Front Street Coffee Italian Coffee Bean Blending

First, plan a recipe process, which requires thinking about some basic questions, such as: What kind of customer is your recipe for? Home consumers, coffee shops, or a multi-purpose formula? These questions determine what flavor to have in the recipe and how deep to bake. The baker must know what flavor he wants to bake. All this has to be decided beforehand.

Second, the various coffee beans used in the formula must have its own characteristics, and they can be made into single coffee and perform well. Some coffee roasters will use inferior beans in their recipes and try to disguise their bad taste with roasting, which Front Street Coffee thinks is a waste of time and customers will not be satisfied.

Third, determine the roasting level of each bean, let the coffee beans express their own characteristics, and use their different characteristics to combine into your recipe.

Effect of Italian Coffee Bean Roasting on Milk Coffee

In reality, milk coffee is our most popular product, so the impact of Italian coffee beans on foam persistence is very important. It couldn't be that the milk coffee was already blurred in front of the customers.

Coffee's effect on the persistence of milk foam is mainly reflected in the destruction of protein structure in milk by acidic substances in coffee. Protein is one of the most important substances that milk foam can form. Coffee bean acidity was positively correlated with foam persistence. The more acid, the shorter the foam maintenance time; the less acid, the longer the foam maintenance time.

Of course, the roasting, grinding, powder amount, water temperature, extraction speed, extraction amount, etc. of coffee have an impact on the final bitterness of Italian coffee. Front Street Coffee believes that as a qualified barista, grinding and extraction should be the most basic homework, the most difficult to control is the roasting of coffee beans, because not every cafe is roasting coffee beans by itself. Front Street Coffee has started from coffee planting and coffee roasting since 2013, and then to the coffee production at the back. Choose to know coffee first from roasting. As mentioned above, in order to control the final production of coffee, Front Street Coffee is not easy to walk on this road, but still do not forget the initial heart. We should present the best coffee and the story behind this cup of coffee to everyone.

And then again, roasting has a far greater impact on a cup of coffee than grinding and extraction.

Coffee roasting requires a roaster not only to have basic roasting skills, but also to be familiar with the roasting machinery and equipment, and to be familiar with how to increase, highlight, reduce, or remove certain aspects of flavor performance without changing the roasting degree. And arbitrarily for each type or each batch of coffee beans taste, flavor, details and other aspects of the characteristics and performance of optimization and detail adjustment.

Roasting refers to how dark (light or dark) the final color of the coffee beans is and how long it takes (fast or slow). In principle, the advantages of medium and small fire to prolong baking time are better beans and lower sour taste, higher body and sweet and bitter taste; the disadvantage is improper treatment, easy to smoke and bitter taste.

On the contrary, the quick baking of medium fire has the advantages of sour fragrance and high sourness, full of bright movement; the disadvantage is that the sour taste is heavier, the bean color is not uniform, and black focus often appears, increasing the bitterness.

Of course, there is a third way: slow, slow and fast mixed baking. The goal is to achieve a relatively flat, balanced, rounded taste of coffee. This roasting method results in a flat, round coffee with balanced sweetness and proper body, without bright acidity and strong flavors.
