Choosing a good coffee bean can make the difference between an ordinary morning and an excellent morning. Whether you have an automatic espresso machine, a manual espresso machine or a moka at home, the quality of the coffee beans matters a lot.
If you want a perfect espresso, the choice of coffee beans is essential. Whether you use an automatic, manual espresso machine or even a professional coffee grinder, the final taste depends mainly on the quality of the beans.
Arabica versus Robusta – The most popular varieties in the world are 100% Arabica. They offer a refined aroma, with floral or fruity notes, a less bitter taste and a lower caffeine content. In contrast, Robusta coffee is bitterer, stronger and contains more caffeine – often used in blends for added intensity and creaminess.
But the type of grain isn’t everything. The taste of coffee is also influenced by other factors:
- The degree of roasting (light, medium or dark roast) completely changes the aromatic profile;
- The preparation method (espresso, filter, moka, etc.) brings out other nuances;
- The quality of the espresso machine plays a decisive role in the extraction;
- And once the bag is opened, the storage method becomes fundamental: air, humidity and light can quickly degrade the flavor of the coffee.
