Espresso was created so people could get a quick coffee fix! But before we get into why, what are espresso beans?? I thought espresso was just some kind of coffee….They’re really just…*suspense*…coffee beans, usually Arabica. Espresso is a way of making coffee quicker by using pressure. An Italian, Luigi Bezzerea, invented this “espresso” machine so his employees wouldn’t take so long making coffee…that explains a lot about by grandfather….Now coffee’s a very complex world and if you’re eating espresso beans you may not have the time to read it all :-). So here’s a discussion about why espresso beans are such an effective way of waking you up even though they have less caffein than an espresso, and some more about espresso and coffee beans. But here’s some quick info: coffee beans are actually the seeds of a cherry like fruit that tastes like melon or jasmin. The majority of coffee comes from the Arabica tree which is considered to have the most flavor with out the bitterness of Robusta beans (commonly used in instant coffee) which actually have more caffein. Usually, the higher the tree is the better the coffee is because it takes longer for the fruits to mature and concentrate their flavors. The cherries are hand picked and it is a very labor intensive process to shell and sort and finally roast them (brings out the oils) and that’s what gives coffee it’s great taste. Baristas, Italian for barkeeper, are guys who love to make coffee and a counter culture that’s growing. There are a lot of ways to brew coffee including the drip, the french piston, and the italian espresso. But at the mymuesli factory we prefer to have little more time in the morning to enjoy our organic chocolate covered espresso bean mix just that much more.
