Does espresso have to be mixed?

Espresso is just one of the ways coffee is extracted. Espresso is coffee made by espresso machines, regardless of the coffee used. It doesn't matter if it's single or blend, or if it's light or dark, as long as it tastes good. There are no rules about what kind of coffee you can use.

Espresso extraction machines have the best conditions for extraction, so the best extraction can be made regardless of the type of coffee used. But the so-called "good extraction" will not only extract the best ingredients in coffee to the maximum; similarly, the bad taste will also be extracted to the maximum, which must be noted. Therefore, it is necessary to use good coffee without defects in the material. If the coffee beans themselves have shortcomings, as mentioned above. Faults are also extracted in large quantities and amplified to intolerable levels.

All coffees have advantages, but they also have disadvantages, so rather than making espresso with single coffee, various single coffee is often mixed to make special coffee for flavor richness and harmony.

Traditional Italian coffee beans are made up of a variety of coffee beans, in Italy, a bag of coffee beans can be made up of several or even dozens of different coffee beans. The biggest benefit of using a variety of coffee beans is to ensure the stability of coffee taste. When the quality of a coffee bean changes, or the yield drops, or the price rises, roasters can choose a coffee bean of similar quality to replace it without affecting the overall taste. Therefore, some famous coffee roasters will treat their blending recipes as trade secrets.

The way to mix and match is raw and cooked.

Green blending refers to mixing different green coffee beans according to the proportion in the recipe and then roasting them.

Cooked, refers to the different coffee beans roasted separately, and then mixed according to the different proportions in the recipe.

Not easy to match:

Roasters need to determine the characteristics of coffee they want to present when choosing blend beans and formulating blend recipes, including sour and bitter performance, body expectations, coffee flavor, and whether to focus on milk coffee or American coffee, or espresso, all of which need to be considered when choosing raw beans, determining roasting methods, and determining recipes. Not only that, but the formula will undergo many tests, adjustments, retests, and adjustments before it is finalized...

Blended beans can also consist entirely of specialty coffee beans.

Blended beans can also consist of fine coffee beans of different roasting degrees.

Bean blends can also be delicious.

Blended beans are not the same as dark roasted espresso beans.

Coffee beans come from the same sack or batch. Due to the post-processing and trading status of green coffee beans, only a small portion of coffee beans can be confirmed as their true origin.

Green coffee beans in the same sack often contain different bean varieties, especially coffee beans from Central and South America.

● Coffee beans can be mixed together by roasting the same batch of green beans in different ways. Technically, it's a SOE coffee bean.

● When the flavor of the origin or variety of coffee beans is easily identifiable, roasters tend to roast slightly lighter to show the characteristics of the coffee beans. When bakers focus more on balance and body, they choose a more appropriate baking method to improve the consumer experience.
