First of all, espresso beans are obviously the beans used in espresso machines. In the past, it may generally refer to blended beans, but not anymore. Not only nowBlended beans can be used to make espresso beans, and single-origin coffee beans can also be used to make espresso beans. Let’s first look at what bean blends are. Blending beans is a mixture of various single-origin coffee beans. Generally, it is more common to mix two or three coffee beans.
This type of coffee is roasted by professional roasters after mixing different varieties of coffee beans, bringing out the advantages of various single-origin coffee beans to create a more balanced taste. That is to say, if one kind of coffee bean tastes soft and lacks body, you can add another bean with sufficient body and body, and use the advantages of individual coffee beans to complement each other. The taste may be complementary or enhanced, thereby creating a coffee with a richer taste.
For example, the delicious and affordable Front Street Boutique 100% Arabica coffee blends the nutty aroma of Brazilian coffee and the cocoa flavor of Colombian coffee to add a layered flavor to the espresso. The taste will be soft, slightly sour, sweet, with a nutty aftertaste. The overall feeling is not too exciting, gentle, and the oil is medium.
Single-origin coffee beans are also a type of Italian coffee beans. Espresso made from single-origin coffee beans is also calledSOE coffee. SOE is actually the abbreviation of "Single Origin Espresso", which in Chinese means: espresso from a single origin. In fact, it is not a high-end coffee. It just replaces the "blended coffee beans" usually used to make espresso with "single-origin coffee beans". It is also a cup of espresso made by high-pressure extraction through an espresso machine.
Although single-origin coffee beans can be Pour over(V60) to produce very delicious coffee, if it is made into espresso, it requires a deeper roasting than ordinary Pour over(V60) roasting. Because espresso beans require high pressure to extract a small cup of espresso, it is generally more appropriate to use medium-dark roasted coffee beans. Medium-dark roasted coffee beans contain more carbon dioxide, forming more concentrated oil.
