Which Illy coffee beans?

Coffee is a popular beverage. It contains the stimulant caffeine. Coffee is made from coffee beans which are seeds of the coffee plant. The fruit that comes from the coffee plant is a drupe. The fruit has a hard kernel with a thin layer of flesh. Because the seed looks a lot like a bean, it is called a coffee bean. The coffee beans commonly sold in the Netherlands are often a mixture of two coffees. Coffee Arabica and Coffee Canephora. There are Dutch brands that give their blend the names of gold brand, silver brand and red brand. Gold brand is composed of 100% arabica beans, silver brand consists of 80% arabica beans and 20% robusta beans and red brand of 70% arabica beans and 30% robusta beans. The taste difference is created by the different beans used for the Illy blend. Arabica beans taste milder and also contain 70% less caffeine than robusta beans. Beans we use for coffee are often ground but certainly not always. It often depends on the coffee machine being used. There are some people who prefer to grind it themselves and take such a coffee machine for that.

Grinding coffee beans

Before you can brew coffee, the coffee beans are roasted and ground. Roasting the coffee beans takes place in special coffee roasting plants. Nowadays, we often use ground coffee beans or coffee pads. Our ground coffee beans from Illy are vacuum-packed so that the coffee retains its flavour. If ground coffee is exposed to the open air , the fat present will oxidise. Oxidisation causes the quality of the coffee beans to deteriorate rapidly. This is one of the reasons why coffee is kept in sealed cans at consumers' premises. The coffee is also sometimes stored in the freezer.
