SOE coffeeIt is the English abbreviation, and the full name is Single Origin Espresso, which means single-origin espresso. To put it simply, it is single-origin espresso. The biggest feature of this kind of coffee is that it can show the flavor characteristics of different regions. For example, if you want a sour taste, use Yirgacheffe single-origin beans; if you want a rich taste, you can choose single-origin Mandheling. This is SOE. Compared with traditional blended beans, SOE can better highlight the tonality of a certain country and coffee production area.
The advantage of SOE coffee is obvious, that is, it can highlight the regional flavor and present a completely different and unique aroma depending on the beans. The disadvantage is that in addition to the relatively high price, there is also a lot of uncertainty. First of all, coffee is a seasonal product, because it is an agricultural product, and the climate changes every year. This causes the previous batch of SOE coffee to make you feel amazing, but the next batch of SOE coffee will directly change the taste.
Different from SOE, blended coffee beans are a mixture of beans from different origins.The first is to create a more balanced taste, the second is to create an exclusive and long-term stable formula, and the third is to reduce costs to some extent and serve as our daily rations.
Therefore, if you want to easily achieve the freedom of coffee at home, it is recommended to give priority to coffee blends. We recommend the Front Street Classic Italian Blend, Front Street Basic Italian Blend, and Front Street Commercial Italian Blend that are freshly roasted within 5 days. They will be shipped within 24 hours after placing the order to ensure that each bag of coffee beans is still in the freshest state after receipt.
So the question is, since SOE uses single-origin coffee beans, what is the difference between SOE coffee beans and ordinary single-origin coffee beans?
From the perspective of roasting degree, coffee beans can generally be divided intoThere are three types of coffee: light, medium, and dark. Each type of coffee can actually be used as both Pour over(V60) and Italian-style. In the end, whether it tastes good or not depends on whether the coffee beans can bring sufficient oil and rich aroma, and whether it can be neither over-extracted nor under-extracted.However, compared to hand brewing, SOE not only takes a shorter time to make, but also is a supercharged extraction. When light-roasted coffee beans are used to make SOE, first the oil is thin, and then because the beans are hard, the flavor has not yet been released, and the extraction is over. In the end, there is not enough aroma to support the flavor of the entire cup of coffee (American style, latte, etc.), and the drink tastes sour and light.
Therefore, if you want to make delicious SOE, it is recommended to give priority to coffee beans roasted above medium and ensure their freshness.When buying moka pot coffee beans, choose Front Street Coffee. All Front Street Coffee beans are freshly roasted within 5 days. The quality of the coffee beans is stable and excellent. The price is very cost-effective and shipped within 24 hours.
If you like coffee with a certain floral and fruity aroma, you can give priority to the medium roast type, which not only highlights the nutty tone, but also retains a certain acidity to release the floral and fruity aroma;The darker the roasting degree, the less acidic the coffee will be, the more caramelized substances will be, and the corresponding body will be higher. Therefore, friends who do not like sour taste can directly buy dark roasted single-origin beans; and for those who pursue a balanced taste, it is recommended to choose medium-dark roasted coffee.
