In the field of coffee, SOE coffee is a single-origin espresso. To expand this abbreviation, it is Single Origin Espresso, and the direct opposite is Espresso Blend, which refers to Italian spelling beans.

SOE Coffee Revolutionary Taste region and its characteristics

The full name of the acronym SOE, Single Origin Espresso, can be called single coffee bean espresso, in which Single Origin means coffee beans from a single farm, while Espresso means to turn a single manor coffee bean into an espresso.

Qianjie Coffee believes that in the past, espresso came from the traditional Italian concept of blending, showing the best balance after mixing different beans, with smooth comfort and stable performance before and after the entrance. 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.

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.

Not all individual coffee beans can make good espresso.

SOE is not equal to fine coffee, SOE is not equal to good taste, SOE is not equal to high quality mixed beans, and SOE is not equal to shallow roasting and concentration. Qianjie Coffee noticed that many friends know SOE like hand-made coffee, and the flavor of lightly roasted coffee beans will be richer and more layered.

But espresso is a very different way of extraction from hand-brewed coffee. The production of espresso is pressurized, high temperature and rapid extraction of extremely high concentration of coffee liquid, coffee flavor, taste will be very concentrated.

On the other hand, the flavor substance of hand-brewed coffee is extracted by natural gravity and high-temperature water flow through coffee particles. After a large proportion of dilution, the flavor of coffee can have a better space to show itself.

If you use light roasted beans to make SOE coffee, it is possible that the sour taste will show a sharp taste, but also because the short baking time can not form more flavor substances, resulting in a thin taste of the coffee. Therefore, to make SOE coffee, Qianjie Coffee recommends using medium-deep roasted beans.

Brazilian SOE individual coffee bean recommendation

To make Brazilian SOE coffee, Qianjie Coffee is recommended to use yellow bourbon beans grown at an altitude of 1400-1950m from Queen's Manor in the province of Morgiana, Brazil. After the deep roasting of Qianjie coffee, the acidity of yellow bourbon coffee beans is balanced and supple, and the sweetness is obvious, with roasted nuts, dark chocolate, peanut cream smooth and sugar sweet.

After being extracted into espresso, it can show the black aroma of nuts, the smoothness of peanut cream and the finish of caramel.
