The coffee industry is constantly developing, no matter in terms of production methods or coffee varieties. Only by continuous innovation and progress can we continue to have a sense of presence and avoid being eliminated by society in the new and ever-changing social era. From its origin to its development to this day, espresso has been constantly innovating.
From the original espresso, to the American coffee of World War II, to the fancy coffee mixed with milk, Italian coffee has experienced so much along the way. Everyone knows about Italian coffee, and many coffee fans are also familiar with specialty coffee, but the less popular SOE is not well known by most people. The popularity of SOE was not high in China a few years ago, and the usage and usage rate of coffee shops was also low. In recent years, the specialty coffee culture has continued to become popular, and with the vigorous promotion of many domestic coffee chain brands, SOE has gradually penetrated into the daily life of coffee consumers in China.
What kind of coffee is SOE?? It sounds like petty bourgeoisie. FrontStreet Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) This article will share with you the story of SOE Coffee!
what isSOE coffee?
SOE is the abbreviation, and the full name is single origin espresso, which means single-origin espresso. It is a coffee made from coffee beans from a single origin and a single variety. It can highlight the regional flavor of the coffee origin. For example, Yirgacheffe will highlight the acidity, and Guatemala will highlight the mellowness.
SOE has been popular abroad for decades, so it has a large audience. In fact, the practice of SOE was introduced to China ten years ago, but it failed to spread to other countries. One of the reasons is that coffee is still a niche culture in China, and a cup of specialty coffee priced at 30 yuan is not affordable every day. The second reason is that the price of SOE coffee is very expensive, dozens of yuan more than ordinary single-origin coffee, so fewer people accept it.
SOE coffee features
When using single-origin coffee to make espresso, few people will only taste a small cup of espresso, but use milk to make milk coffee. This not only facilitates entry, but also allows you to taste the regional flavor of the single-origin coffee itself. As mentioned above, the single-origin SOE coffee uses the extraction method of Italian coffee to greatly amplify the flavor profile of the coffee, not only in SOE coffee but also in traditional Italian coffee, which can highlight the flavor characteristics of the coffee beans in the production area.
Take Yirgacheffe as an example. The flavor characteristics of washed Yirgacheffe are soft acidity and jasmine-like aroma. When made into SOE, it is an espresso with very prominent acidity, which is difficult for ordinary people to drink. But when used as a coffee base to make milk coffee or Americano, the acidity can be diluted and a cup of SOE coffee with a refreshing taste can be obtained.
The same applies to coffee from other production areas, but the flavor and taste will be different, but the variety of flavors and tastes has more choices! But the disadvantage is equally obvious, that is, different batches of SOE coffee will have different flavors and tastes, and consistency cannot be guaranteed. Because the climate and environment are different every day, even if you are surprised this time, you may not be able to have such an experience next time.
