The Best Coffee Beans for Espresso: Caffia’s Guide

The Best Coffee Beans for Espresso
The Best Coffee Beans for Espresso, Caffia’s Guide: Espresso is a concentrated coffee drink that is made by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee beans. It is a popular beverage around the world, and it is often used to make other coffee drinks, such as cappuccinos and lattes. There are many different types of coffee beans that can be used to make espresso. However, some beans are better suited for espresso than others. In this blog post, we will discuss the different types of coffee beans best suited for espresso, as well as some of our top picks from Caffia’s selection. Two main types of coffee beans used for espresso: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica beans are considered to be higher-quality beans, and they have a smoother, more complex flavour. Robusta has a more bitter taste; however, a blend can complement the Arabica giving a little more punch through a milky coffee.  For espresso, it is generally recommended to use Arabica beans. However, Robusta beans can be used to add a bit of body to espresso. Here are some of our top picks for coffee beans for espresso from Caffia:
