Generally speaking, the selection criteria for American Italian and latte coffee beans in Moka pots are medium-dark roasting, rich in fat, mellow and low in acid. Only in this way can they be well integrated with milk. The options are Italian blended beans or SOE coffee beans from a single production area. So, based on the purchasing habits of many consumers, today I will list a coffee bean purchase list for your reference.
The following are recommendations for single-origin Italian SOE coffee beans.
1. Front Street PWN Indonesian Gold Mandheling (the first choice among ancient coffee lovers, the first choice for low acidity and mellow flavor)
Sumatran coffee beans are on the decline in the specialty coffee trend, but Mandheling and Blue Mountain are still synonymous with mellow style coffee. Although Golden Mandheling is very well-known, Front Street PWN Indonesian Gold Mandheling is the first brand to put PWN sacks and certificates in Tmall product introductions. When buying Jamaica Blue Mountain and Front Street PWN Indonesian Gold Mandheling, you don’t have to ask whether they are authentic or not. You can directly look at the first big picture of the product and the details in the introduction - green bean packaging (wooden barrels from Blue Mountain, sacks from PWN Gold Mandheling). The certificates that come with the product will make it easy for everyone to understand.
Front Street PWN Indonesian Golden Mandheling Flavor: dark roasted, low acid, mellow herbal, dark chocolate, earthy
2. Front Street Brazilian Queen’s Manor SOE (Brazilian coffee beans are ranked first in the world, and Brazilian Queen’s Manor is the “preferred choice of heavy drinkers”, especially suitable for Moka pots)
Flavor: Low acid balance, nutty/cocoa, caramel sweet
Performance: Whether it is hand brewing, Italian style, or Moka pot oil finger performance is very good, the king of cost performance, the baseline of traditional classic coffee ration flavor.
3. Front Street 2013 Yunnan Sunshine Iron Pickup SOE
Flavor: clean citrus, caramel, medium acidity, medium-dark roast brings some nutty, chocolate, brown sugar aroma and slight fruit acidity
Front Street has been around for as long as 2013. The starting point of Front Street Coffee includes growing Typica in Yunnan. Typica was not a key variety in Yunnan production areas before, and it is not currently. However, Typica is an important part of specialty coffee that emphasizes Arabica. It can be said to be an indispensable option among coffee growers and hand-brew enthusiasts.
4. Qian Street Ethiopian Oiran SOE (Sunshine, Internet celebrity C position)
Flavors: Strawberry, Jackfruit, Tropical Fruit Bomb
Since Oiran appeared on the market in 2017, it has been a hot item in major coffee markets/e-commerce platforms for many years. It can also be regarded as the time-tested "most popular single-origin coffee of each year". Front Street Ethiopian Oiran has price optimization in Tmall Oiran's best-selling ranking, so it has been the top seller of Front Street coffee for many years. If you like Ethiopia and Yirgacheffe Oiran, then "Front Street Ethiopian Oiran" is naturally the most recommended. At the same time, Qian Street Ethiopian Oiran SOE can also be used as a standing SOE produced by boutiques. Because of the popularity of Ethiopian + Oiran, it is easy to leave the impression that it is "novice-friendly and does not step on the wrong side".
After talking about the commonly used single-origin Italian SOE coffee beans, let’s summarize some top-selling recommendations for household and commercial automatic/semi-automatic Italian blending and Moka pot coffee beans.
1. Front Street classic blend
The classic blend of Front Street is espresso coffee beans and the top choice for Moka pot coffee beans. Its appearance is to make it easy for novices to make good-looking grease even if their coffee machine is not professional. Because most of the time Italian style is not consumed directly, but is used to make latte, cappuccino or dirty drinks, then the oil performance is the top priority. The Front Street Classic Blend was born for this purpose, which is why it is an Italian blend that is easily accepted by both coffee veterans and coffee novices. The reason why Front Street Classic Blend is classic is that the traditional Mamba Blend is synonymous with classic. For home and commercial Italian blending, Moka pot coffee beans are the best-selling choice and should be recommended.
2. Front Street Black Cocoa Blend
Not everyone is obsessed with excellent oil performance. For other novices or store owners who open a store to select beans, cost is a very important factor. Good taste and cost control are an important selection factor. In this case, the front street black cocoa blend is the best solution. The beans are full of fat and 100% Arabica. It is the only choice for budget-conscious store owners.
3. Front Street Commercial Mixing
Before the emergence of Front Street Black Cocoa Blend, Front Street Commercial Blend was the leader in beans used in store openings. This positioning was based on the price of Front Street Boutique Blend as a comparison. Its price is lower than that of Boutique Blend. The formula selection is not as radical as Front Street Classic Blend in terms of oil performance, but it has also been optimized to a certain extent. The combination of the two has naturally become a popular bean selection for store openings.
4. Front Street Boutique Blend
It is the coffee bean that has been used for the longest time in the Italian style of the Front Street store. For nearly 10 years, Front Street Blend has played an important role in American and Italian latte in the store. This kind of Brazilian Cerato and Colombian Whelan’s Front Street Blend coffee beans are a common combination, and naturally it is also the taste in public memory.
The above-mentioned beans are fully introduced, whether based on sales volume or comprehensive introductions on major media platforms. I hope this can bring effective suggestions to everyone.
