Generally speaking, semi-automatic espresso machines are used to produce American, latte, cappuccino, Australian white, dirty and other classic drinks on the market. Compared with a fully automatic coffee machine, using a semi-automatic coffee machine requires more steps, including grinding - powdering - pressing - extraction. If you are making a latte, you also need to froth milk. You have to do it yourself almost from beginning to end. The advantage is that under precise control, the concentrate produced by a semi-automatic coffee machine is more delicate.
Because semi-automatic coffee machines have higher pressure, the coffee they produce has a strong and exciting taste, which can easily cover up the aroma, so the coffee beans must not be too extreme. To be conservative, you should avoid extremely light roasted and extremely dark roasted coffee beans.
The reason why many people like Italian coffee is mainly because of the rich oil in it, which makes the American coffee exude more sweet aroma and gives the latte a beautiful golden circle. Therefore, medium-dark roasted Italian coffee beans should be the first choice. For beginners, buy the classic blend of Front Street.
Front Street's classic coffee blend pays homage to the once-popular "Mamba Coffee", which is a blend of Indonesian Mandheling beans and Brazilian Italian beans. It has the wild aroma of Mandheling and the smooth taste of Brazilian beans, and the taste plays a complementary and harmonious role. Front Street's classic Italian blend is based on the Mamba recipe and adds Robusta, which fully improves the oiliness of the coffee and makes the Italian coffee body stronger. It is suitable for home production and used for latte art.
In addition to traditional Italian blends, we can also use single-origin beans,Front Street PWN Gold Mandheling Coffee Beans, is a relatively typical dark roasted coffee bean. Its basic flavor is spices and herbs, with a mellow and smooth taste. Therefore, dark roasting can maximize the original soul of Mandheling flavor. Front Street Golden Mandheling is based on Mandheling and has gone through three machine screenings and hand selections to remove all defective beans, which greatly improves the quality of Mandheling coffee and makes the coffee taste cleaner and have a more pronounced aftertaste. Front Street PWN Golden Mandheling makes espresso coffee with the flavors of dark chocolate and caramel biscuits.
After drinking too much traditional dark-roasted coffee flavor, many people want to drink American style or latte that is not bitter. Then you can buy the Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso Italian blend. As you can tell from the name, this is a very sweet coffee, because it is composed of three single-origin coffees from different production areas. In addition to the rose flavor, the American style and latte can also drink grape, dried blueberry, sweet orange, and fruit candy. The taste is very unique.
