    Which coffee beans contain less caffeine and are of higher quality?

    • Robusta

    • Espresso

    • Arabica

    • Columbian

    Correct Answer
    A. Arabica
    Explanation
    Arabica coffee beans contain less caffeine compared to Robusta beans and are often considered to be of higher quality. Arabica beans have a smoother and more delicate flavor profile, with notes of fruit, chocolate, and caramel. They are also generally more expensive and are preferred by specialty coffee shops and connoisseurs. Robusta beans, on the other hand, have a stronger and more bitter taste, with higher caffeine content. Therefore, Arabica is the correct answer as it meets both criteria of having less caffeine and being of higher quality.

    What is the ideal time range for an espresso shot to be brewed in?

    • 7-12 Seconds

    • 18-23 Seconds

    • 25-30 Seconds

    • 11-16 Seconds

    Correct Answer
    A. 18-23 Seconds
    Explanation
    The ideal time range for an espresso shot to be brewed in is 18-23 seconds. This range allows for the extraction of the optimal flavors and aromas from the coffee grounds, resulting in a well-balanced and flavorful espresso shot. If the brewing time is too short, the shot may be under-extracted and taste weak or sour. On the other hand, if the brewing time is too long, the shot may be over-extracted and taste bitter or burnt. Therefore, the 18-23 second range is considered the ideal time for brewing an espresso shot.
