What are espresso beans?


Espresso beans focus on the use of espresso machines, with the goal of making delicious espresso. For stability, beans from more than two origins are usually used for blending, so that each extraction can be mastered, thus balancing the taste of American style and latte.


There are many coffee beans on the market, but not every bean is suitable for coffee machine extraction. Because the coffee machine is in the extreme extraction mode of high pressure and high temperature, if you use light roasted coffee beans to make a concentrate, it will not only be very sour, you will hardly feel the aroma when you drink it, but also have very little fat, so the American style and latte will not taste good.

If you want to make a refreshing American style and a rich and balanced latte, it is recommended to give priority to medium-roasted Front Street Oiran SOE coffee beans, Front Street Queen Manor coffee beans or dark-roasted Front Street Commercial Blend coffee beans.

Is it normal for espresso beans to produce oil?


It is a normal phenomenon for coffee beans to produce oil. It is neither a proof of high-quality coffee nor a sign of moisture! When the coffee beans return to an environment of normal temperature and pressure, the carbon dioxide stored in the beans will begin to be released. At this time, the lipids in the coffee beans can overflow the bean body with carbon dioxide, resulting in oil production, which only occurs in some coffee beans. These oil-producing coffee beans usually have a more intuitive characteristic, which is - "the degree of roasting is darker."

In addition, the speed of oil production is also affected by the degree of baking. For the same bean, the deeper it is roasted, the faster it will produce oil. Combined with the darker roasting degree mentioned above, this is why Italian coffee tends to produce oil.


How to drink traditional Italian coffee?


When a customer orders "Bring me an Espresso," the Qian Street barista will start to produce it. Two minutes later, he will bring the customer a glass of ice water, a small spoon and a small cup of rich coffee liquid with a golden brown foam layer. Drink a sip of water before drinking espresso, which can rinse your mouth and correct your taste. Use the prepared metal spoon to gently stir the coffee liquid to combine, and you will get a dense cream (fat) in the first sip, with a full roasted aroma. The next thing you take into your mouth is the warm coffee liquid, and you can feel the rich flavors of nuts, chocolate, berries, and wine. Take another sip of water halfway through and slowly feel the sweet aftertaste in your mouth.
