FAQ
DOES COFFEE GO BAD?
That depends on your definition of “bad”. Coffee can “spoil” – with heat and moisture it’s possible to develop mold. If coffee is stored in a cool, dry location away from sunlight, it can last for years without “spoiling”. What happens as coffee ages (after roasting), is that it loses the chemicals and compounds that give it much of its flavor. The generally accepted timeframe for peak freshness is: * Roasted whole beans: 1-2 weeks * Roasted and ground: 1-2 days Most non-coffee-snobs will notice very little change within time frames double that (2-4 weeks for whole bean, up to a week if ground). However, after that period the coffee has become a shadow of its former self – not bad, but not a really good cup either. Most grocery-store coffees are roasted weeks to months prior to being bought, due to the process of going through the supply chain. WHY DOES COFFEE MAKE ME TIRED? Everybody responds different to drugs, and the dominant drug in coffee (caffeine) is no different. Another potential cause is adrenal fatigue, where the adrenal glands are overworked and respond less to coffee’s stimulation. More often than not, people think coffee is a magic fix to their poor sleeping habits. It works short-term, but months or years of this simply ruins your body and mind. This is commonly perceived to be “caffeine tolerance”. The correct solution is to get better sleep on a consistent basis – 8 hours per night. Filed Under: UncategorizedCAFFEINE FAQ

December 7, 2015 by CoffeeFAQ Whole Earth Sweetener has shown up at Starbucks location, leading people to look into the sweetner and the company itself.

Negative reviews are geared more towards a misleading advertising – the premise of it containing fructose and erythritol runs counter to most peoples perception of it being “natural”. This may make it unsuitable for those with certain dietary restrictions. Filed Under: Uncategorized WHAT ARE THE MOST POPULAR ESPRESSO DRINKS? January 12, 2015 by CoffeeFAQ _BEST ESPRESSO DRINK RECIPES AND COFFEE DRINK RECIPES_ Do you enjoy a fine espresso coffee drink at the local coffeehouse but would like to make your own at home? It really isn’t that hard once you do a little preparation. Follow these steps and you will be brewing up fine espresso drinks indistinguishable from those made by highly trained Baristas. ESPRESSO MACHINES AND BEANS FOR SPECIALTY COFFEE DRINKS Of course you will need to have your own espresso machine and our guide will tell you some techniques specifically suited to your machine. We also give you tips on choosing the proper coffee beans which typically are dark-roasted and often labeled as Espresso Roast. Arabica coffee beans are the coffee bean varietal of choice when it comes to fine espresso, though many espresso blends will also include a small amount of Robusta coffee beans as well to enhance the flavor. GRINDING COFFEE FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE DRINKS Next we give you tips on coffee grinding ensuring that you use the proper coffee grinderand produce
the right grind size for your espresso machine . In general the grind size should be very fine, and the best type of coffee grinder to use is called a conical burr grinder. If you must you can use a standard blade coffee grinder but this is discouraged because blade grinders produce an inconsistent grind size and also tend to overheat the coffee beans during grinding, negatively affecting the fine flavors and aromas of the coffee. TAMPING THE COFFEE IN THE ESPRESSO MACHINE Okay now you are ready to place the roasted and ground coffee into the portafilter of the espresso machine and properly tamp the espresso. How you tamp the espresso has a significant effect on the quality of the subsequent espresso shot(s). A GOLDEN CREMA SIGNALS A PROPER SHOT OF ESPRESSO If you follow all of the instructions including using the proper Technical Specifications for Pulling a Perfect Espresso Shot, the result should be a very intense and concentrated espresso shot topped off with a golden brown Crema. STEAMING MILK PROPERLY CREATES VELVETY ESPRESSO DRINK To attain the skill of a barista you also need to master the techniques of Steaming and Frothing Milk properly. The goal here is a very rich and velvety steamed milk that blends perfectly with the espresso to create a harmony of flavors. Lastly your steaming and frothing technique using the steam wand of your espresso machine should create a foam composed of very tiny bubbles so small you can barely see them. The foam blends pleasantly with the espresso coffee drink, and does not just sit lifeless atop the coffee beverage. SOME SPECIALTY COFFEE DRINK VARIATIONS For those who prefer decaffeinated coffee you can purchase decaffeinated coffee beans and brew your espresso with them. This will create equally delicious espresso drinks without the caffeine. Many people prefer to brew their Espresso Coffee Drinks with coffee beans of Organic Coffee or Fair Trade Coffee with the goal of preserving their own health as well as the health and prosperity of the coffee farming communities. THE LUXURIES OF FINE ESPRESSO CUISINE Finally you may want to enhance the espresso coffee drink experience by accompanying your serving with fine Espresso Cuisine. We provide you with some great recipes so you can enjoy brioche, biscotti or other fine foods with your latte or cappuccino. If you would prefer more of a dessert dish then consider a tasty gelato orsorbetto.

