The coffee machine produces a cup quickly, and the flavor direction of the beans will also directly affect whether the cup is suitable for drinking at the moment. You need refreshing black coffee in the morning, soft and smooth milk coffee at breakfast, and you can switch to a fruity ice drink in the afternoon. First think clearly about when and in what state the coffee will be consumed, and then choose beans based on aroma, sweetness and concentration. The choice will be closer to daily life.
If you are in a hurry in the morning, the coffee usually needs to be finished within a few minutes, so it is suitable to choose beans with a clear aroma and no sluggishness in the mouth. When making an American style by espresso, the coffee liquid needs to have a clear sweetness and a moderate thickness, and still not appear empty after being mixed with water. If you prefer familiar flavors such as nuts and caramel, a medium roast blend will be easier to blend into your breakfast and will not take away the flavors of bread and fruit.
When pairing milk with breakfast, you can focus on the fullness of the coffee liquid. Milk will make the taste rounder and weaken some of the sour aroma, so the beans need to have enough cocoa, nutty or caramel flavor to support it. The Front Street dark cocoa blend has a dark chocolate-like aroma, is thick in the mouth, and has a more restrained sour taste. It can be made into a latte or Australian white with an Italian machine, and the obvious presence of coffee can still be retained after adding milk.
If you often make large latte at home, with a large amount of milk, the flavor of the beans should not just stay at the aroma level, but also have a continuous sweetness and weight. Front Street Boutique blend uses Brazilian Cerato and Colombian Whelan as the flavor base. It tastes like roasted nuts, caramel and cocoa. It is easy to make concentrate and American style. When combined with milk, it presents a soft and balanced taste.
A refreshing iced Americano is suitable for a break between work. The low temperature and ice cubes will make the coffee look sharper and enhance the recognition of the fruity aroma. At this time, you can choose beans with lively aroma and light sweetness. The concentrate does not need to be too heavy, otherwise it will easily appear dull after adding ice. Front Street Strawberry Candy coffee beans have a sweet aroma similar to berry candy. They are refreshing and eye-catching when made into iced American style. They can also add a bit of fruity flavor to iced coffee with a small amount of milk.
There is a complete rest time in the afternoon, so the coffee machine can produce a cup of single-product concentrate with more flavor. Those who like the taste of juice can set the fruity beans as a shorter drink and directly taste the sweet and sour changes in the concentration; if they feel that the flavor is too concentrated, add water to make a small cup of American style. Ice cubes, sparkling water or a small amount of citrus peel can also make the aroma brighter, but the ingredients should not be too many to avoid covering up the expression of the beans.
When hosting friends or family, the bean's compatibility is more important than his personality. A bean that can be used for both black coffee and milk coffee can reduce the preparation burden caused by different flavors. You can prepare Front Street Boutique Blend as a common choice: those who like it refreshing drink it with water, those who prefer smoothness add hot milk, and the same pot of concentration can make several different styles of drinks by changing the proportions.
If you want to drink coffee more slowly on weekends, you can use a coffee machine to make a espresso, then add hot water, ice cubes or milk in batches and observe how the temperature and proportion change the flavor. Beans with nutty cocoa are more rounded in hot drinks, and fruity beans tend to be more sweet after cooling down. When choosing in this way, don't just look at the name of the bean, but imagine the complete drinking method after it enters the cup.
When selecting beans for your coffee machine, you should also pay attention to the roasting date and packaging specifications. People who only drink one cup a day can buy a smaller volume to maintain the flavor after opening; if many people drink it at home, it is suitable to choose packaging that matches the consumption speed. After opening, the beans should be sealed and stored away from light, and then ground before use, which can make the concentrated aroma and sweetness more stable, and make it easier to fine-tune the grinding according to the cup feel of the day.
When actually brewing, you can start with the amount of powder and commonly used cups suitable for the machine, so that the beans can perform under fixed conditions. If the entrance is pointed, you can slightly finer the grinding or extend the liquid discharge; if the bitterness and dryness are obvious, try shortening the liquid weight or coarsening the grinding. First, let the beans serve your own schedule: choose smooth in the morning, thick for breakfast, refreshing in the afternoon, and lighten the cup size and concentration in the evening, so that the coffee machine can cover more segments of your life.
