Factoid 1

Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee
or espresso is mostly the result of the
amount of coffee in relation to the
amount of water. The longer a bean is
roasted, the less caffeine it has.
"Arabica" beans have less caffeine
than "Robusta" beans. "Arabica"
beans have more flavor than
"Robusta" beans which are mostly
used in high-volume coffees and
instant coffees.
Factoid 2
Espresso is the way the bean is roast-
ed, not the bean itself. You can use
many different roasts to produce
espresso coffee. You can also use the
espresso roasted coffee to make a
larger cup of coffee. In the US,
espresso roasting results in darker,
oily beans. In Europe, espresso
roasts are medium brown with no oils
showing on the outside of the beans.
If you use dark, oily beans SEE
CHAPTER 7.2a for special handling.
