SOE is the abbreviation of "Single Origin Espresso", which in Chinese means: espresso from a single origin. In layman's terms, it means replacing the "blended coffee beans" usually used to make Italian coffee with "single origin (single origin - coffee beans)", but still using an Italian coffee machine to make a cup under high-pressure extraction.Espresso.
We all know that the Italian coffee we drink daily (such as latte/Americano, etc.) is made using espresso as the base, so the flavor and texture of the espresso itself directly affects the taste of the entire cup of coffee. In order to make espresso coffee show a balanced and mellow coffee flavor in a high-temperature pressurized environment, most coffee shops use blended coffee beans to make it; but in recent years, it has been discovered that espresso made from single-origin beans has gradually become a popular trend, which is the SOE mentioned at the beginning.
Blended coffee beansThe pursuit is stability, and single-origin coffee is to highlight the flavor of the place of origin.
Coffee is an agricultural product. A single production area will be affected by weather, planting and other factors, so beans from the same production area will have different flavors. In order to solve the problem that coffee beans from a single production area cannot have stable quality and flavor for a long time, the flavor characteristics of coffee beans from different production areas are used, and coffee beans from more than two different production areas are used in different proportions and by learning from each other's strengths to make a coffee bean stable in flavor for a long time. At the same time, the price will be much cheaper than directly using coffee beans from a single origin.

The biggest feature of espresso is that it is rich and fragrant. After adding milk/water, etc., the coffee flavor is still obvious. In addition, because the coffee machine is an incremental extraction and the time is short, we give priority to using fresh blended coffee beans with medium and dark roasts, which not only provides sufficient oil, but also brings a rich roasting aroma to the espresso, thus making our extraction process twice the result with half the effort.
