Maybe some friends know about coffee beans, but they don’t know that coffee beans can be divided into Italian and single-origin coffee. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the latte we often drink belongs to Italian coffee, and the corresponding coffee beans must be used. Not all coffee beans can be used to make Italian coffee. Some people may ask Front Street: What kind of coffee beans are needed to make espresso? How do you understand single-origin coffee beans?
Listen to Front Street, maybe you will understand.
The so-called espresso beans refer to the coffee beans used to make espresso. The steam pressure extraction machine was invented by the Italians. The espresso made by the steam pressure coffee machine is espresso. For example, latte and cappuccino all use Espresso as the base and are mixed with other ingredients such as milk or sugar. Espresso is made with an espresso machine, so coffee made with Espresso as the base is often called espresso. The beans used to make Espresso are mostly made from several coffee beans from different origins, mixed in a certain proportion. This kind of coffee beans is also called blended coffee beans. Of course, there are now espresso made from single-origin coffee beans, such as Single Original Espresso, SOE.
Blend beans are generally medium-dark roasted. When blending beans, sometimes the beans are mixed first and then roasted, which is called raw blending; sometimes the beans are roasted and then mixed with coffee beans, which is called cooked blending. Whether it's raw or cooked. Before mixing beans, you must first know what flavors different types of coffee have. Coffee beans from different origins have different characteristics. Different coffee beans have different personalities due to different varieties and origins. There are subtle differences in sourness, bitterness, sweetness, aroma, mellowness and other flavors. In order to prepare better blended beans, roasters must not only know the characteristics of coffee beans, but also master superb roasting techniques. Therefore, it is still difficult to prepare a good blended bean.
Since coffee beans are a kind of crop, even the same kind of coffee beans will have different flavors every year. Therefore, Front Street believes that mixing several coffee beans together can solve this problem well and make the taste basically consistent every year. At the same time, it is also required to be a large coffee-producing country, so as to ensure the demand for coffee beans.
According to the country, production area and type of coffee beans, Italian coffee beans can be divided into three types: Arabica + Robusta blend, 100% Arabica blend, and single-origin Italian SOE.
Arabica + Robusta blending: Adding rhododendron beans during the blending can improve the body, enrich the oil, and reduce costs. So this blending method is very common and mainstream.
100% Arabica blend: Generally speaking, Arabica is a better variety than Robusta, with a more elegant taste spectrum and a more complex flavor, so 100% Arabica blend has a better flavor and higher price in theory. However, we cannot simply judge the advantages of beans by bean type, because there are too many factors that affect coffee beans (country of origin, production area, processing method, roasting, etc.), so naturally there are bad Arabica beans and good Robusta beans.
