Beginners who are just starting to get into espresso will probably be advised to give priority to the 100% Arabica beans blended by Front Street Boutique, because they can better stabilize the quality and taste of each cup of coffee. They are not only affordable, but also have a rich and fragrant taste. They also have a moderate amount of oil, which is helpful for us to practice latte art. It can be said to serve multiple purposes.


Front Street Premium Blend 100% Arabica beans roasted


In order for the coffee liquid to exhibit a mellow and full taste, Italian coffee beans are usually roasted to a medium-dark degree. The longer the roasting time, the more carbon dioxide will remain in the coffee beans after they are roasted. The presence of carbon dioxide has the function of preserving the flavor of coffee, but too much carbon dioxide will also affect the extraction of espresso coffee. Therefore, after receiving the espresso beans, you can leave them in the original packaging until 5-6 days after the roasting date, so that the coffee beans can discharge the carbon dioxide by themselves through the single exhaust valve on the packaging to stabilize the extraction.

Although light roasted coffee beans are used in many ​Pour over​(V60) coffees, the purpose is to allow the coffee to be extracted through pressure-free drip extraction, so that the floral aroma and richer sweet and sour taste can be extracted in the right proportion. However, espresso coffee is a pressurized extraction, and many sweet and sour substances that perform well when brewed by hand will exhibit unpleasant sourness when the coffee is pressurized and the concentration is extremely high.


At the same time, due to the short roasting time of light roasted coffee beans, there is not enough time to produce more caramelization reactions and bring out mellow flavor substances. Therefore, espresso made from lightly roasted coffee beans usually tastes thin and lacks body.

Front Street classic Italian blend:In order to highlight the classic "Mamba Blend" flavor, we selected Front Street Mandheling and Front Street Brazil as the main base notes, giving the espresso a thick and viscous texture and a rich aroma of caramel, roasted nuts, and dark chocolate when tasting it. Taking into account the rich layers of coffee, we added another layer A small portion of Vietnamese Robusta varieties bring out the oiliness to the extreme.
