There are many factors that determine whether a cup of coffee tastes good ~ and SOE only refers to being made with single-origin coffee beansespresso, the coffee beans used are not necessarily better than the coffee beans used in blended coffee.
Single origin coffee beans refer to coffee beans from a single origin. For example, the beans in this bag are all grown in the same aa area in a province. As long as they are grown on the road in the same area, they are single-origin coffee beans. A pack of beans comes from the same province, but the beans inside are grown in aa area + bb area, so they are blended coffee beans.
However, coffee beans grown in the same area may not necessarily taste good when used for espresso extraction. The reason why espresso is loved and demanded by so many people is that it has extremely high stability and can maintain a balanced, mellow, strong and full coffee flavor for a long time.
As a crop, coffee is subject to changes in the climate and terroir of the place of production every year, resulting in certain differences in quality and flavor. At the same time, espresso is a highly concentrated coffee liquid extracted at high temperatures. As long as the coffee quality is slightly lacking, or the roasting process is not properly explained, espresso is prone to unpleasant taste and experience.
SOE stands forSingle origin espresso, although it is not necessarily equivalent to specialty coffee, if you select single-origin coffee beans with high flavor recognition as SOE, you can create espresso with a unique and typical flavor. The typical citrus flavor of Front Street Yirgacheffe SOE, the cherry tomato and berry flavor of Front Street Kenya SOE, the spice and woody flavor of Front Street Mandheling, etc., plus espresso coffee will amplify the taste, so the specific flavor will be more prominent compared to hand brewing, but at the same time, the sourness will be amplified.
In past experimental comparisons by FrontStreet Coffee, it was found that espresso coffee extracted from lightly roasted coffee beans has higher acidity and is prone to a sour taste. Add water to make an Americano or mix milk to make a latte. The overall taste will lack body and appear thin and watery.
However, although SOE has outstanding performance, since it comes from a single origin, its shortcomings are relatively easy to amplify. Therefore, factors such as roasting and particle size will affect the flavor, so it may not necessarily taste better than blended coffee. Coffee bean quality, freshness, roasting, coffee machine, production process, personal taste preferences, etc., will all have a great impact on the quality of coffee, so it is impossible to generalize about what kind of coffee tastes good. To use the words of Front Street, a veteran, everyone has their own preferences.
Using single-origin coffee beans to make espresso is nothing more than allowing people who like espresso and milk coffee to taste the flavor of the single-origin beans themselves. If a single-origin bean is not highly recognizable and most people cannot drink the unique flavor of the single-origin bean, then the meaning of SOE will be lost.
If you are the owner of a coffee shop, Front Street recommends blending coffee beans with online flavor and high cost performance as the default option, which can further stabilize the quality of the product, reduce costs at the same time, and have pricing that is more suitable for mass consumers. Then, after the store operation is on track, it will be decided based on the taste needs of the main customer groups whether it is necessary to add SOE options and what single-origin coffee beans to use to make SOE.
