If you go to the coffee bean roaster to look for coffee, you won't find a mocha or latte. Because it's seasoned and processed coffee.

What can be found in the coffee baking factory is some so-called single coffee and espresso. Most of the individual coffee is named after the place of origin or the production estate, mainly to drink its own special flavor, but because of the different ways of baking, grinding and brewing in different cafes, the same kind of coffee beans will have a great difference in taste. As a result, there may be a big difference in taste between the mantenin you drink in store An and what you drink in store B. As a result, many players will have preferred beans and bake them themselves in order to get their favorite taste.

Individual coffee is often brewed in a siphon pot or hand brew, and you will never see it extracted by machine in a cafe. Single coffee has a special sweet and bitter taste, there is no need to mix milk and so on, it just destroys the aroma of coffee. Especially in the way of hand flushing, the variable factor is greater than the siphon pot, which can make the same batch of coffee beans have more different flavors. Good coffee, brewed by hand, can enjoy the multiple smells of coffee.

Espresso is mainly used for Italian extraction and is divided into southern and northern baking methods. Because the northern Italian area is colder than the southern Italian region, the local roasting is too deep. In terms of taste, it is thicker, and compared with southern Italy, it is round, each has its own favorite, can not be said to be good, like it is good. Espresso is used in espresso machine to extract espresso, so it is mixed with several different kinds of beans, so the espresso drunk by different cafes varies greatly. Because the espresso extracted is thicker than hand-brewed or siphoned, milk or chocolate syrup is added for seasoning, and because of the different proportions, there are lattes and cappuccinos or mochas.

Individual coffee mainly focuses on black coffee, which can be changed from baking beans to brewing, so it takes more skills to control the way it is brewed.

Espresso mainly focuses on fancy (mixed) coffee, which is mainly brewed in an Italian coffee maker or mocha pot.
