 What is the secret of the difference in the taste of coffee? The main roasts are light, medium, and dark. Dark roasting simply means the beans have been roasted longer than light roasts. Each type of roasting affects the oil and sugar concentration in the bean, thus shaping its flavor. Generally, light roasting results in a more acid (sour) taste, while dark roasting has a stronger and heavier flavor. Most roasters mix the beans with different roasting types to produce a distinctive taste. There are all sorts of names given to roast types. Some names indicated their place of origin (Italian), or when to drink coffee (breakfast). Here are some common examples: Light Roast: Cinnamon, Half City, and New England. Average roasting: full town, breakfast, and regular. Dark Roast: French, Viennese, Italian, and Spanish. Most of the roasting operations are done by machines, and all are based on some basic principles: a cooling system to stop the cooking process.

The Perfect Cappuccino - How To Foam Milk


The objective of milk steaming and foaming is to produce a firm, semi-liquid velvety milk foam, ideal for cappuccinos and lattes. This is achieved by the use of heat and air, by way of steam.

Only use stainless steel jugs when attempting to foam milk. Never use plastic, glass or china jugs. Stainless steel offers good heat transfer which is an essential part of the process.

Always use chilled fresh milk - milk will take in air easier if it is cold. Full fat milk produces a denser, longer lasting foam than low fat milk, but this is personal preference.

As the volume of the milk foam mixture will expand to nearly double its original size, make sure you only half fill the jug to begin with.

The first thing to do is to purge the steam wand of any water residue, making sure that none of the steam jets are blocked and position the wand so that it will allow the jug to easily pass under the tip.

The tip of the steam wand should be placed about 1 cm below the surface of the milk and in the centre.

Turn the steam valve fully on.

Holding the jug in both hands, gently adjust the depth of the wand tip until you hear a distinct "tssss tssss" sound which indicates that air is being drawn into the milk. As the milk is 'stretched' or expanded the milk level in the jug will rise swiftly. As this happens, lower the jug slowly, keeping the tip just below the surface at all times.

If the milk bubbles too fiercely and spits then the tip is too high and you should raise the jug slightly, however if you hear a screech then there is insufficient volume of steam so you should lower the jug slightly.

During this process try to avoid breaking the surface of the milk with the tip as this can introduce large bubbles into the mixture and spoil its texture.

To complete the process, lower the tip of the steam wand (by raising the jug) towards the bottom of the jug and at the same time move the wand to one side of the jug. The milk should start to swirl and you should here a high pitched growl. This adds texture to the mixture as many tiny bubbles are formed.

Continue to swirl the milk in this way until the side of the jug is too hot to touch comfortably and the growl becomes a low purr. Turn off the steam quickly with the wand tip still submerged.

The wand should be removed from the mixture and cleaned.

Tap the jug on the counter and swirl the jug around gently. You should have a jug of firm, velvety foam over hot steamed milk.

Pour the mixture over an espresso by gently rocking the jug from side to side to ensure the right combination of hot milk and foam is delivered into the cup.

The first thing to do is to purge the steam wand of any water residue, making sure that none of the steam jets are blocked and position the wand so that it will allow the jug to easily pass under the tip.

The tip of the steam wand should be placed about 1 cm below the surface of the milk and in the centre.

Turn the steam valve fully on.

Holding the jug in both hands, gently adjust the depth of the wand tip until you hear a distinct "tssss tssss" sound which indicates that air is being drawn into the milk. As the milk is 'stretched' or expanded the milk level in the jug will rise swiftly. As this happens, lower the jug slowly, keeping the tip just below the surface at all times.

If the milk bubbles too fiercely and spits then the tip is too high and you should raise the jug slightly, however if you hear a screech then there is insufficient volume of steam so you should lower the jug slightly.

During this process try to avoid breaking the surface of the milk with the tip as this can introduce large bubbles into the mixture and spoil its texture.

To complete the process, lower the tip of the steam wand (by raising the jug) towards the bottom of the jug and at the same time move the wand to one side of the jug. The milk should start to swirl and you should here a high pitched growl. This adds texture to the mixture as many tiny bubbles are formed.

Continue to swirl the milk in this way until the side of the jug is too hot to touch comfortably and the growl becomes a low purr. Turn off the steam quickly with the wand tip still submerged.

The wand should be removed from the mixture and cleaned.

Tap the jug on the counter and swirl the jug around gently. You should have a jug of firm, velvety foam over hot steamed milk.

Pour the mixture over an espresso by gently rocking the jug from side to side to ensure the right combination of hot milk and foam is delivered into the cup.

The objective of milk steaming and foaming is to produce a firm, semi-liquid velvety milk foam, ideal for cappuccinos and lattes. This is achieved by the use of heat and air, by way of steam.

