What are hybrid coffees?
Traditionally, coffee beans have been separated into two distinct varieties. Arabica, which is generally thought to be the superior tasting bean, and Robusta, which is slightly more bitter tasting, but much more resilient (hence robust-a). As with any modern commercial crop however, things these days aren’t quite so simple. Coffee producers across the world have been experimenting with cross-breeding different coffee varieties to try to create coffee beans that taste incredible, and are also hardy enough to survive in difficult conditions.
The hottest cold drink around – chilled coffee beverages have evolved into one of the most enduring trends of recent years. Coffee machine manufacturer WMF is catering to this growing demand with the innovative Chilled Coffee system. An integrated counterflow cooler reduces the dispensing temperature of a freshly brewed coffee to below 50 degrees. Instead of having to brew or cool the coffee for hours on end, the Chilled Coffee technology delivers a coffee product within seconds which can then go on to be prepared further straight away. Refreshing classics such as iced coffee and caffè freddo as well as the latest on-trend beverages involving syrup and the like can be prepared faster and above all much more easily.
