Coffee is naturally grown in many tropical and sub-tropical countries around the world. Ethiopia is considered the origin of coffee. There are several types of coffee plants, but the most common are Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora. Coffee is processed through either wet or dry methods depending on water availability. Popular brewing methods include instant, filter, percolator, espresso, and vacuum infusion. Factors like grind size, water temperature, and steeping time impact coffee quality and flavor.
In order to fully appreciate an espresso coffee it is important to understand its characteristics. Too many people drink an espresso without really knowing what an Espresso Coffee is, what are the variour coffee varieties and types.
Coffee originated in Ethiopia and was discovered by a goatherd named Kaldi. It spread through the Middle East and Europe via travelers and traders and was introduced to America by Dutch colonists. There are three main types of coffee plants grown for commercial purposes, and coffee is now cultivated in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Arabian Peninsula. The process of turning coffee beans into a beverage involves harvesting, curing, roasting, grinding, brewing and various methods at each stage can impact the flavor of the final coffee.
Coffee is made by infusing roasted and ground coffee beans in boiling water. There are many coffee styles including espresso, cappuccino, latte, etc. Most coffee is made with an espresso machine, which uses steam pressure to speed up the brewing process. Proper maintenance and cleaning of the machine is important. Good coffee beans should be fresh, uniform in color, and release an aroma when ground. Following correct procedures for grinding, tamping, and extracting the coffee is necessary to produce a quality crema. Milk is frothed with steam and added accordingly to different coffee styles. Coffee is presented with attention to details like cup placement and garnishing.
Coffee production involves several steps from planting coffee trees to harvesting coffee cherries to processing and drying the beans. There are two main processing methods - the dry method where cherries are sun dried and the wet method where cherries are pulped and fermented before drying. The beans are then milled, sorted, roasted, ground, and brewed to produce various coffee drinks. Common coffee drinks include espresso, Americano, latte, mocha, cappuccino, Turkish coffee, and filter coffee which are made by varying the coffee grounds, brewing methods and addition of milk or other ingredients.
This document discusses the art of coffee making. It begins by describing how most people get their energy from coffee in the mornings due to its aromatic and energizing properties. It then discusses the different types of coffee beans used - Arabica and Robusta beans - and how baristas blend them for flavor. The document also outlines the careful steps baristas take to make the perfect cup of coffee, such as properly grinding beans and extracting espresso. It concludes by describing some of the health benefits of drinking coffee regularly, such as containing antioxidants and possibly reducing stress.

Coffee is a brewed drink made from roasted coffee beans. It originated in Ethiopia in the 11th century and spread through the Arabian peninsula. There are two main ways of processing coffee beans - dry processing which is older, and wet processing which is more modern. Coffee beans are roasted in four categories - light, medium, medium dark, and dark - which impacts the flavor. The most common types of coffee beans are Arabica and Robusta, which differ in size, caffeine content, and taste. Popular coffee drinks include espresso, cappuccino, latte, americano, macchiato, mocha, and affogato.
This document provides instructions for roasting coffee beans at home using an air popcorn popper. It recommends ordering green coffee beans online and using a popcorn popper, large bowl, measuring cup, baking sheet, and small bowl as equipment. The instructions explain how to roast a 1/4 cup of beans at a time by placing them in the popper, monitoring until the second crack, then dumping and sorting the beans. The beans need to degas for several hours before use. Roasting coffee beans at home takes only 15 minutes and improves with practice.
Workers who produce coffee suffer from low wages, poor working conditions, and even slave and child labor. While most coffee is consumed in wealthy nations, it is produced by small-scale farmers in developing countries. Fair trade systems aim to promote social justice for farmers, but fair trade coffee still only accounts for a small percentage of global production. Some criticize Starbucks for claiming to support fair trade while purchasing less than 1% of its coffee through fair trade networks. The document encourages supporting local, fair trade coffee shops as an alternative to large chains.
From Ethiopia, coffee was said to spread to Egypt and Yemen.
In 1600 Baba Budan, an Indian smuggler-pilgrim, he illegally brought '7 coffee beans as no. 7 is considered as a sacred number in Islam' from Mecca to India. The History of Coffee and Coffee Houses is briefly presented to you by TrekOfEats. Edited by Noor Naaz.

