Deciding Beans with Barista
Summary:
In the world of coffee, a "cupper" is a professional taster who evaluates the quality and flavor of coffee beans. Company buyers and baristas both aim to select the best beans to produce exceptional beverages. Baristas receive daily feedback straight from consumers, allowing them to gauge the success of their efforts in creating the perfect cup.Do you ever wonder what a barista thinks about coffee beans and the beverages they brew? Let's explore.
Exploring Origins and Varieties:
Coffee is cultivated in about seventy countries, spanning from Africa and the Middle East to South America, the Caribbean, and Hawaii, all within 25 degrees of the equator. The diverse climates, altitudes, and regions contribute to the wide variety of coffee flavors and aromas.
Coffee plants fall into two main categories: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica, with lower caffeine content, is renowned for its superior flavor and aroma. Generally, coffee thrives at higher altitudes, making Arabica beans grown above 3,000 feet particularly desirable. However, Brazil's Arabica beans are an exception as they are cultivated at lower elevations.
Roasting Preferences:
Consumers often have strong opinions on whether to roast beans themselves. Unroasted beans are green, soft, and have a vegetal aroma. For those who prefer roasted beans, there are several options:
1. Light or Cinnamon Roast: Named for its spice-like color, this roast is acidic with high caffeine content.
2. Medium or American Roast: Popular among major vendors like Folgers, this roast is darker than the light roast but does not always meet barista standards.
3. Dark or City Roast: Found in specialty shops, this roast reduces caffeine and acidity, resulting in a sweeter, more satisfying flavor, ideal for espresso.
4. French Roast: Favored by the French for its full body and taste, these beans are dark brown with an oily surface. It's essential to differentiate these from burnt beans. They're also great for cappuccino machines.
5. Italian Roast: Known for its dark color and rich aroma, it's commonly used in special espressos, delivering a distinctive cup.
As the beans get darker, their acidity decreases, and the sweetness increases due to caramelization during roasting, which also reduces bitterness.
Choosing Your Beans:
When selecting coffee beans, consider the barista who expertly tastes coffee all day long. Baristas' understanding of flavor and aroma is unparalleled, so their insights could guide you in choosing the ideal beans for your coffee makers.
Next time you're picking out beans, think about the expertise and experience of those who prepare your coffee.
