An Espresso bean is a seed, the seed of the Coffee plant. There’s a common misconception that Espresso beans and Coffee beans are different, they are not, there’s no difference in the beans, the difference is in the brewing or extraction process. Barista’s and Espresso enthusiasts will, however, have their preferences when it comes to the Coffee beans they use for making Espresso.
The Coffee bean has been exported worldwide for over 500 years and is grown in the ‘Bean Belt’ countries around the equator. Most of the worlds Coffee beans come from Brazil, Columbia, Ethiopia, Indonesia and Vietnam.
