Choosing The Right Coffee

Why Roast Single Origin Specifically for Espresso?

Brewing espresso involves forcing pressurised water through a compacted puck of finely ground coffee in a matter of seconds. Because this extraction process is so intense and fast, the coffee beans need to be highly soluble. To achieve this, our single origin espresso beans undergo a slightly longer roast development time compared to our filter coffees. This extra time in the roaster increases the caramelisation of the natural sugars and softens the sharp acidity, resulting in a highly balanced shot that tastes great on its own and cuts through milk perfectly.

Dialling In Your Espresso Variables

To get the most out of these single origins, you need to lock in your brewing physics. Espresso relies on a fine grind setting (targeting roughly 200 to 300 microns) to create enough resistance against the standard 9 Bars of atmospheric pressure produced by your machine.

For the most balanced extraction, start with these empirical baseline variables:

Dose: 18g of finely ground coffee.
Yield: 40g of liquid espresso (a 1:2.2 brew ratio). Because every coffee varies slightly, don't stress if this needs tweaking, we include a handy recipe card with every bag so you know exactly how to brew it!
Time: 27 to 32 seconds total extraction time.
Temperature: Start your boiler at a sweet spot of 93°C. Once you've pulled your first shot, have a taste and play around with the temp to find what works best for your setup!

Single Origin Espresso vs House Coffee Blends

Most home baristas start their espresso journey with a reliable house blend, and for good reason. Coffee blends are designed to be incredibly consistent, easy to dial in, and deliver those classic, comforting chocolate and caramel notes that make a daily flat white so tasty. But when you are ready to mix up your morning ritual, jumping into single origin espresso is an epic next step.

Instead of combining beans from different farms to create a uniform profile, a single origin highlights the unique terroir of one specific lot. This means your espresso shot will taste completely different depending on where it was grown and how it was processed. You might pull a shot that tastes like vibrant dark cherry and fudge brownie one week, and crisp white peach and jasmine the next.

While single origins can sometimes require a little extra tweaking to find that perfect extraction sweet spot, the payoff is huge. It is all about having fun, learning your machine, and experiencing exactly what those good people at the farm worked so hard to produce.

Single Origin Espresso Coffee - Roasted for Espresso FAQ

What is the difference between a single origin espresso roast and a filter roast? What is the difference between a single origin espresso roast and a filter roast?

Espresso roasts are developed slightly longer in the roaster. This extra development increases the bean's solubility for a fast, 9-bar pressurised extraction and balances the natural acidity. Filter roasts are dropped out of the roaster earlier to preserve delicate florals, which can often taste too sour or sharp if pulled through an espresso machine.

Can I use single origin espresso beans for milk coffees like a flat white? Can I use single origin espresso beans for milk coffees like a flat white?

Absolutely. Because we roast these single origins to their exact sweet spot, the natural caramel, chocolate, and deep fruit notes cut through the milk perfectly. This gives you a highly structured, sweet milk coffee without losing the unique characteristics of the farm it came from.

How long should I let my espresso roast coffee rest? How long should I let my espresso roast coffee rest?

For optimal flavour and extraction stability, we recommend resting your espresso beans for 7 to 14 days after the roast date. This degassing period allows excess carbon dioxide to escape, preventing the espresso shot from bubbling excessively and ensuring a more even water flow through the puck.
