Collection: Espresso coffee beans

What are espresso coffee beans?

Espresso coffee beans are specially roasted to enhance the full flavor and rich texture of espresso. They are often medium to dark roasted, which caramelizes the natural sugars in the bean and creates a smooth, creamy finish. This gives espresso that signature balance of bitter, sweet, and sour, with a thick crema as a finishing touch.

Not all coffee beans are suitable for espresso. While filter coffee beans are often roasted lighter for a fresher taste, espresso coffee beans provide an intense and powerful cup of coffee. This makes them ideal for both a classic Italian espresso and a modern, specialty variant.

Which coffee beans are best for espresso?

The best coffee beans for espresso depend on your taste preferences. For a full, creamy espresso with notes of chocolate and nuts, Brazilian and Central American beans are an excellent choice. Want an espresso with more fruity and floral notes? Then Ethiopian or Colombian beans are perfect.

A single origin espresso has a distinct flavor profile and brings out the unique characteristics of the region. A blend combines beans from different countries to create a balanced and consistent espresso.

Espresso coffee beans for your espresso machine

Whether you use a fully automatic espresso machine, a semi-automatic piston machine or a manual espresso method, the right beans ensure the best taste.

For a fully automatic espresso machine, medium to dark roast blends are ideal, as they provide a stable and balanced extraction. If you are using a piston machine, you have more control and can choose either medium or dark roast beans, depending on your preference. Manual espresso machines work well with medium roast beans, as they bring out the subtle flavor notes better.
