If we say

As the friends of coffee rookies, did they get a bit of a hoop when they heard about the blending of coffee for the first time? what the heck is mixing coffee? In fact, the coffee we usually drink is blended coffee, which is made by mixing several coffee beans of different varieties, different producing areas or different roasting degrees, so that a cup of blended coffee is completed. To tell you a little secret, blended coffee tastes better than individual coffee.

What is mixed coffee?

Blended coffee is relative to individual coffee.

Single coffee refers to coffee beans of a single variety, single origin, or single roasting degree; blended coffee refers to coffee beans of different varieties, different producing areas, or different roasting degrees, which are generally composed of 2 or 5 kinds of coffee beans according to a certain need.

Why do you want to match?

There are generally four purposes for matching.

Cost reduction: in order to pursue a certain flavor, some low-priced coffee beans are used to prepare the flavor of some relatively high-priced coffee beans. Such as: blue Mountain flavor coffee.

Balanced taste: the espresso machine has a feature that magnifies the most significant flavor of coffee beans, so it is almost impossible to use a single variety of coffee beans to make espresso, otherwise if that coffee bean is bitter, the espresso made will be extremely bitter and sour. Therefore, it needs to be matched to balance all kinds of flavors.

Stable flavor: because coffee beans are a kind of crop, the flavor of coffee beans in the same producing area will be different from year to year, so mixing several kinds of coffee beans can solve this problem very well. can keep the flavor basically the same every year.

Unique flavor: for those who drink any kind of coffee can not satisfy their taste, or some businesses, in order to have their own unique flavor of coffee beans, will mix several kinds of coffee beans.

Can mixed coffee be used for hand brewing?

Hand brewing is just one way we make coffee, it has no specific requirements for coffee beans.

Usually we use individual coffee to taste the flavor of the coffee of origin, and some well-matched coffee beans can also show its unique flavor by hand.

Which do you prefer, mixed coffee or single coffee?

There is no difference between good and bad, only which one you like better.

The price is not absolutely expensive or cheap, although the matching is sometimes to reduce the cost, but some of the beans used with coffee beans are not cheap, at the same time condensed a lot of painstaking efforts of the roaster, but also won everyone's praise, so the price is not cheaper than some individual coffee.
