About Italian matching

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 advantage of using a variety of coffee beans is to ensure the stability of the coffee taste. When the quality of a certain coffee bean changes, or the output decreases, or the price increases, the roaster can choose coffee beans of similar quality to replace them without affecting the overall taste. Therefore, some famous coffee roasters will regard their blending formula as a trade secret.

There are both living and familiar ways to match.

Raw coffee refers to mixing different raw coffee beans according to the proportion in the formula and then baking.

Cooked means that different raw coffee beans are roasted separately and then mixed according to different proportions in the formula.

It is not easy to match:

When choosing mixed beans and formulating a formula, roasters need to determine the characteristics of the coffee they want to present, including the bitter and sour performance, the expectation of body, the flavor of the coffee, and whether it is produced in a milk coffee or American style, or espresso, which need to be considered when choosing raw beans, determining the roasting method, and determining the formula. Not only that, the formula will be tested, adjusted, re-tested and re-adjusted before it is finally determined.

Mixed beans can also be composed entirely of boutique coffee beans.

Mixed beans can also be composed of boutique coffee beans with different roasting degrees.

Mixed beans can also taste good.

Matching beans is not equal to deep-baked Italian beans.

● espresso made from an espresso machine can drink espresso directly or make espresso based on espresso.

● coffee beans come from the same or the same batch of sacks. Due to the post-processing and trading status of raw coffee beans, only a small number of coffee beans can confirm their true provenance.

● raw coffee beans in the same sack often contain different kinds of beans, especially those from Central and South America.

● coffee beans can be roasted and blended together by the same batch of raw beans according to different roasting methods. Strictly speaking, it is a SOE coffee bean.

● when the native flavor or variety flavor of coffee beans is easily identified, roasters tend to roast slightly to show the characteristics of coffee beans. When bakers pay more attention to taste balance and body, they will choose a more suitable baking method to improve the consumer experience.

What does SOE need to pay attention to?

Choose beans with high identification of taste as SOE

Making espresso with single-product coffee beans is nothing more than making people who like concentrated and milk coffee taste the flavor of the single-taste bean itself. if the recognition of a single-product bean is not high, and most people cannot drink the unique flavor of a single-product bean, it is better to drink a cup of coffee with a balanced taste and strong Body feeling.

Don't pursue the stability of SOE

Coffee is an agricultural product, individual coffee beans will be affected by the weather, planting and other factors, and let a kind of beans with the producing area have the difference in taste, which is also different from the pursuit of stable flavor of mixed coffee beans.

If we order the same bean SOE in the same store, but drink a little different flavor, this is very normal, there is no need to question the store's professionalism at this point.
