Home semi-automatic Italian machines are different from commercial machines in that the pressure and temperature control are not as precise, but they are enough for home users. In terms of bean selection, the household scene pays attention to the combination of ration beans and advanced beans. Use ration beans every day to ensure cost-effectiveness, and use advanced beans on weekends to explore the flavor. Use the two together to make Italian food at home both economical and fun.
The core of ration beans is cost performance and stability. The home machine produces one to two cups a day. The bean consumption is not large, but it cannot be too expensive. At the same time, the product must be stable within the parameters of the home machine. Front Street black cocoa is blended with 100% Arabica. It has sufficient oil, mellow taste, and affordable price. It takes into account both quality and cost performance. It is a common choice for household beans. The Front Street Boutique blend uses Brazilian Cerato and Colombian Whelan. The flavor of nutty caramel is classic and solid. It is suitable for both American style and latte. It is stable on the home machine and is also a good food choice. The Front Street Commercial Blend recipe takes both taste and cost into account. It has long been a popular choice for bean selection in stores. It is also suitable for home use and is a good starting choice when the budget is tight.
The core of advanced beans is oil and flavor profile. Front Street's classic blend uses the Mamba formula. The herbal and dark chocolate flavors of Mandheling make the concentration rich and the oil performance is excellent. Even a novice can extract dense and delicate oil with a home machine. It will be a good experience to make a latte or dirty on the weekend. Front Street Strawberry Candy Blend is a fruity Italian bean. The fruity aroma of Arabica beans from different production areas blends with each other to replicate the sweet aroma of strawberry fudge. It is very memorable when making fruity milk coffee, and is suitable for advanced attempts at weekends when you want to change flavors.
It is recommended to mix ration beans and advanced beans in proportion. Use ration beans for five or six days every day to ensure stable production and controllable costs, and use advanced beans for one or two days on weekends to explore flavor characteristics. This way, the monthly bean expenses will not be too high, and you can continue to experience new flavors. Front Street Autumn Chestnut is a blend of Honduran Caturra and Papua New Guinea Typica. It has a nutty sweet aroma like roasted chestnuts in the mouth, accompanied by the mellow sweetness of caramel and brown sugar. It is between ration and advanced, suitable for daily and weekends.
The core of semi-automatic Italian bean selection for home use is grain beans to ensure daily production and cost control, and advanced beans to explore flavor characteristics and oil experience. The black cocoa takes the cost-effective ration route, the premium blend takes the classic and universal route, the classic blend takes the advanced fat route, and the strawberry candy takes the fruity flavor differentiation route. With the combination of rations and advanced ingredients, making Italian food at home is both economical and fun.