The goal is to teach baristas to properly prepare, extract espresso, and craft drinks using the best techniques and highest quality ingredients.
After being planted, coffee trees take 3-4 years to begin bearing fruit in the form of coffee cherries. Coffee cherries are harvested in one of two ways: strip picked, where all cherries are removed from the branch at once, or selectively picked, where only ripe cherries are individually picked by hand. There are two primary processing methods: dry processing, where fresh cherries are dried in the sun, and wet processing, where cherries are pulped to remove the skin and pulp. Processed coffee beans are then sorted, graded, packaged, and shipped worldwide for roasting. Roasting transforms green beans into the aromatic brown beans we purchase. Coffee is then ground to different degrees depending on the brewing
The document discusses the different types of coffee based on how they are prepared and their composition. Some of the main types covered include drip or filtered coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte, macchiato, Americano and Turkish coffee. Espresso serves as the base for many other coffee drinks and can be prepared alone or combined with hot water, milk or cream in various proportions depending on the specific type of coffee. Vacuum brewing and Turkish style boiling are also mentioned as alternative preparation methods that produce distinctive coffee flavors.
This document discusses various coffee brewing methods and their key parameters. It describes the steps involved in popular brewing techniques like drip coffee, French press, Aeropress and espresso. Grind size and extraction time are important factors that affect the taste of brewed coffee. The document also explains how different brewing methods like pour over, vacuum and Moka pot work by filtering hot water through ground coffee at varying pressure levels to extract flavors.

Once roasted, coffee beans start to go stale immediately and will remain fresh for up to 3-4 weeks when stored whole in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ground coffee only stays fresh for about a day and pre-ground coffee loses smell, taste and health benefits quickly. For maximum freshness, buy smaller amounts of coffee more often from a local roaster.

Coffee House Coffee
First of all, all coffee in a coffee house starts with espresso. Hopefully they use healthy organic coffee in making their espresso but you probably have to ask for it. Espresso is very concentrated coffee that retains a lot of dissolved as well as suspended solids from the roasted coffee bean. It is made by forcing steam (boiling water) through fine ground coffee. It has a thicker feel because of the suspended solids and foam because of the pressurized steam. Espresso concentrates the flavors of coffee and is served in a small cup, usually an ounce (30 cc). Espresso is about four times more concentrated than the cup of coffee that you probably had a home for breakfast.
Caffeine acts as a mild stimulant in the nervous system and produces feelings of alertness and well-being. It works by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain. While caffeine has positive effects in moderation, too much can cause restlessness, insomnia, and irregular heartbeats. Germany consumes the most coffee per person in Europe, followed by Spain, France, and the UK. Coffee grounds have various unusual non-drinking uses including repelling ants and deterring cats from using gardens as litter boxes.

All About Coffee
Coffee is a beverage in every country in the world.
Granted, the coffees of different countries vary in
taste (and strength), but every country has coffee of
some kind. The history of coffee is long and storied,
and coffee is called by many names in many lands. The
Spice Islands' name for it was Java. Ancient Portuguese
explorers called it café. That word is often used to
mean a gathering place in many countries now. It stands
to reason because coffee is most often a shared
experience between friends.
Scientists believe that coffee was born in Ethiopia and
was a food rather than a beverage in the beginning.
Coffee was actually used as a replacement for wine.
Coffee was first used in religious ceremonies in place
of wine and the plants were considered so valuable that
removing even one was punishable.
Turks pulverized coffee beans and mixed them with water
and spices like cinnamon, cloves and cardamom back in
the thirteenth century to make what we call Turkish
coffee. It is believed that Venetian traders may have
brought coffee plants out of the East and into Italy.
Over the centuries we have learned a lot about coffee,
especially how important it is to store it in air tight
containers. Air is the biggest thief of coffee flavor,
whether the beans are whole or ground. Coffee should
always be stored in an air tight container in a cool
dark place but not in a refrigerator. Correct storage
is one of the major secrets of producing a great cup of
coffee with every brewing.

