The coffee drinks produced by Qianjie Coffee can be divided into two categories, one is Italian coffee, the other is single hand-brewed coffee. One of the most indispensable for making espresso is the base, namely espresso (Espresso). The production method is to use hot water of about 94 degrees Celsius to extract coffee liquid by 9bar high pressure rinsing and grinding into very fine coffee powder. A feature of properly extracted espresso is the presence of Crema, a reddish-brown foam that floats on the surface of espresso and is made up of vegetable oils, proteins and sugars. Qianjie Coffee meets friends who drink coffee for the first time, they often ask what is the difference between espresso and drip coffee, but you can clearly feel the difference in terms of taste. Espresso has a thicker texture than drip coffee. This is because espresso contains more dissolved matter per unit volume.

Starbucks Florna Coffee is a coffee bean used as an extract of espresso, made from a mixture of Latin American and Indonesian coffee beans. The word Flora comes from a small town in northern Italy, where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet story takes place, pointing out the romantic theme of this coffee bean. When it comes to Italian coffee beans, this is a question that many people often ask when they first drink coffee. What is Italian coffee beans? Qianjie coffee will be combined with coffee beans produced in the store to explain.

How to choose Italian coffee beans? Match or single product

The choice of Italian coffee beans will also affect the overall taste of coffee. Nowadays, under the third wave of boutique coffee, more and more cafes offer SOE (single-origin espresso) as one of the options for espresso. How to choose single-origin and blending? What are their advantages and disadvantages?

[single origin Single Origin]

The full name of SOE is "Single Origin Espresso", which translates into single-origin espresso. This concept exists as opposed to the blending of espresso, which will be introduced in the following section of Qianjie Coffee.

Although SOE stands for single-origin espresso, Qianjie Coffee must make it clear that SOE is not necessarily equal to fine coffee. If you choose single-origin coffee beans with easy to identify and strong flavor as SOE, you can produce typical espresso with unique flavor.

The characteristic of "single origin" is also a factor of disadvantage. If coffee beans with insufficient flavor intensity or unpleasant taste are selected, they will also be magnified in espresso, making it easier to drink defects and bad taste, so the requirements for barista's senses and SOE bean selection need to be more stringent.

In addition, Qianjie Coffee would like to remind that SOE is different from our usual hand-made coffee, SOE single-origin espresso beans will be more difficult to bake. On the one hand, in order to highlight the flavor of a single origin, the degree of baking should not be too deep to avoid wasting too much of the flavor of the coffee itself. On the other hand, in order to provide the mellowness and better stability of espresso, the degree of roasting is not recommended. So how to choose is also the difficulty of how to bake SOE coffee beans.

Qianjie Coffee mentioned earlier that single-origin espresso can better express the flavor of the producing area than blending, and can also produce espresso with unique flavor, so around this characteristic, Qianjie Coffee suggests that the extraction scheme should be reconsidered to develop an extraction scheme suitable for the espresso bean. When making SOE-based coffee, the ratio of coffee and water / milk needs to be reconsidered to highlight the flavor performance of the espresso.

[match Blend]

Blended coffee, also known as mixed coffee, is to mix a variety of individual coffee beans together, so as to give full play to the strengths of various individual coffee beans, blended beans from different areas of coffee beans mixed to make a more balanced taste. Qianjie Coffee currently has four blended coffees with different flavors.

Coffee is a kind of crop, so even if it is the same kind of coffee bean, its flavor will be different from year to year, so mixing several kinds of coffee beans can solve this problem very well. when a coffee bean in the mix falls short of expectations or is in short supply in the new season, it can be adjusted by replacing coffee beans with similar flavor.

Qianjie Coffee chose to mix coffee, taking into account that one of the advantages is high stability, can be better consistency.

How to choose coffee in front street?

Qianjie Coffee chose blending as the product of espresso in the store. Currently, a sunflower sunflower is used to mix coffee beans with sherry cask-treated coffee beans and sun-treated red cherry beans from Yejiaxefi. At 6:4, 60% of the Honduran sherry barrel coffee beans provide flavor and mellow thickness for this blend, and 40% of the sun Yega Sheffield provides more aroma and acidity.

[made of iced latte]

To use Qianjie Coffee, a sunflower coffee bean, to make an iced latte, you must first understand what a latte is.

The "latte" in latte is transliterated from Italian "latte", which means "milk". Latte literally translates to mean "milk coffee".

Lattes vary slightly in the ratio of milk to coffee, beans and extraction parameters in each store. But in general, a latte is a coffee drink with a large amount of milk mixed with espresso.

Espresso extraction parameters for iced latte produced from Qianjie Coffee share: coffee powder 18g, coffee liquid 36g, extraction time 28 seconds

Use the above extraction parameters to extract espresso, then pour ice cubes and iced milk into the cup, and finally pour in the extracted espresso.

The espresso made from the warm sun of Qianjie coffee will be a more obvious wine heart chocolate flavor, and the iced latte made with milk and ice will have a smoother taste and a long-lasting chocolate flavor. mixed with pleasant wine taste, long-lasting finish and obvious sweetness, it is very suitable for summer.
