The Italian recipe of a coffee shop is called House Blend, which is usually a blend of two or more different single-origin coffees. It is mainly used to make Italian coffee drinks, such as cappuccino, Americano, latte, Australian white, etc. Having a bag of the same Italian beans from the coffee shop is a prerequisite for us to reproduce these drinks at home.
Although there are many choices of blended beans, you must know that espresso is extracted under high temperature, high pressure, and extremely fine grinding, so the taste is very exciting. Therefore, if it is made with lightly roasted beans, the coffee will tend to be sour and thin. Therefore, if you want to maintain stable extraction every day, it is recommended to buy a medium-dark roasted type. According to the sales rankings, the recommended Italian blends are as follows:
1. Rich and mellow taste: Front Street’s classic Italian blended coffee beans
Most coffee lovers have only heard of Mamba coffee, but they don't know the formula and origin of "Mamba". In fact, Mamba is a combination of Indonesian Mandheling beans and Brazilian coffee beans. The taste can play a complementary and harmonious role. Mamba blending was very popular in Taiwanese cafes in the early years, and it can be regarded as an ancient coffee flavor. Front Street's classic Italian blend is based on the Mamba recipe and adds Robusta, which fully improves the oiliness of the coffee and makes the Italian coffee body stronger. It is suitable for home production and used for latte art.
2. Rich floral and fruity aroma: Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso Italian blended coffee beans
If you want to make an espresso with a floral and fruity aroma, you should use medium roasted coffee beans. We recommend Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso coffee beans. You can order directly from Taobao or Tmall stores. This is a espresso made from Costa Rica Tara beads, which are famous for their honey processing, and Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. On this basis, coupled with Colombian coffee beans, the espresso you can prepare is not only non-irritating, but also has good oil and dense texture when extracted by the coffee machine. It also has a sweet and sour taste like strawberry gummy, suitable for making American style or latte.
3. Rich nutty flavor: Front Street Premium Italian blended coffee beans
As the world's top coffee-producing countries, Brazilian coffee and Colombian coffee have long been famous. Front Street combines coffee beans from the two production areas. The nutty aroma and balanced taste of Brazilian coffee and the chocolate tonality of Colombian coffee perfectly achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two. The extracted espresso has the flavor of butter cookies, cocoa, and roasted nuts. Suitable for friends who don't like sour taste, used for making American style and latte.
4. Same style as the coffee shop: Front Street Commercial Italian blended coffee beans

Whether it is Pour over(V60) coffee or espresso, if you want to brew it well, you must use fresh coffee beans. Front Street has always believed that the freshness of coffee beans is a very important part of brewing. The coffee beans shipped by FrontStreet Coffee are all roasted within 5 days, because FrontStreet knows that the freshness of coffee beans has a great impact on the flavor. The mission of Front Street Roasting is "freshly roasted and good coffee", so that every customer who orders receives the freshest coffee.
Since the gas in coffee beans will be gradually discharged over time, and the aroma will gradually decrease at the same time, the best tasting period of coffee beans is usually 40 to 50 days after roasting. Therefore, Front Street recommends that you drink it as soon as possible within one and a half months to avoid unpleasant flavors such as wood and bitterness.
