Blended coffee beans are usually prepared for four purposes

1. Italian (fancy) coffee formula

At present, in fine coffee, Italian (fancy) coffee is still the mainstream, and Italian coffee is bound to add dairy products, and too sour coffee or taste too thin single coffee, it is not suitable for adding to milk.

Coffee bean blending purposes

Therefore, boutique cafes usually develop special blend coffee beans for their own Italian coffee. Generally, the more common characteristics are: crema is more, sweetness is higher, emphasis on the performance of endings (chocolate, honey, stone fruit, etc.), taste is uniform and not particularly sour, and it is generally used to calling it Italian coffee beans.

Of course, this is only a general speculation. The performance of Italian beans varies greatly according to the flavor that each cafe wants to interpret. To give two more specific examples:

Crema is so strong that most people would be scared. The ending rhyme is an adult flavor of bitter chocolate.

âTM ¦ No emphasis on crema, a delicate balance between sweet and sour fruit flavours and milk with a light texture

From the above two cases, it can be seen that there are many changes in Italian beans, and to be able to bake the ideal taste is a test of the coffee shop's understanding and combination of flavor, so judging the quality of Italian beans is one of the criteria for many people to judge a coffee shop. However, personal advice does not have to be so critical, as more fun, more appreciation, more imagination of other people's home righteousness beans, to help themselves more.

2. Suitable for long-term supply:

This is still relevant to Italian coffee, which is generally served in coffee shops with strict proportions of ingredients to maintain the quality of the cup. The coffee beans with the greatest impact happen to be the most problematic materials, especially when using a single product to make espresso coffee, often facing the problem of a single product out of stock, and if you want to change to another single product, there will be a big trouble that the formula must be readjusted.

Therefore, in order to maintain the long-term stability of the supply of Italian beans, the use of larger quantities of coffee beans (possibly non-farm beans) for preparation, you can avoid the problem of some specific coffee stocks as much as possible.

In addition, because the original is to mix coffee beans, if one of the coffee quality is different, you can also take other closer coffee beans as soon as possible to correct and replace, because the proportion is less, after the replacement can maintain the consistency of flavor, not as a single bean, the characteristics are obvious and account for 100%, but once the replacement is completely changed.