Amazing Coffee Tips That You Can Try Out Today
Think back -- which coffee cup do you remember the
most? Maybe you brewed it on your own or perhaps you
purchased it from a coffee shop. There are as many ways
to make coffee as there are types. The below article
contains some helpful knowledge on coffee.
If you are camping, coffee is a great item to bring.
Brewing coffee using a percolator is a more complex
process than typical brewing, so be sure to follow the
instructions carefully. Give the coffee extra time to
steep after brewing it before you drink it.
If a single brew doesn't have your preferred flavor
profile, try a blended brew made from a mix of various,
but complimentary flavors. Shops specializing in coffee
will be happy to assist you in selecting the right
blends to suit your individual taste and they may also
let you sample prior to purchasing.
Serve coffee immediately after brewing it. When coffee
sits on a burner or warming plate it continues to cook
and it gets bitter. For the best results and taste,
make just enough coffee for what you will drink right
away.
A container that does not allow any air in is the best
kind to store coffee in. Air makes coffee beans stale.
Don't use square bags since they won't be able to keep
the air out once you break the seal. They allow air to
escape after roasting while cooling.
Before pouring a cup, let the coffee finish brewing. If
you pour yourself a cup of coffee mid-brew, it will
lack flavor, as the flavor is added as the cycle
progresses. Brewing coffee does not hit its maximum
flavor until the drip cycle nears its end.
4. 4
Grind your own coffee beans. Coffee will taste better
if it has been freshly ground. Burr mill coffee
grinders do the best job of grinding beans. Burr mill
grinders do a good job of making the grind size
uniform, which contributes to the overall taste of the
coffee.
When you buy beans in bulk, you should take extra
precautions to keep them fresh. Fresh beans absorb
other flavors and lose their own if they're exposed to
heat and light. That is why your beans need to be
stored in a non-transparent, sealed container.
Only grind your coffee right before brewing it. Once
coffee is ground it begins to lose flavor. Blade
grinders are your best bet. This will create a less
powdery substance with your grinds, which can improve
the taste.
After buying coffee beans and opening the bag, don't
leave them in that bag as your storage solution. The
container should be air tight and able to keep out
damaging light. Your beans will stay fresh for longer
this way.
Iced coffee gets watery when the ice melts. Pour
leftover brew into ice cube trays to make iced coffees
that taste great to the very end. Frozen coffee cubes
melting in your hot coffee just boost the taste while
they melt.
Purchase and grind coffee beans yourself. A cup of
coffee from your own freshly ground beans are hard to
beat. There are many different places to buy coffee,
and your local grocery store will usually carry a large
variety to choose from. Give yourself plenty of time to
explore all the different varieties and find one that
truly speaks to you.
5. 5
Freshly roasted beans make the best coffee. If you
insist on buying whole beans, make sure they haven't
expired and check the roasting date. Instead of buying
your coffee beans in a grocery store, it is a good idea
to get them at a coffee shop, specialty store or
online.
If you prefer to make your own coffee, consider mixing
the coffee pot right after you brew it. A simple quick
stir can help you get the most from your coffee. You'll
enjoy better coffee this way.
If your morning coffee does not taste right, keep in
mind that bad-tasting water will produce bad-tasting
coffee. If the water from your tap has a consistently
bad taste, attach a filter to the tap. You can also use
bottled water when you make your coffee or filter your
water with a pitcher.
Don't toss out unused coffee. Don't reheat it either.
What you should do is store it in your refrigerator
inside of a plastic container. The leftover coffee is
perfect for making iced coffee and you will always have
a supply on hand to fix that craving.
Replicate those coffees you see in shops at home. You
might be surprised by how easy it is to make seemingly
fancy coffee drinks. Not only is this a more cost-
effective way to enjoy premium coffee, but it also lets
you calibrate each recipe to your own tastes.
As you can see, there are many different varieties of
coffee. Now you want to purchase your next batch of
coffee don't you? You will want to keep these hints and
tips in mind when you are at the store looking for
coffee to buy. Enjoy your coffee!

