Expertly Crafted for Optimal Flavor and Freshness Steven: As with all coffee and creating blends, it’s about getting to know the characteristics you get from different origins and processing methods. Water hardness – water hardness is a measure of the number of certain minerals (Calcium and Magnesium ions) in water. Water hardness has a large effect on the extraction of different compounds found in coffee (including acids, flavour compounds and caffeine). No! Despite the classic intense taste of espresso, on average there is more caffeine per serving in a filter coffee. Espresso contains more caffeine per ml (around 2.1mg per ml on average) than filter coffee (around 0.4mg per ml on average), but the serving is a lot smaller meaning the total caffeine in a single espresso is less than the total in a cup of brewed filter coffee.

Premium Quality Beans for Exceptional EspressoJeremy: We were also working with a lot of restaurants serving straight espresso. So, the idea behind our first espresso blend was that it should have sweetness, it should be smooth on the palate but still bold enough to come through that milk.

Home - It just reminds me of everything we do together, keeping me centred and grounded. Revelation feels a comfortable place to be. Revelation creates rippling waves of flavour that you desire from an espresso, yet however you brew, it continues to taste delicious. As Jeremy mentioned, over the years we’ve refined the profile in line with changing flavour preferences from our fans. We were roasting a dark profile but wanted it to be distinguishable from the other coffees available. We had the dark roast style, but we wanted cleaner, sweeter, rounder flavours. The amount of caffeine will be different from cup to cup. Coffee caffeine content varies due to a number of factors such as variety, roast level and grind size. Steven: Its versatility makes it very popular. It presents a range of different approaches for people, almost whichever way you brew it you get a great cup of coffee. However you brew it - espresso, cafetiere, filter - Revelation is a balanced blend which makes a wonderfully full-bodied cup. I still enjoy brewing it from a cafetiere!

First, the quality of coffees we’re working with today. The delicacy of flavour and the quality of coffee overall is a lot better, which of course greatly impacts the overall profile of Revelation. Jeremy: Revelation has slightly changed over time due to a number of reasons, I think the changes come from three different directions. Inside every coffee bean you’ll find a number of organic materials such as acids, sugars, proteins and of course, caffeine. During brewing, these materials are extracted from the coffee in varying degrees. Calculating the caffeine content for an average cup is always going to be difficult due to a large number of factors that affect the extraction: At Union, we decaffeinate our coffee using the CO2 process. Although it sounds quite scientific, it’s a natural process which only uses water and carbon dioxide. Water is steamed onto the unroasted coffee beans to open their pores and enable liquid CO2 to absorb the caffeine, this is then pumped into an “evaporator” where it’s converted into a gas again to be separated.

A comforting staple in your daily routine or a must-have before a busy day, coffee is entrenched in our daily lives. Here at Union, enjoying freshly-roasted coffee which tastes delicious is our top priority – and we also enjoy the caffeine buzz! Steven: We first developed Revelation, or TM Espresso as it was called in those days, in 1994. The first of the third wave cafes were opening up, the coffee chains we know today and the average size of the coffees sold were 12 oz. or 16 oz. large. When we set out to create our espresso blend, it was about having enough heft behind the flavour of the coffee to stand out in those sort of size drinks. Coffee dose – the higher the dose of coffee you’re using for a cup, the higher the caffeine content - naturally! It’s important to note that there’s a lot of variation in coffee dosage used across the industry, and this will affect the caffeine content in your cup of coffee. These values are taken from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Second, the way people drink their coffee has changed, which is something we had to consider over time. Where coffee drinkers once have had a 12 oz. coffee, today they’ll have something a lot smaller or with less milk, or even just filter. This has encouraged roasters to re-evaluate how “robust” or intense their espresso needs to be. Revelation was first created to be able to cut through large volumes of milk, which is no longer the case to the same extent, so we’ve tweaked and refined it because of this.Hey everyone! Recently I've been pretty curious about getting into coffee as a hobby. I've watched a few videos, basics with babish's coffee episode comes to mind immediately, but I'm still a little lost on where I can start. Third, the general style of coffee is different, people have different preferences in the profile of coffee they’re drinking. People's preferences have become more delicate, more developed and more balanced flavours. Revelation has gotten lighter in roast over the years, which has allowed us to keep the sweetness but drive more brightness and complexity of flavour. Does this differ from person to person? Yes! Caffeine metabolism is heavily affected by environmental factors (e.g. smoking, pregnancy, bodyweight, altitude) as well as genetic factors (some people can have faster or slower caffeine metabolism based on variations in their genetic makeup).
