How to choose hand-made coffee beans and Italian coffee beans? What are the taste characteristics of soe coffee beans?

Recently, some friends also want to think about making coffee by themselves. I went to the Internet and then asked Qianjie. The prices of coffee beans on the Internet are some 30 yuan or more than 300 yuan. Weight also has 100g, some 1kg, there are many nouns that do not understand but think this is very powerful, see a confused. So I came to ask Qianjie how to distinguish coffee beans.

Generally speaking, there are mainly two types of Italian coffee beans and individual coffee beans on the market. First of all, let's talk about individual coffee beans, that is, what we often call "boutique coffee beans". The main feature is the coffee that shows the characteristic flavor of the producing area. So it can be divided into many different places of coffee beans, generally this type of coffee beans will be marked with detailed origin information. The packing specification is generally no more than 250g and can be applied to all kinds of follicle extraction methods, the most common of which is hand-brewed coffee.

For coffee beans of this type, there are more than 50 kinds of beans on the front street. If you plan to use hand-made, American-style drip filter, French pressure kettle, Philharmonic pressure, siphon pot, cold extract and other follicular types, you can choose individual coffee beans. at the beginning, you can start with the flavor description on the label and choose which flavor you like. Another kind of coffee bean is the Italian coffee bean, which is specially for the Italian coffee machine. Its biggest feature is that the roasting degree is deeper than the coffee beans used for hand-brewing, so the general single-product coffee beans are not suitable for Italian coffee machines.

Of course, the word Italian coffee beans does not conflict with single beans. Italian coffee beans are mainly divided into blended beans and soe. First of all, soe, this is actually the Italian coffee version of the single product coffee beans, as mentioned earlier, the general single product beans are not suitable for Italian machines, so there are soe coffee beans (raw beans are the same, but the roasting degree is deeper than ordinary single beans). Soe also pays attention to the producing areas and the special flavor of the producing areas. But at present, the market for soe coffee beans is still relatively small, if you want to buy, you should recognize the soe logo or espresso logo to avoid mistakenly buying hand-made single beans. The next step is spaghetti beans, which are also commonly used in espresso. Why mix them? There are three reasons, price, stability and flavor. These three points are an "impossible triangle", which means that you can't have all three, and you can only give up one for two. If you have a friend who wants to open a coffee shop or an Italian pit, take a look at how to choose the right beans. Taking the four Italian coffee beans in the former street as an example, the purpose of blending coffee beans was to stabilize the flavor of coffee at first, just as the boutique coffee beans in front street were made from Colombia and Brazil. Brazil and Colombia are both big coffee producers, and the quality is very stable every year. In addition, the balance of Brazilian coffee beans and the mellowness of Colombian coffee beans give this bean a good performance. Priority is both stability and flavor, mellow taste and nutty notes with slightly fruity flavor, suitable for use in boutique coffee shops. Qianjie's basic blending beans are developed based on performance-to-price ratio, which is made from Yunnan and Brazilian coffee beans to ensure the flavor and stability of the extracted espresso on the premise of price advantage. This Italian coffee bean is suitable for personal consumption of daily rations or low-cost coffee shops.

The commercial beans on Qianjie are made from coffee beans from Colombia, Brazil and Vietnam, of which Vietnam is Robusta, accounting for 10%. Italian cafes like to add Luodou to their bean recipes because Robusta provides richer coffee fat and higher caffeine content. So adding a small amount of robusta beans can make the espresso taste more mellow. The espresso made with milk will have a stronger caramel chocolate flavor. This Italian coffee bean is suitable for lovers of mellow thickness or some merchants who specialize in espresso. The last one is developed based on flavor, and it is also the coffee bean used by Qianjie store-sunflower sunflower with coffee beans. It is made from red cherries of Yega Shirley and Honduran sherry buckets of coffee beans. With the aroma of sherry, chocolate, vanilla cream and sherry flavor, whether concentrated itself, or to make American coffee, milk coffee taste is excellent. It is suitable for friends who pursue the flavor of coffee.

To put it simply, the selection of Italian coffee beans mainly depends on their own positioning needs, choose coffee beans with high performance-to-price ratio, or more balanced, or with distinctive flavor.