Filed Under: Uncategorized HOW TO PULL AN ESPRESSO SHOT January 20, 2014 by CoffeeFAQ _SPECIALTY COFFEE DRINKS COME OUT PERFECT WITH THESE REMINDERS_ PREPARING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE FOR BREWING Use either cold filtered water or bottled spring water in the espressomachine.
PREPARING THE COFFEE BEANS Only freshly brewed espresso coffee should be used. Do not use previously prepared espresso coffee which tends to lose its flSavorvery quickly.
Use only freshly-roasted whole bean coffee. Make sure and purchase gourmet coffee beans that have just been roasted. Store your coffee properly to preserve its fine flavors. The coffee should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place. GRINDING THE COFFEE BEANS Grind the coffee just before you brew it. Grind the coffee extremely fine if you have a steam-driven espresso machine because they don’t have as much pressure to push the water through the coffee grinds as a pump-driven espresso machine which accepts a slightly coarser grind. Use a Conical Burr Grinder rather than a Blade Coffee Grinder. This will assure better consistency of coffee grind size. This also avoids overheating (e.g., re-roasting) the coffee beans as may occur with a blade grinder. A burr coffee grinder controls the grind size by the position of the burr. ESPRESSO TAMPING TECHNIQUES Use about eight grams or two tablespoons of roasted, ground coffee for a single shot of espresso, and about twice that much for a doubleshot, or doppio.
Use an even, downward twisting motion when you tamp, or compact the coffee grounds into the basket of the portafilter. Begin with just a medium amount of force when you tamp the coffee grounds. Then you can use more tamping force if the espresso streams out too fast, and you can use less force if the espresso brews tooslowly.
The surface of the coffee grounds within the portafilter should be very even to avoid weak spots where the espresso machine’s high pressure could blast through. When this happens most of the coffee grounds are under-extracted while the area around the weak spot isover-extracted.
ATTACHING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE PORTAFILTER Once the coffee grounds are finely compacted, brush the rim to make sure the portafilter has a snug fit when you secure it and lock it into the group of the espresso machine. PREHEATING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE PORTAFILTER AND DEMITASSE Preheat the portafilter of the espresso machine by running hot water through it to make sure the cold metal doesn’t lower the espresso brewing temperature. Pre-warm a demitasse and place it so that the espresso will flow directly into it during the brewing process.ESPRESSO EXTRACTION
When brewing a concentrated and full-flavored espresso shot the goal is to extract all of the fine tastes of the ground coffee beans including the essential aromatic oils, but without extracting too much bitterness from the beans. An ideal extraction time is about 22 seconds from the moment you push the brew button until the last drop of espresso streams out of the spout of the espresso machine. The overall extraction time will vary slightly based upon several variables involved in the process including the grind size, tamping pressure, brew temperature, and other factors. TROUBLESHOOTING TO ACHIEVE THE PERFECT ESPRESSO SHOT If the espresso streams out of the espresso machine too slow even when you haven’t tamped the ground coffee very hard, then the coffee grind size is probably too fine. This will cause the shot to be over-extracted and too dark. If the espresso streams out of the espresso machine too fast even when you have tamped (compacted) the ground coffee very hard, then it is likely that the coffee grind size is too large or coarse. This will cause the espresso shot to be under-extracted and weak. OBSERVING THE ESPRESSO STREAM TO DETERMINE QUALITY Watch the espresso stream out of the espresso machine. Within a few seconds it should have an appearance similar to maple syrup. Observe the espresso as it fills the demitasse during brewing to determine the quality of the espresso shot. ANALYZING THE CREMA OF THE ESPRESSO SHOT After about six to nine seconds you should see the crema begin to form on top in a thin layer of fine-celled foam. The crema should be light brown to golden brown in color. As the stream of espresso pours from the espresso machine into the demitasse watch for a white ring that may begin to form on top of thecrema.
As soon as you see any hint of this white ring forming, halt the espresso brewing. At this point all of the good oils have been extracted from the roasted, ground coffee and so continuing to brew the espresso will result in an overly acidic espresso shot with excessbitterness.
TROUBLESHOOTING FOR A BETTER CREMA ON YOUR ESPRESSO SHOT If your espresso shot has an inferior crema try to determine the cause. Some potential problems include using stale, old, or improperly stored coffee. Are the grind size and tamping pressure wrong, causing over-extraction or under-extraction? Did you preheat the portafilter as well as the demitasse? Was the coffee ground too long before brewing? One of these is likely the cause of the poor crema. ANALYZING THE BODY OF THE ESPRESSO SHOT DURING BREWING If you are using a shot glass, about fifteen seconds into the espresso brewing process, after about one ounce of espresso has poured, you should be able to notice the espresso beginning to separate within theglass.
The espresso shot’s body is the middle layer and is typically caramelly-brown in color. Examine the body of the espresso before the shot has finished brewing. Look for any signs of very dark or even black colors which will signify a burned taste being imparted to the espresso shot. To remedy this either use a coarser coffee grind size or use less pressure during the tamping of the coffee grounds. EXAMINING THE HEART OF THE ESPRESSO SHOT The heart of the espresso shot is at the very bottom and should be a rich and deep brown color. The heart contains most of the shot’s bitterness which serves to balance out the shot’s overall sweetness. When observing the heart make sure it is not too light in color, even blending with the body, which signifies that the espresso shot is too weak. This can be remedied by tamping the coffee with more pressure or by using a finer grind size. ENJOY YOUR PERFECT ESPRESSO SHOT! Once you have fine tuned your espresso shot you will be amazed at the sweet, intense flavor that is possible by following all of the propersteps.
Using top quality premium gourmet coffee, roasting and grinding it properly, and then tamping and brewing the espresso properly produces the perfect espresso shot. Now that you know how to pull the perfect espresso shot, find out what the most popular espresso-based drinksare! Enjoy!
