If you want to make delicious espresso and milk coffee with home espresso machines and moka pots, choosing the right blend of beans is key. There are several Italian blends on Front Street. How to choose between classic blend, black cocoa blend, and premium blend? This article clearly explains the positioning and suitable groups of the three models at once.
Three types of blended beans, each with different positioning
Front Street Classic Blend is specially designed for Italian-style production and Moka pot. It uses the traditional Mamba blend formula and has a mellow and warm taste. Its biggest advantage is its excellent oil performance - even a novice can easily extract dense and delicate oils with a non-professional home coffee machine. Such good oils are indispensable for making latte, cappuccino and dirty.
Front Street black cocoa is blended with 100% Arabica beans, which has plenty of oil, a mellow taste, and a very affordable price. Its positioning is very clear: taking into account quality and cost performance, it is suitable for novices who want to control costs, or store owners who are just starting out, saving worry and money.
Front Street Boutique Blend is an Italian blend that has been used in the store for the longest time. It uses Brazilian Cerato and Colombian Whelan. The flavor is very classic. It is the most familiar Italian coffee flavor in my memory. It is suitable for home and commercial use.
How to choose
Pursuing the expression of fat and wanting to make the same milk coffee as in the coffee shop → Classic blending
Limited budget, want to balance taste and cost performance → Black cocoa blend
Want a classic and stable Italian flavor that can be used both at home and in business → Premium blending
A little suggestion
When choosing blended beans for the first time, don’t worry too much. First, look at your core needs: whether you “want good fat” or “want cost-effectiveness.” The three models are mainly Arabica beans with guaranteed quality. If you choose the right positioning, the espresso and milk coffee will not disappoint.
By clarifying the differences between these three blended beans, most of the bean problems for home Italian machines and Moka pots will be solved.
