The principle and purpose of ● Bean blending

1. The theme of the match wants to match what kind of flavor, that is, to determine the goal of the match.

Generally speaking, mixed beans will use a key point to reconcile the taste, aroma and taste. From the sweet, bitter or sour coffee, pick out the preferred flavor, and then mix it according to a certain proportion; the coffee flavor includes the aroma smelled before drinking, the aroma contained in the mouth, and the aroma that recovers from the throat after drinking. Pick out the preferred aroma to enrich the taste, but still focus on one focus.

two。 Before blending coffee, you must first be familiar with the characteristics of each kind of coffee and understand the subtle relationship between roasting degree and coffee flavor.

After mixing beans, you can emphasize the taste and aroma of coffee and meet your own "exclusive coffee". First of all, before matching beans, we should first know the flavor of different varieties of coffee in the world, and beans have different characteristics according to their origin.

Central and South America has a mild taste and a balanced aroma: Africa has a charming floral fragrance in freshness; after recognizing the mellow taste of Asia, you can make a great mix of beans, or you can pick out one from different continents to mix. Mix 2murmur3 varieties to match, and then choose a proper name, whether you enjoy it or as a gift is very good.

3. Determine the task of participating in the blending of coffee beans.

Since a variety of coffee beans are used together, it is necessary to know whether the task of each kind of coffee beans is to make her show soft bitterness, distinct acidity or thick mellow taste, etc.

The relationship between ● blending and baking

In the way of matching beans, the most representative ones are "bake first and then mix" and "match first and then bake". Matching beans will also vary with different baking methods of raw beans, each with different advantages and disadvantages. Although it is difficult to say which method is better, it is "baking first and then matching" in taste, and "matching first and then baking" is better in management.

● baked separately, and then mixed the beans.

Each variety of raw beans is roasted separately, and then mixed in a certain proportion according to the coffee drink and taste. Mark the respective roasted beans and mix them with a small amount by hand according to a fixed proportion; you can also use a bean blending machine with a blender function to expect the best flavor of the coffee. The disadvantage is that when baking separately, in order to maintain the flavor, strict quality management is needed.

● mixes the raw beans before baking

Mix and bake all kinds of raw beans. When baking, because the aromas of different varieties are mixed together, it will reduce the characteristics of different aromas and emphasize the overall aroma. The advantage of baking raw beans at one time is that the steps are simple and easy, but the disadvantage is that the original characteristics of raw beans can not be retained.

Of course, if you have already bought several cooked beans, you can omit this step.

● blending proportion and common formula reference

The formula of mixed beans is not fixed, although it can be mixed according to individual taste, but it is necessary to master the fragrance characteristics of different kinds of beans in order to make delicious mixed beans.

Generally speaking, mixed beans are mainly mixed with 5 varieties, but for beginners, mixing less than 3 kinds first is easier to succeed, and it is better to increase the raw beans (or coffee beans) that want to emphasize the taste to more than 30%.

The golden ratio of ● matching-7:3

It is said that this is the secret recipe of a large international roasting company, as long as it is a mixture of two different coffee beans, the best flavor ratio is almost 7:3 (not if the flavor is too different). If there are three, try 7:2:1 or 6:2:2.
