If you want to achieve coffee freedom at home or in the office, the best way is to first determine what kind of coffee you want to drink. If you want to drink black coffee, you can choose ear-mounted, Pour over(V60), or American drip machines. If you want to drink latte, you can choose a fully automatic coffee machine or a semi-automatic espresso machine. If you want to make the same taste as in a coffee shop, you need a supercharged espresso machine.
The Espresso Machine has a boiler design inside to facilitate the production of hot water. The high-pressure hot water, which is close to boiling, is passed through finely ground, flat-packed coffee powder to produce a drink of about 30ml. It has a rich flavor and a dense layer of oil.
After adding water to espresso, it can become a cup of Americano coffee, or you can add milk, syrup, cream, spices and other flavorings to make coffee drinks with different flavors such as macchiato, cappuccino, latte, mocha... etc.
Because it has a supercharging function, espresso coffee not only has a rich taste, but also has a dense layer of coffee oil foam on the surface, which we call Crema. The color of the oil tends to be golden yellow or brown, and the aroma also emits different flavor characteristics due to the different coffee beans used. The latte art we see in coffee shops is due to it.
With the blessing of an espresso machine, it becomes much easier to achieve the freedom of coffee at home or in the office. When choosing coffee beans, the first choice is cost-effectiveness and taste. For novices who are just starting to get in touch, the first choice is the front street black cocoa basic blend, which has chocolate, cream, almond, slightly sour flavor, soft taste, sour and sweet It has moderate sweetness and fine oil, which can fully meet the needs of home and office; if you want to drink the flavors of cocoa cookies, berries, grapes, and flowers, you should buy the Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso Italian blend. Its refreshing fragrance and not bitter flavor, whether it is made or American, can attract a group of fans of floral and fruity flavors.
In addition to blended coffee, unique Pour over(V60) single-origin beans can also become your first choice:

During the peeling process of honey processing, coffee farmers can freely adjust the amount of pectin retained according to the desired degree of fermentation. Because pectin is rich in sugar, the more pectin is retained, the darker the color of the coffee beans will be after drying. Black honey retains the highest amount of gum among the four, almost no pectin is removed, and it takes the longest to dry. It generally needs to be dried in the sun for more than 14 days. Therefore, the coffee processed with black honey has a very rich flavor and a rich sweetness.
