How does roasting affect the taste of coffee beans?
1. Dark
Dark roasted coffee is usually more suitable for espresso machines, mocha coffee makers, Turkish ibrik preparation method, etc. You can distinguish strong roast coffee by the fact that an oily layer forms on the surface of the beans. Such coffee beans are characterized by a rich chocolate bitterness, so they are often used for Italian or French-style coffee blends. Unfortunately, low-quality dark roasting of coffee beans is quite widespread. The reasons can range from lack of skills and knowledge to deliberately masking signs of poor quality. Over-roasted beans give off a pungent smell, and you can easily notice charcoal notes and unpleasant bitterness in their taste.
We rarely do dark roasts, but for those looking for a strong cup, we have prepared a blend of Furious Lama Arabica and Robusta coffee beans . We also invite you to try Brazilian Cerrado beans , roasted in the Italian way.
2. Average
Medium roast coffee has less acidity and often has a sweeter aftertaste, making it easier to combine with milk. Also, coffee roasted in this way is more suitable for machines. It is for this reason that this level of roasting is often applied to blends of coffee beans and specialty coffees intended for espresso machines.
If you are interested in coffee with calmer aftertastes, suitable for the machine, mocha coffee maker or just roasting in a cup, come here and choose your coffee beans.
3. Bright
It is a light roast that helps bring out the unique aftertastes of the coffee, determined by natural and climatic conditions. Therefore, it is precisely in the taste of light roasted coffee that we feel more fruitiness. Lighter-roasted coffee beans will reveal themselves better when filtered, show more and more diverse aftertastes, and will not dry out. You can find the most suitable coffees for the filter here.
4. Universal roasting
Interestingly, sometimes one roasting recipe can be adapted to coffee, which will be suitable for all preparation methods. In English it is called "omniroast". It is usually a medium roast, where the right balance of fruitiness and strength is found in the coffee flavor. Even a few of our coffees can be classified in this category because they are perfect for both the machine and the filter. We invite you to try Brazil Minas and Burundi Yandaro .
How did coffee become the most popular drink in the world?
The legend of the origin of Ethiopian coffee
Cultivated around the world, the heritage of coffee goes back centuries to the ancient coffee forests of the Ethiopian plateau. Legend has it that it was in Ethiopia that shepherd Kaldi first thought of trying coffee. It is said that Kaldi noticed that after eating the berries of a certain tree, his goats became so energetic that they did not sleep even at night. The shepherd reported his findings to the abbot of the local monastery, who made a drink from the berries and found that it helped him stay awake during the long hours of evening prayer. The abbot shared his discovery with the other monks of the monastery, and word of the energizing berries began to spread rapidly. As word moved east and coffee reached the Arabian Peninsula, it began its journey around the world.

Arabian Peninsula
Commercial coffee cultivation and trade began in the Arabian Peninsula. By the 15th century, coffee was cultivated in the Arabian region of Yemen, and by the 16th century it was known in Persia, Egypt, Syria and Turkey. Coffee was not only enjoyed at home, but also in the many public coffeehouses called qahveh khaneh that began to appear in the cities of the Middle East. The popularity of cafes was unparalleled and people visited them for a variety of social activities. People not only drank coffee and socialized, but also listened to music, watched performers, played chess and simply shared news. Coffeehouses quickly became such an important center for the exchange of information that they were often called "Schools of the Wise."
With thousands of pilgrims visiting the holy city of Mecca from all over the world every year, word of this "Arabian wine" began to spread rapidly.

The emergence of coffee in Europe
That's how European travelers brought back stories about an unusual dark drink. By the 17th century, coffee had become popular throughout the continent. However, some people reacted to this new drink with suspicion or fear, calling it "the bitter invention of Satan". Local clergy condemned coffee when it came to Venice in 1615. The controversy was so great that Pope Clement VIII was asked to intervene. Before making up his mind, he decided to taste the drink himself, which he liked so much that he gave the coffee the Pope's approval.
Despite the controversy, coffeehouses quickly became centers of social activity and interaction in the major cities of England, Austria, France, Germany, and Holland. In England, "penny universities" appeared, so called because for just a penny you could buy a cup of coffee and engage in an engaging conversation. By the mid-17th century, there were more than 300 coffeehouses in London, many of which attracted like-minded people including merchants, shippers, brokers and artists.
Interestingly, coffee began to replace the usual breakfast drinks of the time - beer and wine. Those who drank coffee instead of alcohol started the day refreshed and energetic, and not surprisingly, the quality of their work improved significantly.

The world's most unique coffee beans - what are they?
1. Extra high grade quality coffee beans
The varieties of coffee beans are evaluated by certified coffee taste experts. Those that are rated 90+ points in the 100-point system are considered extremely special, their demand jumps sharply, and the supply cannot increase significantly due to natural geographical, climatic and human limitations. A few examples: Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, Panamanian Geisha coffee. The price of such an exclusive coffee bean can reach several thousand euros per kilogram, and it is sold only at auctions. Read more about how coffee becomes specialty here.
2. Kopi Luwak coffee
At every coffee tasting we do, we get at least one question about Kopi Luwak coffee. This type of coffee originates from Indonesia and is known for its unique origin. Kopi Luwak coffee beans are collected from the excrement of the musango palm, then washed and processed using traditional coffee processing methods. Such coffee processing gives the drink a unique spice - the aroma of Kopi Luwak coffee is characterized by earthy, jungle, nutty aftertastes.
Due to the naturally limited possibilities to grow such coffee, the price of the coffee bean is extremely high. Because of this, there are a lot of dishonest and unethical suppliers in this business. Some of them raise these animals in extremely poor conditions in cages, they do not provide adequate nutrition. The other part is selling coffee with a false label and thus taking an extremely high reward for regular coffee.
It is because of these ethical issues that we distance ourselves from Kopi Luwak coffee. We recommend that you take the decision to purchase it very responsibly.
