Is coffee good for you? Coffee’s benefits include antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, making it a nutritious beverage with only three calories per espresso shot. Moderate amounts of caffeine also help stimulate the central nervous system and aid short-term information storage.

What is decaf coffee? Decaffeinated coffee is created by using solvents to remove coffee beans’ natural caffeine content. When processed properly, decaffeinated coffee beans should not taste any different from regular coffee beans, so it’s up to the consumer’s preference.

Should roasted coffee beans be oily? No. Dark, oily coffee beans with shimmering surfaces often mean that the roasting process was too strong, giving the beans a bitter taste and burnt aromatics. Exposing the oils to air can accelerate oxidation and rapidly deteriorate the coffee’s quality.

Do I have to adjust my coffee grinder? Yes. Lighter roasts are usually denser than darker roasts. To get a better extraction, adjust your grind size to increase surface area. Lighter roasts can be slightly finer, while dark roasts can be slightly coarser.

How many mg of caffeine is in coffee? Contrary to popular belief, there is less caffeine in an espresso versus an 8oz coffee.

Robusta coffee has higher caffeine percentages per bean than Arabica coffee, while lighter roasts typically have higher caffeine contents than darker roasts.

Single-origin kaffe och blandningar/blends – vad är skillnaden?

Beteckningen ”Single origin” syftar på kaffebönor från en och samma plats. Oftast handlar det om ett visst land, en viss region eller till och med samma kaffeodling.


Kaffeblandningar/kaffeblends är blandningar av olika bönsorter. Sådana blandningar kan vara en kombination av kaffe av olika sorter och med olika profilvärden eller från flera olika ursprung runt om i världen. Det händer inte sällan att kaffeblandningar innehåller bönor från flera olika platser, men de flesta rosterier använder vanligtvis två till högst fyra kaffesorter.

Labels & Fair Trade: is my coffee ethical and sustainable?

Coffee consumers have become increasingly more conscious of sustainable and ethical practices, such as the preservation of natural resources and labor rights. Some segments within the industry have implemented Fair Trade business models to ensure fair wages, sufficient training, and adequate working conditions for farmers. Other notable factors while shopping sustainably include the ‘Organic’ Label and certifications like UTZ, Rainforest Alliance, Proudly Made In Africa, and Direct Trade. While labels are telling, make sure to conduct your own research before buying.

What's the difference between coffee and espresso

ca-ADP-1920-desk-coffe-basics-sidecard-espresso-difference-mob-2x.jpg

Vad är skillnaden mellan kaffe och espresso?

Precis som begreppet ”kaffe” kan begreppet espresso definieras på mer än ett sätt. Espresso är en dryck, men begreppet kan också syfta på en specifik bryggmetod. En standard espresso är vanligtvis 40 ml och görs genom en extraktion under tryck med finmalet kaffe. Den har en underbart fyllig kropp med ett toppskikt av crema, eller mikroskum, som visar på färskheten och noggrannheten i tillredningen. Espresso är också grunden för populära drycker som Cappuccino, när den blandas med skummad mjölk eller Americano när den späds ut med varmt vatten.