Only use stainless steel jugs when attempting to foam milk. Never use plastic, glass or china jugs. Stainless steel offers good heat transfer which is an essential part of the process.

e plastic, glass or china containers. Tempered steel offers great warmth move which is a fundamental piece of the procedure.

Continuously utilize chilled new milk - milk will take in air simpler in the event that it is cold. Full fat milk creates a denser, longer enduring froth than low fat milk, however this is close to home inclination.

As the volume of the milk froth blend will extend to about twofold its unique size, ensure you just half fill the container in any case.

The main activity is to cleanse the steam wand of any water buildup, ensuring that none of the steam planes are blocked and position the wand so it will permit the container to handily go under the tip.

The tip of the steam wand ought to be put around 1 cm beneath the outside of the milk and in the inside.

Turn the steam valve completely on.

Holding the container in two hands, tenderly modify the profundity of the wand tip until you hear a particular "tssss" sound which demonstrates that air is being brought into the milk. As the milk seems to be 'extended' or extended the milk level in the container will rise quickly. As this occurs, bring down the container gradually, keeping the tip just beneath the surface consistently.

In the event that the milk bubbles too wildly and spits, at that point the tip is excessively high and you should raise the container somewhat, in any case on the off chance that you hear a shriek, at that point there is lacking volume of steam so you should bring down the container marginally.

During this procedure attempt to abstain from breaking the outside of the milk with the tip as this can bring enormous air pockets into the blend and ruin its surface.

To finish the procedure, bring down the tip of the steam wand (by raising the container) towards the base of the container and simultaneously move the wand aside of the container. The milk should begin to twirl and you ought to here a shrill snarl. This adds surface to the blend the same number of little air pockets are framed.

Keep on twirling the milk along these lines until the side of the container is too hot to even consider touching easily and the snarl turns into a low murmur. Mood killer the steam rapidly with the wand tip despite everything lowered.

The wand ought to be expelled from the blend and cleaned.

Tap the container on the counter and whirl the container around delicately. You ought to have a container of firm, smooth froth over hot steamed milk.

Pour the blend over a coffee by delicately shaking the container from side to side to guarantee the correct mix of hot milk and froth is conveyed into the cup.

Appreciate.

What are the different types of coffee beans?

  What are the different types of coffee beans? There are about 25 major species within the Genus “ Coffea ” but only three (3) are cultivated for commercial coffee consumption. These are; Coffea Arabica  ( Arabica ), pronounced either a-rã-bik-a or ar-a-bë-ka. This species makes up about 70% of the world market for coffee beans. Being a higher value taste, this fancy grade coffee bean is sold mostly through specialty coffee shops. Arabica being grown on steep terrain makes mechanical harvesting impossible. The hand picking ensures a better quality of selection with less under/overripe beans being selected. Coffea canephora  (referred to as  Robusta ) This high caffeine content species makes up about 27% of the world coffee bean market. Being cheaper to produce coffee beans but with a lower taste profile, this coffee is often sold for use in instant coffee. It is produced primarily in Indonesia, West Africa, Brazil, and Vietnam. Also known by botanists as  Coffea bukobensis A. Zimm. ,

How does espresso become golden brown, not black ?!

I found the answer Scott Danzig, Learned all about the specialty coffee industry when considering opening a coffee house. When espresso “settles down”, it should be fairly black. When properly brewed, you’d have the oils from the beans forming little bubbles that are generously mixed into your espresso shot. If you go for a double or triple shot, you’d likely have more black, settled liquid at the bottom, but you probably should have more golden-brown, bubbly liquid than what you’re describing. This is likely because your coffee is not offering enough resistance to the water that flows through it. Possible causes: You didn’t “tamp” your coffee properly You need to use a coffee tamper and apply 30 pounds of pressure. I’d call it a firm but not strenuous shove onto the grounds. Generally, you twist the tamper a bit before removing it to smooth out the surface. The tamper should be pushed down a level, not to one side or the other, so water is resisted equally throughout. Some tamper actu
 What is the secret of the difference in the taste of coffee? The main roasts are light, medium, and dark. Dark roasting simply means the beans have been roasted longer than light roasts. Each type of roasting affects the oil and sugar concentration in the bean, thus shaping its flavor. Generally, light roasting results in a more acid (sour) taste, while dark roasting has a stronger and heavier flavor. Most roasters mix the beans with different roasting types to produce a distinctive taste. There are all sorts of names given to roast types. Some names indicated their place of origin (Italian), or when to drink coffee (breakfast). Here are some common examples: Light Roast: Cinnamon, Half City, and New England. Average roasting: full town, breakfast, and regular. Dark Roast: French, Viennese, Italian, and Spanish. Most of the roasting operations are done by machines, and all are based on some basic principles: a cooling system to stop the cooking process.
