What is the difference between Italian coffee beans and American latte beans? Which is suitable for making espresso?

There are often friends who buy coffee beans for making Italian style at Qianjie stores. Whether they are ordinary coffee lovers or friends who are preparing to open a store or even have already opened a store, everyone will always make the same request: "Please introduce a coffee bean that is most suitable for making Italian style."

As Qianjie introduced in a previous coffee bean sharing, all coffee beans can be used to make espresso, but which one is the most suitable depends on your needs. Because the coffee extracted from different coffee beans has different characteristics, some have rich fruit sour aroma, some have a strong roasting aroma, some have a very mellow taste, and some extracted oil will be very rich. Then the problem comes! What kind of coffee do you want? Not sour? Not bitter? Rich in fat? Or is it full of taste? Depending on different needs, the most suitable coffee beans will vary. So today, Qianjie will come to share which coffee beans are most suitable for making espresso under different needs!

1. Italian coffee beans that are not sour, have a mellow taste, and are suitable for making lattes/lattes. Many friends have requirements for Italian beans. As mentioned above, the coffee you want to make is not sour and has a mellow taste., and then suitable for making lattes/lattes. So if we want to find coffee beans that meet these conditions, we only need to choose medium and deep roasted coffee beans.

Because when the coffee beans are roasted deeper, the less sour substances there will be in the coffee beans, and the more roasted aroma, the fuller the coffee will taste. Then because there is more carbon dioxide, the coffee oil extracted from beans of this roasting level will be richer, making it very suitable for use in coffee pulling. In particular, medium-to-deep roasted Italian blended beans are more suitable for the production of espresso than single items, because they were born specifically for the production of Italian style, whether it is the base of the blended coffee beans or The degree of roasting is a more suitable choice for the production of Italian coffee.

In addition to being "specially customized", their prices will also be relatively friendly to the people, and "large quantities and sufficient" can be said to be extremely cost-effective! So if you want coffee beans that can make coffee that meets the above requirements, then medium-deep and deep-roasted Italian blended coffee beans will be a good choice. In Qianjie Coffee's Tmall and Taobao flagship stores, you can see many blended beans specially developed for espresso. For example, Qianjie Classic Mix is an Italian Mix that meets the above requirements! It is made from coffee beans from three producing areas: Indonesia, Brazil and Vietnam. It is a medium to deep roasting level. The espresso extracted with it will not only have a strong aroma of chocolate, hazelnut and caramel, but also have a very rich fat and full taste. It is not sour, and then has a long aftertaste. It is very suitable for latte/lava. The production of espresso.

Or the basic blending of Qianjie, which is made of Brazilian and Yunnan coffee beans. It also uses medium and deep roasting. The espresso extracted with it has a very full taste and a soft taste. You can obviously drink nuts, butter, and caramel flavor. It is also very suitable for making lattes/lavas and espresso. At the same time, because of its excellent cost performance, it has become the first choice for many friends who shop stores.

2. Coffee beans that taste sweet and sour, have outstanding flavor, are fresh and smooth, and are suitable for making American-style coffee. If the Italian style you make is mainly American coffee, and then you like to have a fruity flavor and a little sour, and then the taste is relatively clean., then you can choose medium and light roasted coffee beans to make it. Because lighter roasting can retain more of the sour substances of the coffee, and the aroma of the coffee itself will not be concealed by too deep roasting, when making espresso with moderate and lightly roasted coffee beans, we can get a cup of American coffee with the above advantages.

However, it will be difficult to make delicious lattes and espresso from these beans, because more sour substances are retained in coffee, so the espresso and lattes produced can easily appear sharp or abrupt sour. If we want to use these beans to make concentrated or creamy coffee with balanced taste and no sudden sour taste, we need to adjust the parameters to make the coffee extraction rate slightly higher, so that there will be enough sweetness and bitterness to balance the sour taste. Make a good espresso. There are many beans that meet these conditions in the Qianjie bean list, such as Qianjie Essi Huakui. The American coffee made from it lightly baked in the sun will have rich aroma, giving strawberry, citrus, guava sweetness, and a faint floral aroma.

Or Qianjie Yejia Shefei Guodin in Qianjie Bean List. The coffee made from it lightly baked in washing will have elegant white floral fragrance, fresh lemon, and clean green tea finish. The overall taste is light and smooth, with a long and full finish, which is very good. It is worth mentioning that since this type of coffee beans are relatively shallow, the oil we extract will not be too rich and will be thinner. This is a normal phenomenon, not because the coffee beans are not fresh or of poor quality. relationship~

3. Coffee beans with outstanding flavor, neither too sour nor too bitter, and more versatile. Some friends also pursue a special flavor from espresso, and then use it to make American or lattes. Coffee beans with a good flavor. There are also many coffee beans that meet this requirement. We can give priority to medium and lightly roasted coffee beans, and anaerobic coffee beans are the best. Medium-light roasting can properly retain the acid of coffee, but not too much. Moreover, the coffee beans are fully developed during the roasting process, so the coffee produced will have a higher sweetness and will not be too sour. It will not be too bitter. Then most of the anaerobically treated coffee beans undergo deeper fermentation, so they develop a stronger aroma after roasting. With the combination of these two characteristics, the espresso made from anaerobically treated, medium and shallow roasted coffee beans has a strong and unique aroma, and the taste is not too sour or too bitter. It is widely used~

There are also many beans that meet this condition in the Qianjie bean list, such as the oft-mentioned Qianjie Boundary Manor·Xizhao! The coffee made by it, which is lightly baked and twice anaerobic, will have strong excellent aromas such as grapes, apricots, passion fruits, and white flowers. It has a balanced taste, a full and solid taste, and a long finish. Whether it is made into American or latte, it is very delicious~
