SOE is the abbreviation of "Single Origin Espresso", which means espresso from a single origin in Chinese. The popular point is to replace the "blended coffee beans" commonly used to make espresso with "single product (single producing area-coffee beans"), but still use an espresso machine to make a cup of espresso under high pressure.

We all know that espresso is used as the base for daily espresso (such as latte / American), so the flavor and taste of espresso itself directly affects whether the whole cup of coffee tastes good or not.

In order to enable espresso to show a balanced and mellow coffee flavor in a high-temperature and pressurized environment, most coffee shops are made of mixed coffee beans; but in recent years, it has been found that espresso made from single beans has gradually become a popular trend, which is the SOE that Qianjie Coffee would like to talk to you about.

Does single espresso have to be better than mixed espresso?

Not necessarily! There are many factors that determine whether a cup of coffee tastes good or not, such as the variety and quality of coffee beans, roasting, coffee maker, production process, personal taste preferences and so on. Salted fish and cabbage have their own preferences, so the taste to determine the SOE must be better than the combination of concentrated taste, in fact, is very one-sided.

SOE only refers to espresso made from individual coffee beans, the coffee beans used are not necessarily better than those used in blended coffee, and several other factors also have a great impact on the quality of coffee, so you can't generalize what kind of coffee tastes good.

Blending coffee beans pursues stability, while single coffee beans pursue flavor.

Coffee is an agricultural product, and a single producing area will be affected by the weather, planting and other factors, which will make a bean with the same producing area different in taste. In order to solve the problem that coffee beans in a single producing area can not have stable quality and flavor for a long time, it is necessary to use more than two different coffee beans in different producing areas according to the flavor characteristics of coffee beans in different producing areas, in different proportions and in the way of learning from each other to make the flavor of a coffee bean stable for a long time. At the same time, the price will be much cheaper than coffee beans that directly use a single producing area.

The use of single-product coffee beans to extract espresso is the pursuit of espresso and tender to show a unique flavor in the producing area to meet everyone's pursuit of the unique flavor of coffee beans. But the real boutique coffee, the emphasis is professional and stable, the latter is the drawback of SOE.

Therefore, if it is produced by a coffee shop, Qianjie Coffee is recommended to use mixed coffee beans to make espresso by default, and then add the option of SOE to give customers one more choice.

SOE coffee bean recommendation

Making espresso with individual coffee beans is nothing more than making people who like concentrated and milk coffee taste the taste of the single bean itself, but it usually lacks the taste. If the recognition of a single bean is not high, and most people can't drink the unique flavor of a single bean, it would be better to drink a cup of coffee with a balanced taste and strong Body.

Qianjie Coffee one by one from the Essex plus Sheffield Fruit Ding Cooperative washed coffee beans, the hands have a clear aroma of flowers and fruits, bright, rising acidity, clean and clear. And the production of SOE has a strong fruit acid, back to the sweet feeling is obvious, but the lack of alcohol thickness, like drinking tea.

For example, Qianjie Coffee comes from Costa Rican musicians' Mozart raisin honey treated coffee beans, with obvious aroma of preserved fruit on the right, full, soft acidity and clean fragrance. The SOE has a strong raisin aroma, medium mellow thickness, smooth but slightly thin taste.

Recommendation of Italian concentrated coffee beans

The most important feature of espresso is that it is full-bodied and mellow, and the coffee flavor is still obvious after blending with milk / water and other ingredients, so Qianjie coffee people use freshly roasted beans that are medium and deep roasted.

Qianjie Coffee currently has four Italian coffee beans with different prices, three of which use well-balanced Brazilian coffee beans with a strong nutty flavor as the main tone of the coffee. All coffee beans ordered by the shops on the Qianjie coffee line are issued within 5 days after the baking is completed.