How to Make the Best Delicious Decision
Many people assume that it is easy to make a pot of
coffee. Coffee is a powerful thing and ought to be
treated accordingly. No matter whether you have just
taken up the coffee habit or are a devoted coffee
connoisseur, reading this article will enrich your
coffee drinking experience.
Buying a cup of joe from a coffee shop might seem
expensive, but it's an occasional luxury. There are
many wonderful choices and you may give yourself a
topping of chocolate curls or whipped cream or simply
have an espresso that is full of froth.
Re-use your old coffee grounds. Go green and don't
throw out your old grounds. Be kind to the environment.
Start a compost pile. Coffee grounds are the perfect
addition to your compost heap. Your plants will enjoy
the added nutrients. Old coffee grounds can deter pests
and small animals.
Make sure you drink your coffee in moderation. Drinking
excessive amounts of coffee can lead to dehydration.
You need at least a few glasses of water for each
coffee cup to maintain a balance. When drinking more
than a single cup, you are going to boost your
dehydration level. Exercise caution because of this.
Try replicating your favorite coffee shop drinks at
home. Fancier coffee drinks, such as cafe mocha, are a
good place to start. You can save money and flavor them
to your liking.
Determine the amount of cups you desire to create in
advance before you brew. A typical cup contains six
ounces and a measuring cup contains eight. The best
ratio is about 2 tbsp of coffee to 6 ounces water.
Using an official measuring cup makes for a weak blend.
7. 7
It can be rather easy to not get the optimal taste from
your coffee by under or over-brewing it. The optimal
length of time for brewing is four to five minutes.
Over-brewed coffee tastes bitter. But under brewed
coffee will produce a bland and weak cup of coffee.
Brew a plain pot of water before brewing your coffee to
get the ideal performance out of an old coffee machine.
You want to add the grounds first and then pour the hot
water into the machine. This will help you get the best
tasting coffee.
Know what different coffee grinds have to offer you by
way of strength and flavor. For example, espresso is
made with the finest grind of beans while a medium
grind is best for brewing with a coffee maker. A French
press uses coarse beans, so it is important that you
use the right grind.
If iced coffee appeals to you, think about making a pot
of strong coffee in the evening and letting it chill
overnight. This allows your coffee to chill the proper
way. To properly sweeten your iced coffee, add
sweetener before placing in the refrigerator. This will
produce an ideal iced coffee drink by morning.
It is imperative that you utilize good water if you
want to brew coffee that tastes good. You might want to
use bottled water. Even though you might not want to
spend money on water, it will have a positive impact on
the taste of your coffee. If you don't want to go the
bottled route, think about buying a purifier for your
faucet.
To help a fresh carafe of coffee retain its flavor,
take it off the heating source after ten minutes at the
most. If it stays on longer than that, the coffee will
not taste right. If you want to keep your coffee warm,
place it in an air tight thermos that will keep in the
heat.
8. 8
Coffee subscription clubs are available for those who
want to purchase coffee at a discount. You can get all
kinds of discounts through these clubs. Not only that,
there are clubs which only send beans when you are
almost out of them. By doing this, you ensure that you
will never be short on beans or have coffee that is
stale.
Taste the water you are using before you use it to brew
your coffee. It makes sense that your coffee will taste
funny if your water does. Don't use distilled water
though, because is lacks the necessary minerals that
coffee needs for flavor.
Do not let air get into the container that you use to
store your coffee. If your container leaks air, you
risk refrigerator odors being absorbed into your
coffee. Storing coffee for a period of weeks in the
wrong container can lead to moist beans or grounds.

