When it comes to Italian coffee beans, many people may first think of blended beans. Front Street believes that this is not entirely correct, but it is not entirely wrong either. Because now Italian coffee beans are not only made from blended beans, but also single-origin coffee beans, called SOE. For coffee novices, making a delicious cup of coffee is naturally inseparable from a pack of good Italian beans, so how to choose and buy them becomes the key to the entire production.
Let’s first learn about espresso beans:
First of all, espresso beans are obviously the beans used in espresso machines. In the past, it may generally refer to blended beans, but not anymore. Now not only blended beans can be used to make espresso beans, but single-origin coffee beans can also be used to make espresso beans. Let’s first look at what bean blends are. Blending beans is a mixture of various single-origin coffee beans. Generally, it is more common to mix two or three coffee beans.
There are three reasons for blending: price, stability, and flavor. There are not many coffee beans that can achieve the above three points at the same time. Here are four popular Italian coffee beans based on the coffee preferences of most friends:
1. Mellow and deliciousItalian blendRecommended: Front Street classic Italian blend

On this basis, coupled with Colombian coffee beans, the espresso that can be prepared is not only non-irritating, but when extracted by the coffee machine, it has good oil and dense texture, and at the same time has a sweet and sour taste like strawberry gummy.
