Caffia coffee beans go through an intricate process that starts with the harvesting and picking of the coffee cherries and ends with the roasting of the beans.
Coffee roasters draw out 800-1,000 different aroma compounds when roasting coffee espresso beans. The longer a coffee bean is roasted, the more caffeine is pulled out and the less acidic the taste becomes. Through roast profiling, a coffee roaster carefully manipulates compounds to create the unique flavour and distinctive notes that you enjoy in your daily cup.
Caffia coffee beans boast the full spectrum of roast levels to cover every taste preference and ensure customers can always find a roast they love. Many coffee connoisseurs believe that the best way to truly enjoy a distinctive roast style is through a neat espresso or black coffee. Our range of different coffee beans includes versatile options that can be enjoyed with or without milk. Whether you choose a unique signature single-origin or espresso blend, our freshly roasted beans always provide a luxurious coffee experience.
Wondering what roast level is ideal for the best-tasting espresso shot? Perhaps you're after the perfect cappuccino instead. Either way, our selection of retail and bulk coffee beans in the UK will help you make the perfect cup.
Here are the flavour profiles for each roast style, so you can decide on the best espresso beans for your needs:
The bean's origin flavours are more distinctive in light roasts because the aromas that are created during the roasting process are less notable. The longer beans roast, the more time there is for the chemical changes that create these flavour profiles to develop.
Fruity citrus or lemon flavours are often noted when drinking coffee from a light roast. Some coffee drinkers love this characteristic and gravitate toward a light roast level for every cup.
Also known as a 'breakfast' roast, medium roast coffee is considered a well-balanced roast which results in a slightly acidic coffee, with good body and rich caramelisation that is pleasing to the palates of most coffee lovers.
A barista will usually use medium roasted beans to create a subtle, balanced coffee base that is perfect for milk drinks and coffees such as lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites.
In dark roasts, you typically won't taste the origin flavours of the bean. Rather, your coffee experience will be based on how that type of espresso bean responded to the unique roasting style. Dark roasted beans have a buttery finish and are used to create bold, strong flavours.
This roasting level allows the sugars in the bean to caramelise for longer, creating sweeter chocolatey or nutty notes. With a full, richer taste profile, dark roast espressos are great for drinks like an Americano and are popular in speciality coffee shops.
We can't talk about the very dark roast without bringing up Italian coffee. Italians are well known for loving espresso brewed from dark coffee beans that offer a more robust taste. Very dark roast coffee beans are often the preferred choice for this style of coffee.
This is typically the darkest coffee roast with a very dark, oily appearance. This roast produces smokey, charred flavours for a more refined palate.

From a coffee shop to the office, we aim to help you make a delicious cup every time. Here are some common questions about our coffees and machines to help inform your coffee bean or ground coffee buying process.
The main difference between machines, from a bean to cup machine to a traditional espresso machine, lies in the brewing methods they use to draw coffee from the beans.
Our espresso machine beans are sourced sustainably and are of the highest quality. When using our exceptional coffee beans and a good brewing method from a trained barista, you can expect your traditional machine to produce a perfectly pulled espresso shot with a bold flavour.
While espresso beans are designed to retain their flavour under the pressurised hot water of an espresso machine's brew method, you can also use espresso beans for other types of machines.
It's important that your coffee machine and coffee beans work well together to create the perfect cup. Make sure to select the right setting on your coffee machine for the coffee beans of your choice.
Additionally, if you don't purchase pre-ground coffee, always use a good quality coffee grinder to grind the coffee beans down to the correct grind size for your machine. For instance, the finely ground coffee that is perfect for espresso machines wouldn't be ideal for your bean-to-cup machine.
Ideally, you want to get the right coffee beans for your machine. Doing so will ensure you can extract the best flavour from the beans and brew a delicious cup every time. As experienced suppliers of wholesale coffee beans in the UK, we can advise you on the best espresso coffee beans for your machine.
The answer to this question lies in individual preference. That being said, for the commercial coffee industry, most coffee roasters strive for an espresso blend with mostly Arabica coffee. Besides being suitable for all barista skill levels, Arabica is a full-bodied blend that creates a cup of coffee pleasant to most palates.
Looking for a cheaper option? A bag of single-origin Robusta contains more caffeine, is less sweet, has less acidity, and creates a dreamy rim of crema. These characteristics make it suitable for espressos, although its flavour can be described as slightly more raw than your typical espresso drink.
Overall, specialised espresso blends are generally best for espresso shots in a commercial setting. At Caffia, we are established espresso coffee suppliers and boast some of the best coffee beans for espresso machines.
Like with all food, the fresher your beans, the better the resulting shot of espresso — and the thicker the crema!
Store your unused espresso beans in an airtight container to ensure fresh coffee every time. Many traditional espresso machines have bean hoppers with silicone lids. You can keep espresso beans in the hopper, but since it is not completely airtight, it is best to only store a moderate amount at a time.
If you've purchased bulk coffee beans in the UK for commercial use, it may be a good idea to freeze your beans in an airtight container to extend their shelf life by a few months while still retaining freshness.
In our range of espresso coffee beans in the UK, all the bags of coffee beans (1kg) are sealed in airtight packaging and include aroma valves. These valves help to maximise bean freshness, ensuring you produce high-quality coffees for as long as your bag of beans lasts.
Pro tip: Remember to check your coffee bags' roast date. Wait at least 1-4 days after roasting to let the coffee machine beans ‘rest' before serving them to customers. Between 5-10 days, espressos are expected to reach their peak flavour.
