Blended coffee beans are commonly used in Italian coffee, and their strong coffee flavor has been well received by many coffee customers. Recently, the hot SOE is also in contrast to the coffee mix, so what is the advantage of the coffee mix now? Qianjie Coffee will express its views on the blending of coffee in this article. What is mixed coffee? Blended coffee, also known as mixed coffee, is to mix a variety of individual coffee beans together, so as to give full play to the strengths of various individual coffee beans, blended beans from different areas of coffee beans mixed to make a more balanced taste. For example, if one kind of coffee bean is slippery but lacks aroma, another kind of coffee with rich aroma can be added to make the advantages of individual coffee beans complement each other, complement or strengthen each other in taste, thus creating a richer new taste of coffee. Blended coffee is divided into raw coffee and cooked coffee, which refers to mixing coffee from different places before baking. Cooking refers to mixing the roasted coffee beans separately.

Which tastes better, SOE or mixed coffee? Maybe some guests don't understand why they want to put the coffee beans together. Isn't single coffee the best? In fact, from Qianjie's point of view, each bean has its own advantages and disadvantages. Maybe the coffee liquid oil extracted from this bean through the Italian coffee machine is not enough. Then you can add oil-rich coffee beans to complement each other: if the espresso extracted from this bean is too sour, too bitter, and too sweet, you can find a complementary one to match each other to achieve the desired coffee flavor. That's perfect. Whether it is premixed raw beans (raw), or baked separately and then mixed (cooked). Both methods are acceptable depending on the nature of the coffee in the formula. Mixing after baking provides different degrees of baking for each bean so that each ingredient shows the best effect. We often like to compare the flavor of espresso with that of SOE, but it's not very fair. Very simple, Italian coffee is made with a purpose, there are many purposes, can be roughly divided into three kinds. 1. Reduce the cost some cafes will use poor quality coffee beans mixed with better quality coffee beans, reduce costs and improve sales benefits at the same time. 2. to create a long-term and stable flavor, we have to admit that coffee is a kind of agricultural product, which will produce different flavors in different seasons or even different batches in a year in the same producing area, and the disadvantages of a single producing area will be exposed. you can't be confident that you'll still be able to drink coffee from a single producing area that tastes good next year (except for coffee beans with a dominant coffee flavor. And other factors from the origin to the cafe can also cause the coffee beans you buy to taste different from those in the past. So one of the purposes of blending is to create a product that can be supplied for a long time and has a stable flavor for a long time. When the quality of one of the coffee beans can not meet the requirements or changes in the new production season, we can find similar coffee beans to replace, in order to achieve the goal of stability.

3. Creating a flavor that cannot be produced by a single coffee bean sometimes a single-origin coffee bean is like a person, with both strengths and weaknesses, while matching is like organizing a team to take their strengths to make up for each other's weaknesses, so as to complement each other. Just like using a sweeter coffee bean with a higher acidity coffee bean to achieve a sour-sweet balance, or adding some Brazilian beans to the coffee bean to increase the overall mellow thickness, these are the purpose of blending. These purposes represent the trend of the flavor of blended coffee. For example, to reduce costs, it is impossible to use better quality coffee beans, and there is no need to delve into their flavor. Qianjie Coffee believes that in order to create a flavor that cannot be produced by a single coffee bean or to use a coffee bean made of high-quality and unique coffee beans at any cost, if properly formulated, it is not a big problem to be superior to SOE. Therefore, the focus of blending coffee still depends on its blending purpose and unit price. We can't compare a 50-yuan-a-pound blend of coffee with a 100-pound SOE. Now the Italian coffee drink on the front street is made with sunflowers. This one is made of red cherry coffee from Honduras, Shirley and Esseyega Chefe. Through the continuous blending of baristas on the front street, a more perfect blending ratio is obtained at 7:3. The espresso is made with obvious acidity, berry aroma and wine aroma, and a pleasant finish. Its flavor Qianjie confidently believes that it is completely comparable to SOE.

Espresso can also produce single coffee. If you use beans from a single origin, the coffee can be referred to as SOE coffee for short. The coffee made in this way can taste the most basic flavor of the producing area. In the view of Qianjie, the characteristics of Italian coffee can magnify the advantages of a certain type of coffee beans, cover up its own shortcomings, and make full use of each type of coffee beans. Of course, it is not that the more coffee you mix, the better the flavor. The more coffee beans you put, the more you will not consider every detail. In addition, the flavor will be more messy. So, from the point of view of Qianjie, it is enough to limit the types of mixed beans to two or four kinds of coffee beans. How would you like your espresso? Some Chinese people like these Italian beans will choose to drink in the form of espresso, which is usually used as a base to add milk or water to make lattes or American coffee.

The extraction scheme of espresso is to use sunflower warm sun to mix coffee beans, 20g coffee powder to extract 40g espresso in 26 seconds. Hot latte: the proportion used in front street is 40g espresso with 240g steamed milk.

Hot American Coffee: the proportion used in the front street is 40g espresso with 200g hot water.
