Know what is the difference between mixed beans and single beans, and even sprinkle dog food.

In some cafes, there is an option, SOE. SOE is concentrated in a single place of origin, formerly known as Single Origin Espresso. Many boutique cafes give the illusion that individual coffee beans are better than Italian coffee beans. Some friends came to the shop of Qianjie Coffee to taste the flavor of espresso in a single producing area, but learned that Qianjie did not produce SOE.

As we all know, each single hand-brewed coffee bean has its own unique flavor. For example, coffee beans in Africa are famous for their rising citrus and berry aromas. These hand-brewed coffee beans from Africa will have the right flavor after being carefully roasted and boiled with the right parameters.

Before you want to know about SOE, Qianjie needs to explain to your friends how to make espresso. When watching baristas in cafes produce milk coffee, they often see such scenes: quickly fill the powder bowl with powder, cloth powder, fill it, brew it, and then have an Italian concentrated base.

This involves a number of factors, using a very fine grinding degree to grind the coffee beans into coffee powder, then fill the powder bowl, buckle the cooking head, and turn on the brewing switch. The espresso machine squeezes near-boiling hot water through the tight coffee pressed powder at a high pressure of 9 Pa, and the thick coffee liquid drips out.

As long as the extraction parameters are within the appropriate range, the coffee liquid obtained in this way, of course, will extract all the ideal water-soluble substances in coffee beans into the espresso liquid. However, because the flavor is too concentrated, most people will choose to dilute it with milk, water and so on.

Individual coffee beans refer to coffee beans of a single producing area and variety. With the third wave of boutique coffee, more and more cafes are offering individual coffee. The emergence of individual coffee, the most important thing is to trace the origin of coffee beans (Traceability), so that coffee lovers know that this kind of high-quality coffee comes from which unique producing area or manor, or even coffee bean varieties, and these individual coffee beans have highly identifiable flavors of origin, producing areas and beans. It is precisely because of the third wave of coffee, pay attention to the pursuit of coffee knowledge, such as brewing methods, flavor, etc., making individual coffee more popular. Single bean is generally suitable for hand flushing, ice drop, cold extract.

As mentioned earlier, the characteristic of individual coffee beans is that they can show a unique flavor in the producing area, just like the sour berries in Kenya. If they are used to make SOE, they will maximize both the good flavor and the bad flavor, and the espresso made from Kenyan beans may also have an unpleasant sharp taste.

While the Qianjie individual coffee beans are set to be used for making hand-brewed coffee when baking, in order to better let the partners experience the beauty of the producing area, when the partners want to taste Italian espresso in Qianjie, Qianjie stores will not produce SOE, and it is not recommended to use Qianjie's hand-brewed coffee beans as SOE coffee beans, but to use sunflower warm Yang style mixed beans.

The so-called blended beans, also known as mixed beans, is to mix all kinds of individual coffee beans together, so as to give full play to the strengths of various individual coffee beans, and at the same time cover up part of the defective flavor. Comprehensive blended beans are made from coffee beans from different areas to make a more balanced taste. For example, if a kind of coffee bean tastes soft and lacks mellow feeling, you can add another kind of full-bodied beans to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, complement or strengthen the taste of individual coffee beans, thus creating a richer new taste of a kind of coffee. Sometimes the beans are mixed first and then baked, which is called roasting; sometimes they are roasted and then mixed with coffee beans, which is called cooked.

Whether it's hard work or familiarity. Before matching beans, we should first know the flavor of different varieties of coffee in the world, and beans have different characteristics according to their origin. Different coffee beans have different personalities because of different varieties and producing areas, and there are subtle differences in sour, bitter, sweet, fragrant, mellow thickness and other flavors. In order to make a better mix of beans, the baker should not only know the characteristics of coffee beans like the back of his hand, but also master the superb baking technology, so it is difficult to make a good mix of beans.

General espresso beans are mostly used in espresso, such as Espresso, Americano, Latte or Cappuccino, etc., the taste of coffee is more balanced, more palatable, more stable, it can be said that the taste is more popular.

In the front street store, you can experience a unique, whisky-scented matching beans-sunflower sunflower mixed beans. This Italian coffee bean is made of two kinds of single beans, which can be made either by hand or by hand. The Italian style tastes like chocolate; the single product tastes like chocolate; the single product tastes sour and bright, long-lasting and long-lasting.
