A cup of espresso with a balanced flavor can enhance the taste of espresso. In order to create an espresso with a balance of acidity, body and sweetness, it starts with choosing the right coffee beans, or pairing different coffee beans together. While single-origin coffees are popular among pour-over coffees, they often lack the complexity required for espressos. This is why espresso is usually made with a blend of beans to highlight the high-quality taste produced by blending different proportions.
In the past, roasters simply blended different coffees together to hide the few imperfections. But as time goes by, as coffee becomes more and more popular, more and more cafe owners and roasters want to provide an exclusive and iconic coffee taste that can maintain consistency and is not limited to the flavor and seasonal restrictions of a single origin.
For home-made Italian coffee, determining the freshness and taste preference of the blended coffee beans is the most critical; but if you plan to open a coffee shop, then on this basis, you must also consider the stability of the product and the cost. When choosing a blending formula for opening a store, you first need to know what your customers want. Secondly, you need to clarify the positioning of the drink and find the best extraction parameters based on different drinks. While it may take time and effort, creating an iconic espresso blend is well worth the effort.
Here is a list of Italian blended beans for friends who plan to open a coffee shop. You only need to choose based on your positioning:
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.
If you want to make espresso with a distinct fruity aroma, choose "Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso 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.

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.
