How to make great coffee this winter.

9/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Coffee has changed my mornings into a romantic process for me. It all starts when I open up a bag of Bay Beans fresh roasted coffee beans and just gets better as I load the beans into the grinder, hearing each bean crisply fall into the bean hopper. Grinding the coffee beans releases an immediate aroma, and hint into the flavours I will soon be enjoying. 

As I watch the coffee extraction and steam my milk, I can already taste the creamy texture in my mouth. Flat white is one of my favorite coffees in the morning, it gives me time to savour the experience and enjoy my coffee time - a special part of my day that I look forward to. 

When I sit down to enjoy my coffee, I seem to forget my surroundings, everything falls silent as I draw my first sip.  yum!

The Advocate newspaper ran a story in May 2010 about Bay Beans Coffee, a local business banking on a fresh approach. 

I'm very proud to announce I have this week picked up a coveted award at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show 2014 and will have Bay Beans Coffee beans on display at this years Sydney Royal Easter Show. A massive accomplishment for me in comercialising a small business that started as a passion.

"The premium products from the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show will be showcased at the Sydney Royal Easter Show from 10th - 23rd April 2014 at Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park. These products will be located in the Woolworths Fresh Food Dome, the centerpiece of the Show site".

I'm particularly proud of the result, being a small independent business and having entered only one coffee variety in competition to hundreds of other coffee roasting houses, some of who entered multiple coffees.  Bay Beans was awarded a Bronze Medal for Espresso Master variety, a coffee that is ideally suited to flat white and cappuccino and will impress as an espresso shot for the devoted coffee lover.  

Espresso Master is a creation of Bay Beans using predominately 100% Arabica coffee beans from South America and roasted on a 60 kilo Dietrich coffee roaster programmed to accurately follow specific roasting profiles specified by James - a leap ahead of the original coffee roaster James custom built from various parts mostly imported from the USA  that had a maximum roast size of 4 kilos. 

James continues to supply his fresh roasted and now award winning coffee beans online to cafes, offices and homes all over Australia at www.baybeans.com.au along side his other love as Daddy Day Care to his 3 year old son and 5 year old daughter.

how can I get more crema from my coffee beans?

13/7/2013

Crema on top of your coffee is produced when you use fresh roasted coffee beans with correct espresso extraction technique. Crema is the golden foam that sits onto of the dark espresso base. A technique to produce maximum crema on your coffee is to pre-heat your coffee machine for around 30 minutes, then dose your coffee into your coffee machines portafilter basket and tamp with consistent and even pressure. A good trick is to tap the coffee basket on the bench half way through your coffee dosing to settle the grinds prior to tamping. 

Best results will come from using a coffee bean specifically blended to create maximum crema in your coffee, such as my Super Crema coffee using a base of coffee beans from the Monsoon Malabar.

Awesome new coffee bag design for Bay Beans coffee customers and cafes

3/7/2013

0 Comments

 
The original Bay Beans logo and coffee bag designs were my own creation. With Bay Beans become more and more popular in cafes and businesses around Australia, it was time to freshen up the image and create a classy and unique full printed coffee bag. I think we've done it! If you run a cafe, restaurant or coffee van and want to be serving quality coffee packaged in professional packaging, buy your coffee online now or get in touch to discuss your requirements.  

The Graphic Designer I partnered with to develop a new coffee bag design is a genius.. absolute GENIUS! (if you need a superstar designer for your own project, let me know and I will send you hook you up).

Coffee skills and techniques: Pressurised baskets

4/7/2012

1 Comment

 
I love questions from customers about coffee, and here is one that I would like to share with you from Steve.

Steve asked the question about the impact of a pressurised coffee basket in his new coffee machine, and if he should change it to a after-market non-pressurised basket, improve his coffee.

Here is my reply.

Hi Steve.

Thanks for your email.

You have nailed it - the point that is letting you down is the pressurised basket. Let me first explain why some coffee machine manufacturers use presurised baskets in the first place, and the difference between non-pressurised coffee baskets.

A pressurised basket is different to a non pressurised basket by having only one single hole in the bottom of the basket, vs many holes in a normal basket. The idea is to force the coffee through the one tiny hole, and in the process, creating a fake crema. Thats perfect for the machine manufacturer, becasue even with stale supermarket beans, they can say "look how good the crema is from our machine", but it will lack taste - its just micro-foamed coffee.

Using fresh roasted beans will improve the flavour of your coffee, but the basket being pressurised means that you dont get any good feedback on what is really happening with your coffee extraction.

Breville make non pressurised baskets for their Cafe Roma boiler machine - the machine retails for about $80, but the spare bpart can be ordered seerately for under $10. if it fits your machine, thats what I reccomend as a solution.

When you pay more for a machine, really all you are getting other than facy looks, is a more stable and consistent tempreture and pressure, and better heatup times, which while important, is not absolutely necessary. You will get a much better benefit by changing your basket to a non pressurised basket, and using a coffee tamp. then you can experiment with technique to perfect your coffee.

your aiming for 30ml of coffee in the cup, over 25seconds. If you get more than 30ml, your grind is too coarse, or your tamp too light. I like to try and keep as many things consistent, ie;

30 ml of coffee (per shot)
7grams of coffee (per shot)
25 seconds extraction
15kg of tamp pressure (try using bathroom scales to get an idea of what 15kg of pressure feels like.
I also like to always use a double basket, per coffee extraction, into one cup (so 14g of coffee and 60ml).

Let me know how you get on.
