Why is Sumatran coffee so special

What makes Sumatran coffee special?  The soils, the sun,  the rain.  Everything makes it different.  The very unique and the very special thing about Sumatra is the taste.   Very low acidity and having a nice earthy flavor, a nice chocolaty flavor in the coffee.

And its a rarity in the world of coffee. Its very unusual that beans are hulled wet.  Only in Sumatra and Sulawesi that this takes places. And its very difficult.

Once the parchment skins off, the moisture of the green bean is about 35 percent. We want to bring it down to slightly below 12 percent, around 11.8, 11.7. And that takes three full days of sunshine. It's continually being raked.

Theyve tried implementing the same process in other parts of the world with very similar varieties, and the quality has not been the same. With the coffees that were buying, its the Sumatran process that you find in this part of the world  that makes Sumatran coffee special. Its the perfect storm to make that kind of coffee..

What is the difference of Espresso & Drip Coffee [Puzzle Caffe]

What is the difference of Espresso & drip
coffee? For most people who are lovers of caffeine,
the line between drip style coffee and espresso can be a bit fuzzy. What makes them different?
The main difference between espresso and drip coffee is the preparation method used.
In general, espresso is prepared using a much finer grind than what would be used to prepare
drip coffee. Espresso requires an espresso machine which supports the espresso preparation
process. The grinds are tamped so they are very compact.

Nearly boiling water runs through
the grinds for around 15-20 seconds to pull an espresso shot. Espresso is generally thicker
than coffee brewed by other methods, has a higher concentration of suspended and dissolved
solids, and has crema on top, the lovely creamy foam on top of every good espresso.
Drip coffee, on the other hand, is a bit easier and more common to understand. Drip brewing,
filtered coffee, or pour-over is a method which involves pouring water over roasted,
medium ground coffee beans contained in a filter to get the coffee. Whether using a
simple pour-over set, a French press or an electrical coffeemaker, the essence of drip
coffee process remains the same.

Regards to caffeine, Espresso has more caffeine
per unit volume than drip coffee, but because the usual serving size is much smaller, the
total caffeine content is less than a mug of standard brewed coffee, contrary to a common
belief. Both the drip coffee and espresso can be consumed
on their own, but they are also the base for various other coffee beverages. Specifically
the espresso is used for many modern favorites like caffe latte, cappuccino or caffe Americano. Did this video help you understand the difference
