SOE stands for single origin espresso, which is espresso made from beans from a so-called single coffee bean producing area. What single origin coffee and SOE have in common is single origin.
Generally, single-origin coffee in cafes is made by hand, while SOE is made by an espresso machine. After being pressure-baptized by 9BAR, more and more "Single Origin" Italian recipes are now loved by consumers.
SOE coffee will eventually enter the Italian coffee system, so to determine whether this bean can be recognized as a successful SOE after roasting, it must not only pass the cupping test, but also evaluate whether the final SOE espresso coffee meets the production standards of a cup of Italian coffee. The popularity of simple recipes means that consumers have been able to accept that good coffee is a seasonal product, which is an important criterion for testing SOE.
specialty coffeeRoasters no longer need to make recipes with more than seven or even ten kinds of green beans in order to maintain the richness and consistency of flavor. The small number of component styles means that each replacement of "parts" will cause a big change in the overall flavor performance and taste. The stability and consistency of the flavor are no longer the primary consideration, the consistency of the "concept" is the focus, faithfully presenting the seasonal flavor, and keeping the espresso formula bean products under the same "concept". This is the new blending trend of espresso beans.
The popularity of SOE has made people realize that only high-quality beans can better express the flavor of coffee. The recipe of Italian coffee does not need to be complicated. Through simple and ingenious combinations, complementary and synergistic effects can be achieved.
In Front Street's view, many excellent SOEs are no less than single products. The roasting methods for making SOE coffee beans are very different from those for making Pour over(V60) coffee beans. This is also the pursuit of roasting skills, and it is also a further presentation of specialty coffee. Since the espresso machine has a pressure of more than 9 bar, and the espresso extraction process requires nearly boiling hot water and extremely finely ground coffee powder, the SOE coffee beans must not be roasted too lightly, otherwise they are prone to splashing and sour taste, and they cannot be too dark, which will mask the flavor of the place of origin.
If the single-origin coffee is mainly floral and fruity, it will use a lighter roasting degree, and the SOE flavor will be the bright and sweet and sour flavor of various fruits. For example, the sun-dried Oiran coffee beans on the Front Street Bean List have the sweet and sour taste of strawberry and passion fruit.
Selecting single-origin coffee beans with chocolate and nut tones will be roasted at a darker degree, and the espresso produced will have a strong aroma of roasted hazelnuts. For example, Front Street. Brazilian Queen Manor coffee beans have the sweetness of buttery peanuts and dark chocolate.
