Can different coffee beans be mixed with each other? Coffee beans will have their own unique regional flavor because of their different origin, but they will also have different roasting methods and degrees, resulting in the need for different cooking schemes. is there any way to try the peculiar flavor of different coffee beans? Here is the answer from Qianjie Coffee.

The flavor of coffee beans will change according to the origin and the degree of roasting. We can taste it one by one, or we can mix several different kinds of coffee beans to taste a new mixed taste. When mixing coffee beans with different flavors, there are professional mixing and hobbies.

A mix of professionals

For professionals, some people mix coffee beans to highlight a certain roasted taste, while others create a coffee taste effect that individual coffee beans cannot reflect. Mixing for whatever purpose is a great test of the skills of coffee roasters.

When mixing coffee beans, professional roasters should consider the principle of mixing, the needs of customers and many other key points.

Let me give you an example: if you want to pursue taste stability, you should consider: the proportion of coffee beans from areas where the harvest is unstable; whether Colombian coffee beans with stable harvest throughout the year are set as the benchmark; whether it is necessary to ensure quality through low-temperature transportation, constant temperature storage, and so on.

In short, when professionals mix coffee beans, they need to know about raw beans (specifications, quality, price, etc.), roasted beans (taste characteristics) and so on.

A mix of amateurs

Amateurs mix coffee beans mostly for the purpose of making a certain flavor, and if you mix and roast many different kinds of coffee beans, you can produce the flavor you like. Mix two different flavors of coffee beans to create a three-dimensional flavor, which is also the charm that individual coffee beans cannot have.

Mixed coffee it is also called blended coffee, we usually put two types of coffee or more than two types of coffee, but the degree of roasting is not the same, mixed together will be called mixed coffee. Mixed coffee is the barista's recognition of the different flavors of coffee, which can make different coffee beans subsidize each other and produce mixed coffee beans with excellent flavor.

The bean mixture of coffee will be of great help to our taste. The flavor of mixed coffee beans is very stable. Coffee beans are crops. Even if the types of coffee beans are the same, the flavor of coffee changes from year to year, and several different coffee beans can be mixed together. This solves the flavor that changes from year to year.

Mixed coffee beans have a very good balanced taste, we usually do not make a single espresso, because espresso has a very special feature, it will infinitely enlarge the flavor of the most obvious coffee beans, such as when making coffee, if there is a bitter coffee bean in it, then the espresso will be bitter, and if the coffee beans are sour, they will be sour. So when we make coffee, we should put all kinds of flavors together so that we can balance them.

Mixed coffee also has a particularly good place, it will reduce the cost of making coffee, some coffee areas will inevitably be affected by natural disasters, resulting in reduced production of coffee beans, because the coffee made is a mix of coffee, so you can find a very similar coffee taste to replace this, do not have to spend high prices to buy reduced coffee beans.

To sum up, in fact, different coffee beans can also be mixed, you can simply understand the meaning of mixing different coffee together, but different coffee beans will have different flavor characteristics, different brewing parameters need, how to match, choose and balance the flavor relationship between different coffee beans, which is quite a test of the skills of bakers and baristas. And this is also difficult for amateurs to touch the difficult operation, so ah, ordinary people's words, can be mixed to drink, but do not expect too high oh ~ want a good mixed coffee beans, or to find a professional answer!
