Coffee FAQs & Answers

What is coffee?

Coffee is a widely consumed beverage made from roasted coffee beans, which are the seeds of the coffee cherry. With its rich flavours, enticing aroma, and stimulating caffeine content, coffee has become an essential part of cultures around the world, enjoyed in countless ways, from strong espressos to creamy lattes.

Where does coffee come from?

Coffee originates from Ethiopia, where it was first discovered in the highlands. Today, it is cultivated in tropical regions across South America, Africa, Asia, and Central America, within the Coffee Belt—a zone between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The coffee-growing climate, altitude, and soil conditions in these regions contribute to the unique characteristics of different coffees.

What are the different types of coffee beans?

There are four main varieties of coffee beans, each offering unique flavours:
Arabica – The most popular variety, known for its smooth, complex taste and balanced acidity.
✔ Robusta – Strong and bold, with higher caffeine content and a slightly bitter profile.
✔ Liberica – A rarer type of bean, offering fruity, smoky flavours with a distinctive aroma.
✔ Excelsa – Often used in blends to add tartness and depth to coffee.
What is the difference between light, medium, and dark roast coffee?
✔ Light roast – Retains the bean’s original flavours, offering bright acidity and fruity, floral notes.
✔ Medium roast – More balanced, with sweet caramel and nutty undertones.
Dark roast – Bold and full-bodied, with smoky, chocolatey flavours and low acidity.

How much caffeine is in coffee?

Caffeine levels vary based on brewing method and bean type:

✔ Espresso (30ml) – ~63mg caffeine.
✔ Drip coffee (250ml) – ~95mg caffeine.
✔ French Press (250ml) – ~80mg caffeine.
Decaf coffee – ~2–5mg caffeine.

What is the best way to brew coffee?

Espresso coffee beans – A concentrated shot brewed under high pressure, producing an intense, rich flavour.
✔ French Press coffee – Full-bodied coffee with deep flavours and natural oils extracted from coarsely ground beans.
✔ Pour-over coffee (V60 coffee, Chemex) – A precision brewing method that highlights delicate, nuanced flavour notes.
✔ Drip coffee – Convenient and smooth, with a well-balanced profile.
✔ Cold Brew – Brewed over an extended period, resulting in a smooth, naturally sweet, low-acid coffee.

How should coffee beans be stored for maximum freshness?

✔ Use an airtight container – Prevents oxidation and moisture exposure.
✔ Keep in a cool, dark place – Direct sunlight and heat degrade the flavours.
✔ Avoid refrigeration – Humidity can affect the taste and freshness.

Is coffee beneficial to health?

Coffee is rich in antioxidants and has been linked to benefits such as improved brain function, metabolism boost, and a reduced risk of certain diseases. However, excessive caffeine intake may cause jitters, insomnia, or digestive discomfort, so moderation is recommended.

What is single-origin coffee?

Single-origin coffee is sourced from one specific farm or region, offering a unique taste profile that reflects its growing conditions, climate, and soil. It is often prized for its distinctive flavours, transparency in sourcing, and high quality.

What is the difference between coffee blends and single-origin coffee?

Single-origin coffee – Offers unique regional characteristics, often seasonal.
✔ Blends – Created by mixing beans from different origins to achieve balanced, consistent flavours.

What are the best coffee beans for espresso?

✔ Brazilian coffee & Colombian coffee (Arabica coffee) – Smooth and chocolatey, with nutty undertones.
✔ Robusta-heavy blends – Rich crema and intense flavour.
Dark roast espresso beans – Bold, smoky, and full-bodied.

What is speciality coffee?

Speciality coffee beans are high-grade coffee that scores above 80 points on the quality scale, typically sourced from farms that prioritise sustainability, ethical sourcing, and superior cultivation methods.

Where can I buy high-quality coffee beans?

Premium coffee beans are available from independent coffee shops, specialty roasters, and online retailers like us. Look for freshly roasted beans with transparent sourcing details, ensuring the highest quality and best flavour.

Coffee is an art, a culture, and a science, providing endless possibilities to explore and enjoy.

SCA cup scoring is a standardised system developed by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) to evaluate the quality of coffee. It is used by coffee professionals, including Q Graders, to assess various attributes of coffee beans and determine their overall score on a 100-point scale.

How Does SCA Cup Scoring Work?

Coffee is evaluated based on several key attributes, each scored individually:
✔ Fragrance/Aroma – The intensity and complexity of the coffee’s scent.
✔ Flavour – The overall taste profile, including sweetness, acidity, and balance.
✔ Aftertaste – The lingering flavours after swallowing.
✔ Acidity – The brightness and liveliness of the coffee.
✔ Body – The texture and weight of the coffee on the palate.
✔ Uniformity – Consistency across multiple cups.
✔ Balance – How well the different attributes harmonise.
✔ Sweetness – The presence of natural sugars in the coffee.
✔ Clean Cup – The absence of defects or off-flavours.
✔ Overall Score – A final subjective rating based on the cup’s quality.

What Do SCA Scores Mean?

✔ 90–100 – Exceptional coffee with rare complexity and balance.
✔ 85–89.99 – Outstanding specialty-grade coffee.
✔ 80–84.99 – Very good specialty coffee.
✔ Below 80 – Not considered specialty-grade.

A coffee scoring 80 or above is classified as specialty coffee, meaning it meets high-quality standards and is sought after by specialty roasters and cafes.
