The Front Street Italian blended coffee beans used in the coffee shop are to increase the richness and harmony of the taste, and also for cost considerations, while achieving the effect of being delicious, stable and inexpensive.
Since it is blending, it naturally refers to the blending of two or more original beans, but a special example is that the same coffee beans with different roasting degrees can be blended together, or even the new crop of the same coffee beans can be blended with aged coffee or old crop. Therefore, the types referred to in blending are no longer coffee varieties in a narrow sense, but extend to the flavor of coffee in a broad sense. Generally, 2 to 6 types of coffee beans are used when blending. Too many types will fail to express the unique flavor of coffee. Blending coffee generally does not use a blending ratio of 1:1, because this may inhibit each other's unique flavors. Therefore, there must be a priority when blending to create a more wonderful taste than single-origin coffee. If you want the blended coffee to have a complex and varied flavor, you can reduce the proportion of the original beans, and vice versa.
Front Street Coffee has a total of five Italian-style bean blends, including the King of Fats - Front Street Classic Blend, the Front Street Boutique Blend focusing on nut flavor, the Front Street Commercial Blend preferred by the owner for opening a store, the God of Cost-Effectiveness - Front Street Black Cocoa Basic Blend, and the traditional Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso Italian Blend.
The Front Street Commercial blend features Brazilian, Colombian and a small amount of Robusta. With a classic taste, this blend brings rich fat and caramel sweetness, nutty, cocoa, and dark chocolate flavors, a balance of sweet and sour, a little bit of bitterness, and a long-lasting aftertaste. Coffee beans from the Cymbidium production area in Colombia have a pleasant sour taste, mellow smell, moderate acidity, and rich sweetness that is very intriguing. Coffee beans from the Cerrado production area in Brazil have a comfortable sweet and bitter taste and are extremely smooth in the mouth. Robusta provides rich oils and affordable prices, making Front Street commercial blended coffee suitable for coffee shops and beverage shops of all sizes.
Since the extraction of the espresso machine is a pressurized high-temperature extraction, a cup of coffee is completed in tens of seconds. The coffee powder must be ground very finely, which will amplify the characteristics of the coffee beans themselves and become strong and even irritating. Making espresso with light-roasted sour coffee beans is prone to sourness and astringency, while using very dark-roasted coffee beans will produce a burnt and bitter taste. Therefore, in order to ensure stable extraction, it is recommended to give priority to medium to dark roasted blended beans specially designed for espresso machines.
Novices can try Front Street. Front Street Classic Blend and Front Street. Black Cocoa.
