There are many factors that determine whether a cup of coffee tastes good or not. SOE only refers to espresso made from individual coffee beans, which are not necessarily better than those used for blending coffee.

Single coffee beans refer to coffee beans from a single producing area. For example, this bag of beans are all grown from the same aa district in a province. As long as they are planted on the road in the same area, they are coffee beans from a single producing area. While a bag of beans are all from the same province, but there are beans in the aa region + bb region, then they are mixed with coffee beans.

But coffee beans grown in the same area are not necessarily good to be extracted from espresso. Espresso is loved and needed by so many people because it has high stability and can maintain a balanced, mellow, strong and full coffee flavor for a long time.

As a crop, coffee is affected by the climate and soil of the producing area every year, and there are certain differences in quality and flavor. At the same time, espresso is a pressurized, high-temperature extracted coffee solution with high concentration. Espresso is prone to unpleasant taste and experience as long as there is a slight lack of coffee quality or a reasonable explanation in the roasting process.

SOE stands for single-origin espresso, although it is not necessarily equivalent to fine coffee, but if you select single-origin coffee beans with easy to identify flavor as SOE, you can produce a typical espresso with unique flavor.

For example, Yega's typical citrus flavor, Kenyan with fruit flavor, etc., coupled with espresso will amplify the taste of coffee, so the specific flavor will be more prominent than hand-made, but will also magnify the sour taste.

In the past experimental comparison of Qianjie Coffee, it is found that the espresso extracted from lightly roasted coffee beans will be more acidic and prone to sharp taste. Make American coffee with water / a pair of milk to make latte, the overall taste will lack mellow thickness, appear thin water feeling.

However, although SOE is outstanding, its shortcomings are relatively easy to be magnified because it comes from a single place of origin, so factors such as roasting and particle size will affect the flavor, so it is not necessarily better to drink than coffee.

Therefore, the quality of coffee beans, freshness, roasting, coffee machine, cooking process, personal taste preferences, and so on, will have a great impact on the performance and quality of coffee, so what kind of coffee tastes good, can not be generalized ~ salted fish and cabbage, each has its own preference.

Making espresso with individual coffee beans is nothing more than making people who like concentrated and milk coffee taste the flavor of the single bean itself. If the recognition of a single bean is not high, and most people can not drink the unique flavor of a single bean, it will lose the meaning of SOE.

If it is produced by a coffee shop, Qianjie Coffee still recommends regular coffee beans as the default option, which can further stabilize the product quality, reduce costs, and have pricing that is more suitable for mass consumers. Then, after the store is on track, according to the taste needs of the major customer groups, decide whether to add the option of SOE, and what individual coffee beans to use to make SOE.
