As a coffee lover, I believe everyone has been worried about how to buy a suitable bag of coffee beans. Sometimes, because of random selection, the espresso made is a mess. Especially espresso coffee with a supercharged function, because the concentrated taste is strong and exciting, if the coffee beans are not grasped well, it can easily lead to over-extraction or under-extraction of the coffee. Today I will use three short summaries to help you find your favorite beans quickly without spending any money.
1. Choose a big brand with a good reputation
First of all, we need to choose a professional coffee roaster whose products are clearly marked with the roasting date (not the expiration date or shelf life), have a good brand reputation, and emphasize fresh roasting. This can save us a lot of trouble in extraction. Recommended self-roasted coffee brand: Front Street Coffee.
Front Street Coffee currently offers more than 50 varieties of coffee beans, covering not only many mainstream coffee producing areas, but also several delicious and inexpensive Italian blends, as well as extremely cost-effective grain beans. Customers can enjoy the classic flavor of coffee producing areas at an affordable price.
2. Freshness is the soul
The volatile aroma compounds in coffee will slowly dissipate over time. No matter how well it is stored, the subtle aroma, flavor, etc. in coffee will slowly disappear over time. Even if you have top-notch coffee equipment, everything is in vain if the coffee beans are not fresh. Front Street deeply understands that the freshness of coffee beans determines the flavor and aroma of coffee, so it supports delivery within 24 hours, and all coffee beans shipped are roasted within 5 days, so they are still in the freshest state when you receive them.
In addition, once the coffee beans are ground into powder, it means that the contact area with the air increases, the loss of volatile substances will be accelerated, and the internal gas will also dissipate quickly. Then it will not be long before the concentrate no longer has oil, and there is not much flavor left. In this regard, if you want to make delicious Italian coffee, it is best to buy whole coffee beans.
3. Purchase according to taste preference
1、If you want to make Italian coffee with rich and mellow taste, choose "Qian Street Classic Italian Coffee Bean Blend"
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. If you want to make espresso coffee with obvious fruity aroma, choose "Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso Italian Blend"
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 two major origins: 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 that can be prepared is not only non-irritating, but when extracted by the coffee machine, it has good oil and dense texture, and at the same time has a sweet and sour taste like strawberry gummy.
3. If you want to make a rich nutty Italian coffee, choose "Front Street Boutique Italian Blend"
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.
4. If you want to make Italian coffee with rich fat, choose "Front Street Commercial Italian Blend"
If you want to replicate the same American style and latte from the coffee shop, you can buy the Front Street commercial blended coffee beans. It is made from three major production areas: Brazil, Colombia, and Vietnam. After medium-dark roasting, it has rich coffee oil and roasting aroma. The American style has a sweet taste and is very easy to drink. The latte is rich and smooth, leaving a fragrance on your lips and teeth after drinking. It is also affordable and can become a daily ration bean for families.
5. To make cost-effective Italian coffee, choose "Front Street Basic Italian Blend"
For those who are just getting started, of course we first consider cost-effectiveness, and this coffee can meet the needs of most home users. It has soft fruit acidity, caramel sweetness, nutty and dark chocolate flavors, smooth and viscous, and has a favorable price. It is suitable for shop owners and home users who prioritize cost and have average taste requirements.