From Latte to Cappuccino, Better Coffee Starts Here
Coffee is a fantastic way to begin the morning! Maybe
you enjoy a cup of iced coffee on a hot day? Coffee can
be enjoyed in so many ways. The following tips will
help you better enjoy all that coffee has to offer.
Do not think that you just have to keep your coffee
stored in the freezer. Coffee sometimes absorbs flavors
or odors from neighboring foods. Your best choice is to
store coffee in an opaque, air tight container in an
area at or near room temperature. If you wish to put it
in the refrigerator make sure it's kept in sealed
freezer bags.
To get a stronger and more flavorful cup of coffee,
consider investing in a French press. The purpose of
this press is to produce more oil from your coffee
beans. In regular machines, these oils are often lost
when they are absorbed into paper filters.
If you're using a drip coffee brewer, make sure the
water you put into it is cold. Never use warm or hot
water in drip style coffee pots. As the water brews, it
is heated. If you start with hot water, you will
probably burn the coffee. This leads to poor tasting
coffee and can be a safety issue as well.
When you buy your coffee machine, experiment with it.
This means running a brewing cycle as if you are making
coffee using only water. That way, any dirt and dust it
may have accumulated while sitting on the store's shelf
will be removed.
If you are going camping, you should try perking coffee
over a campfire using a metal pot. Using a percolator
creates a wonderful atmosphere and results in a unique
experience. Remember to allow your brewed coffee a
chance to steep before consuming it.
10. 10
No matter what type of coffee is being brewed, you must
quickly take the pot off the burner so that the
coffee's flavor is not ruined. That's how coffee gets
scalded. Scalded coffee is nasty.
To make your coffee have a mix of tastes, buy creamers
or syrups to pour in after the brewing is done. This
ensures that you get the cleanest and purest brew from
your coffee machine. It also lets you give guests
exactly the choice they want. Add any additional
flavors prior to the milk. This gives them a chance to
dissolve entirely.
A lot of people believe that drinks with caffeine, like
coffee, can assist with weight loss. Caffeine can give
you a jolt of energy and help metabolism. Weight loss
is possible if you mix these with a higher activity
level, yet it is far from being the better way to lose
weight.
There are so many types of coffee from which to choose.
Some people like more mild flavors; others like a full
dark roast. You can also get flavored coffees such as
hazelnut or raspberry. Drinking flavored coffee is not
as popular as simply adding a flavored creamer to
regular coffee.
Always take the coffee off of the heat after it is done
brewing. The coffee will cook and its flavor will be
ruined if you leave it on the maker. Put it inside an
insulated container if you're not going to drink all of
it.
Add a small pinch of salt to reduce an acid flavor in
your coffee. Take care not to use too much, however.
This simple trick only works if you go easy on the
salt. Many enthusiasts recommend sea salt, which
possesses a less intrusive and more natural taste.

In order to reduce your expenditures on coffee, think
about exploring subscription clubs. You can take
advantage of many discounts, which can be profitable.
The best clubs will even allow you to receive the beans
when you actually need them. If you do this, you will
never face the situation of having no beans or being
stuck with stale coffee.
Add your favorite online coffee shop to your social
networking profile. You will get the most up-to-date
information this way. You may also be able to find
deals that are available online only.
Pour flavor syrups right into your hot coffee; then
stir it prior to adding creamer or milk. Syrup will
dissolve faster in warm coffee. When you do it this
way, the syrup’s taste and smell will be far stronger.
Dissolve your flavored syrup in your cup of coffee and
finish with cream and sugar if you wish.
Grinding coffee beans on your own can be a very
practical and fulfilling solution. Many coffee
enthusiasts will tell you that freshly ground coffee
beans make the greatest tasting coffee brew. Burr mill
grinders give you the maximum quality grind you could
hope for. Using a burr mill grinder will ensure that
your coffee grounds are all an even size.
People around the world enjoy drinking coffee. If you

Which Espresso Maker is Right for You?
Do you love espresso coffee so much that you spend too
much money every week at your local favorite coffee
shop? Okay, maybe it is time for you to consider
buying your own espresso maker so that you can make
espresso at home and save yourself a lot of money in
the process.
Granted, the price of an espresso machine is going to
put a dent in your wallet but it really won't take very
long for you to recover the investment when you start
making your own delicious coffee at home rather than
buying it already made for you at café’s and coffee
shops.
The first thing that you will need to decide about the
espresso coffee maker that you will buy is what size
machine will best serve your needs. Espresso machines
are sized by the number of cups of coffee that can be
made at a time. For example, there are 4-cup espresso
coffee makers and there are 12-cup espresso coffee
makers. A word of information: the cup size of an
espresso coffee maker is of the 4-ounce variety and not
the larger regular coffee cup size of 7-8 ounces.
Your next consideration before purchasing your own
espresso coffee maker is whether you want the machine
to be manual, semiautomatic or fully automatic and also
you will need to decide how many "added features" you
want or need. There are a lot of choices out there. You
will need to know exactly what your espresso coffee
maker will and will not do before you buy.
Additionally, there are a lot of different brands. A
good way to determine which espresso coffee maker will
best serve your particular needs is to talk to your
friends who already own them and see what they like and

or dislike about their own machines. Check out our
