Interesting Facts about Espresso
• Espresso beans are roasted longer, so espresso is more
suitable for people with sensitive stomachs than regular
coffee.

different roasting process. It is usually drunk without
milk. Depending on taste, it can be drunk sweetened or
unsweetened.

Espresso beans are either blends (mixtures of different
varieties from different regions for a consistent taste)
or single variety beans from one growing region (single
origin).
• In blends, a proportion of Robusta (20 to 30 %) is often
added to the Arabica beans. With a high proportion
