Individual coffee is a kind of coffee produced only from a specific producing area, specific producing area and specific plantation, which can reflect the special flavor of the local culture.

It is suitable for extraction by hand flushing, normal pressure and so on.

Choose beans according to your taste preferences and mental preferences. You don't need to buy more than you know.

For beans beyond your ability, take your time, there must be a certain amount of accumulation.

At present, many items in many small cafes are light-roasted, high-priced single-item coffee.

In fact, the use of lightly roasted coffee beans is likely to make the defects of unripe or defective beans more obvious, so it is a great test of the roaster's skills. Light roasting accounts for about 40% of the global drinker market, and the reason why it is popular with coffee lovers is that light roasting retains the original beauty of coffee beans more than medium-deep roasting, especially for boutique coffee with obvious aroma and characteristics. Of course, different producing areas, different varieties due to different bean properties, suitable baking methods are also different.
