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.

Dois-je régler mon moulin à café ? Oui. Les torréfactions plus claires sont généralement plus intenses que les torréfactions foncées. Pour avoir une meilleure extraction, réglez votre taille de mouture pour augmenter la surface. Les torréfactions plus claires peuvent être un peu plus fines, et les torréfactions plus sombres légèrement plus grossières.

Combien de mg de caféine y a-t-il dans un café ? Contrairement à la croyance populaire, il y a moins de caféine dans un expresso comparé à une tasse de café de 225 g. En moyenne, une dose d’expresso contient environ 65 mg de caféine alors qu’une tasse de café en contient 70 à 140 mg. Le café Robusta contient des pourcentages de caféine plus élevés par grain que le café Arabica, tandis que les torréfactions plus claires ont un contenu en caféine plus élevé que les torréfactions plus foncées.

What country drinks the most coffee? The biggest coffee drinkers in the world are the Nordic countries. Finland currently tops the list with 26.5 lbs consumed per capita each year, followed by Norway with 22 lbs, Iceland with 20lbs, and Denmark with 19 lbs per capita.

Single-Origin Coffee and Blends – What’s the difference?

Single-Origin Coffee and Blends – What’s the difference?

The label "single-origin" refers to coffee beans from one specific place. This is usually a particular country, region, or even the same coffee farm.

Coffee blends are mixtures of different bean types. These blends can be a combination of coffees from different varieties and profile values or from multiple origins from around the world. It's not uncommon to come across coffee blends with beans from several places, but most roasters will typically use two to a maximum of four coffee varieties.

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

Similar to the term "coffee", espresso holds more than one definition. Espresso is a beverage, but it can also refer to a specific brewing method. A standard shot of espresso is typically 40 ml and made from a pressurized extraction using finely ground coffee. It has a wonderfully rich body with a top layer of crema, or microfoam, which reveals its freshness and preparation accuracy. Espresso is also the starting point for popular drinks like the Cappuccino when mixed with foamed milk or the Americano when diluted with hot water.
