 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.

what's the difference between latte and cappuccino

the difference between cappuccino and latte the difference between cappuccino and latte  do you ever find yourself standing at the counter at your local coffee house pondering the difference between cappuccino and latte? Ever wondered how this hugely popular specialty coffee industry got started? Let’s take a look.  The terms caffè and latte were first used in 1847 and later in 1867 they appeared in William Dean Howells essay "Italian Journeys". Latte means milk in Italian and the caffè version of this drink is an American invention.

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
