The taste characteristics of SOE coffee how to drink SOE beans and Italian beans which is the better difference?

Many friends asked the baristas on the front street what soe coffee is and why many boutique coffee shops now have soe coffee, but the front street coffee does not put soe coffee on the menu. Qianjie Coffee did not put soe coffee on the menu because soe coffee is an espresso extracted from individual coffee beans. Coffee beans will be affected by the weather, planting, roasting and other factors, which will make the flavor of different batches of the same bean different, and can not guarantee the flavor stability of each cup of espresso.

What is SOE coffee? Single espresso is also known as single espresso-SOE, the full name is "Single Origin Espresso". Although SOE stands for single-origin espresso, it is not necessarily equal to high-quality coffee. If you select single-origin coffee beans with easy to identify flavor as SOE, you can produce a typical espresso with unique flavor. For example, Yega Xuefei's citrus flavor, Kenyan tomato flavor, etc., coupled with espresso under the high pressure of the espresso machine will magnify the taste of coffee, so the flavor performance will be more prominent compared to hand flushing.

What do you need to pay attention to when making SOE?

SOE single-origin espresso, the coffee beans selected in order to highlight the flavor of the producing areas, the baking degree is generally not too deep, compared with the traditional deep-roasted Italian coffee beans, the flavor will be more difficult to extract. Qianjie believes that on the one hand, it is necessary to adjust the extraction parameters to increase the extraction rate. For example, lengthen the extraction time, adjust the degree of grinding, increase the amount of powder and so on.

On the other hand, when producing espresso based on SOE beans, you need to adjust the ratio of espresso to milk or water. Reduce milk or water and highlight the taste of the coffee so that the coffee is not too light. Finally, there are very strict requirements on the coffee beans that choose to make SOE. Although SOE coffee is outstanding, its shortcomings are relatively easy to be magnified because it comes from a single place of origin, so factors such as roasting and particle size will affect the flavor.

How does Qianjie use Brazilian Queen's Manor Yellow bourbon Coffee beans to extract SOE?

20g coffee powder

Coffee liquid quantity 40ml

Extraction time 27 seconds

Grinding degree Pegasus 900N # 1.7

SOE flavor description: citrus, berries, fermented aroma, sticky, moderately bitter, moderately high acidity, bright and lively acidity.

Qianjie hopes that every partner who comes to the Qianjie Cafe can drink stable, distinctive espresso or milk coffee every time. So espresso is made from Shirley, which is made from Essel's sun-red cherries and Honduran whisky buckets, with espresso beans as espresso.

The purpose of Qianjie coffee blending coffee beans: 1. Create a long-term and stable flavor

Different seasons and even different batches of the same producing area will produce different tastes, and the disadvantages of a single producing area will be exposed. you can't be confident that you'll still be able to drink the single-region coffee that tastes good next year (with the exception of coffee beans that dominate the coffee flavor, and other factors from origin to cafe will also cause the coffee beans you buy to taste different from those in the past). So one of the purposes of blending is to create a product that can be supplied for a long time and has a stable flavor for a long time. When the quality of one of the coffee beans can not meet the requirements or changes in the new production season, we can find similar coffee beans to replace, in order to achieve the goal of stability.

two。 Create a flavor that cannot be produced by a single coffee bean

Sometimes single-origin coffee beans are like a person, with both strengths and weaknesses, while matching is like organizing a team to take their strengths to make up for each other's weaknesses, so as to complement each other. Just like using a sweeter coffee bean with a higher acidity coffee bean to achieve a sour-sweet balance, or adding some Brazilian beans to the coffee bean to increase the overall mellow thickness, these are the purpose of blending.

3. Then Qianjie will determine the flavor of the matching target.

When Qianjie Coffee was blending coffee beans with warm sun, we clearly wanted to match a matching bean with wine flavor. so we can immediately put three fermented coffee beans with distinct alcoholic flavor in Honduran sherry barrels, Honduran lychee orchid and Colombian San Jose on the shortlist. After many attempts, and for the sake of cost-effectiveness and other factors, it was finally decided to use the Honduran sherry barrel as the main tone of sunny coffee beans.

4. Finally, Qianjie will determine the matching type.

The advantage of Shengpin is that it can use the same roasting degree to make the coffee stable and uniform, and the second is that it can reduce the number of roasting, one baking can be in place, and improve efficiency. At the same time, the disadvantage of raw baking is also very obvious, and the limitation of raw spelling is very great. Generally speaking, it is recommended that several beans with similar density of coffee beans are recommended. For example, if you mix a coffee bean suitable for shallow roasting and a coffee bean suitable for deep roasting to the same roasting degree, it will be easy to produce 1: 1.
