La Marzocco’s Accademia del Caffè Espresso has launched the Coffee Facts series, which explores coffee from crop to cup and features sixteen topics organized into four chapters. The series examines origin influences such as climate, soil, altitude and species, with explicit attention to Arabica and Canephora (commonly known as Robusta). This framing positions each cup as the result of a chain of decisions and conditions.
Coffee Facts traces processing, roasting and brewing methods and explains how those stages shape sensory outcomes. Chapters cover cultivation and harvesting, processing methods that influence flavor, roasting choices and extraction techniques. The format is educational and technical, written for both industry professionals and beginners who want a fuller picture of production and preparation.
Why it matters: the series turns often-hidden production details into practical knowledge that can improve buying and brewing choices. For consumers and baristas alike, Coffee Facts provides a structured way to understand taste drivers and to make more informed decisions about coffee.
