts is completely different and results in a very different end product. Our espresso roasts are roasted for longer & at higher temperatures which produces a sweet and balanced extraction that filters out sourness.
Our filter roasts are roasted at lower temperatures, for a shorter period of time which results in a sweet & clearer extraction allowing you to taste the full flavour profile of the roast. Our filter roasts are not recommended for espresso extraction as they can result in a fairly bitter, sour cup of coffee.
Why doesnt my coffee taste right?
There are 5 main components involved in brewing the perfect cup of coffee:
- Ratio
- Grind
- Temperature
- Time
- Water
Regardless if you are brewing Espresso or Filter methods, changing any of the above variables will result in a different tasting cup of coffee. Check out our blog for a full in depth guide to mastering your perfect brew.
