Generally speaking, the beans used for espresso are roasted to a medium to medium-dark degree, because espresso is not only used for making black coffee, but also for making fancy coffees such as latte, Australian white, and mocha. If the roasting degree is too light, not only will the oil be scarce, but the flavor of the coffee will also be easily masked by the flavor of the milk. So generally speaking, the beans used for espresso are roasted darker. Even SOE is no exception. It is also a single-origin bean. When it is set to be used for espresso coffee, the roaster will slightly deepen its roasting degree so that it can have better expression when extracted by an espresso machine.
Due to the high consumption of espresso coffee, generally speaking, espresso beans are sold in large sizes such as 1 pound or 1 kilogram. Because of the large quantity, the price is much more affordable than single-origin beans. Front Street today brings you 5 espresso beans that are both cost-effective and delicious:
