Many coffee lovers have unknowingly equipped their homes with a lot of coffee appliances. Friends who are obsessed with Italian coffee have even stocked up on Italian coffee machines in preparation for making their own coffee. However, many people don’t know how to choose coffee beans suitable for Italian extraction. They are confused about whether to buy dark roast or light roast, whether to choose a blend or a single product. What is the difference between home use and store use? Today I will give you the answer at once.
Characteristics of Italian coffee
Initially, espresso refers to espresso made by a semi-automatic coffee machine! Because this type of coffee machine originated in Italy, people call it espresso, and the semi-automatic coffee machine that makes it is called an espresso machine.
The perfect Italian espresso requires rich aroma, a mellow but clean overall taste, moderate bitterness, sourness, sweetness, and a perfect balance of aftertaste. To meet the above requirements, we need to do both coffee beans and extraction well at the same time.
What coffee beans are suitable for espresso extraction?
Theoretically, any kind of coffee beans can be used to make espresso. However, because the espresso machine uses pressurized extraction, it is easy to amplify the characteristics of the coffee beans and cause an irritating taste. For example, bitter coffee will become more bitter and sour coffee will become more acidic. Therefore, we recommend giving priority to medium to medium-dark roasted coffee beans. This not only ensures concentrated rich oil, but also gives the coffee a good balanced taste.
