What is S.O.E.?

S.O.E.. It is the abbreviation of Single Origin Espresso, that is, "single producing area espresso". The presentation of the whole taste will be very typical. English abbreviation S.O.E. The full name of Single Origin Espresso, can be called single coffee bean espresso, in which Single Origin means coffee beans from a single estate, and Espresso means to turn single estate coffee beans into espresso.

Speaking of S.O.E., Chen Zhihuang, founder of Fika Fika Cafe, who won the Nordic Cup Coffee roasting Competition in 2013, believes that espresso in the past came from the traditional Italian concept of blending, showing the best balance after a mix of different beans, with a smooth entrance comfort and a stable performance before and after. But the advantages of blended espresso, in addition to the sense of balance, because it can stabilize the formula and control the price, so naturally become the most favorable version of the business choice.

But here's what you need to know:

S.O.E. Is not equal to fine coffee.

S.O.E. Doesn't mean it tastes good.

S.O.E. Does not mean that the quality of mixed beans is higher than that of mixed beans.

S.O.E. Not equal to shallow drying and concentration

Coffee beans from different estates have different local smells, coupled with the magnifying effect after concentration, as well as the baking and bar interpretation of different professional baristas, technical ability has also become the key to the success of performance.

The reason for the need for higher technical ability is that a single bean seed comes from different regions, although the performance is outstanding, but the relative shortcomings are also magnified, so the baking degree and particle size will naturally affect the flavor, which is also the most difficult place to make SOE. In addition, in addition to paying attention to taste, it is more or less necessary to introduce and explain to consumers the flavor and representative meaning of Single Origin coffee beans. Besides tasting and drinking, it is more important to tell stories.
