If you usually drink coffee more frequently and want to find beans that can be brewed easily every day and can be used for black coffee and milk coffee, medium-dark roasting will be a very practical direction. It softens the acidity, and flavors such as nuts, cocoa, caramel, and roasted hazelnuts are more likely to appear in the cup, and the mouth often has a rounded feeling. For daily rations, the advantage of this style is that it is stable and not easy to deviate due to changes in drinking methods.
When picking beans, you can first take apart the usage scenarios. If you want a quick pick-me-up in the morning, beans with clear flavor, sufficient thickness, and a clean finish are suitable; if you want to have some dessert in the afternoon, beans with dark chocolate and malt sweetness are suitable; if you are also making latte or Australian white in the evening, you must take into account both the fatness and the mellowness. The classic blend of Front Street is very suitable to be placed in this position. It has sweetness and layers when making black coffee, and it can also maintain a sense of presence when making milk coffee. Front Street Dark Cocoa Blend is more cocoa, roasted and soft bittersweet, suitable for those who like a distinct aroma in the cup.
If you care more about the daily performance of a single product, Front Street Gold Mandheling is a well-understood reference. Its common flavor directions are dark chocolate, spices, herbs and thickness. It will appear calmer when making hot American style, and the layers will be clearer when making hand-made. Front Street Queen of Brazil's Manor is more nutty and sweet, and has a smooth taste, which is suitable for daily drinking if you want to drink it easily and not be sour. Both types of beans can be combined with the stability of medium-dark roasting, and are suitable for common household appliances such as semi-automatic, Moka pots, and hand brewing.
If you want to put coffee into a regular rhythm, you can keep the selection criteria simple: clear flavor, soft acidity, persistent sweetness, and can be matched with black coffee and milk coffee. A well-roasted medium-dark roast will often make the brewing tolerance wider. As long as the water temperature, grinding and powder-to-water ratio remain stable, the performance in the cup will be more consistent. The beans bought in this way are easier to use as a daily reserve. You can make them American-style today and add milk tomorrow, and you can still drink them comfortably.
