Specialty Espresso

Specialty coffees and espressos are among the highest quality raw coffee beans. On a scale of 1 to 100, the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) uses screening, cupping, and specific guidelines to determine that specialty coffee must score at least 80 points. This is what we call specialty coffee, and this is where our work begins. Even before the raw coffee reaches our warehouse, it contains fewer than 5 defects per 300 g. Raw coffee defects include small scratches, broken, poor-quality, or damaged beans. We then test whether the raw coffees meet the important criteria required by our gentle drum roasting process. We look for diverse aromas, soft acidity, balanced body, sweetness, and simply that certain something. It is important to us to communicate transparently where we source our specialty coffees and to know the respective coffee farmers personally. These opportunities often arise here in Germany, but social media also gives us the chance to be directly involved in the cultivation, harvesting, drying processes, and imports.  

Our Roasting Process

The drum roasting process was invented back in the 16th century and still makes our work a true craft today. The gentle heating gives the raw coffee beans enough time to develop their over 800 aromas. Rotating the drum ensures an even roast and a distinctive low-acidity flavor. At Simon & Bearns, we make sure to roast our espressos lighter in principle, as this preserves more of their original and natural aroma. This also allows us to ensure that our espressos do not become oily and thus distort the flavor.

Our Espresso Varieties 

The selection of our raw coffees already makes our espressos truly special. We offer you espresso from traceable origins and as transparent supply chains as possible, while naturally ensuring the highest quality! We have put together our espresso varieties so that there is something for every espresso lover. For a classic, bold espresso for your morning cappuccino, our Espresso India Blend is the best choice. As a fruity single espresso, we offer our Espresso Stellwerk 5 - Blend. The coffee beans from Rwanda give this espresso a very special flavor note. Our Espresso from Brazil (São Silvestre) also has fruity aromas due to its natural processing and is therefore suitable as a single espresso. With our Espresso Bahnstadt Blend we have created a classic espresso blend. 20% Robusta ensures that you can still taste a bold coffee flavor even in a cappuccino.

Preparing Our Espressos

Like every espresso, the method of preparation is a matter of personal taste. Each method has its own characteristics, and the best way to find out what you like is to try them all. In cafes, espresso is primarily prepared using a portafilter. Here, the ground espresso is pressed through a filter with high pressure and hot water, creating a special crema. Of course, portafilter machines are also available for home use. If you have questions about whether this is right for you, we are happy to advise you with our knowledge of various machines.
A traditional method of preparing espresso is the stovetop espresso maker. Here, the espresso is also created through pressure, but the hot water is pressed from below through the ground espresso and two different filters. A unique crema forms under the characteristic bubbling of the stovetop espresso maker. An incomparable start to the day. The fastest way to make your espresso is at the touch of a button with a fully automatic machine. The machine usually handles all the steps: the whole beans are ground, the espresso powder is pressed, and hot water is again forced through it under high pressure. Specially built-in "crema valves" create a fine crema, and your espresso is ready.
If you are not sure which method of preparation is right for you, ask us via the contact form or visit one of our coffee shops in the Rhein-Neckar area in Baden-Württemberg. We are happy to help you with our extensive expertise.
