If you often search for coffee-related content, you should find such a recommendation post, which roughly reads: "SOE and Dirty are a perfect match. "Yesterday, a friend who scrolled it and asked Qianjie why SOE and Dirty were a perfect match. Speaking of SOE and Dirty, Qian Street believes that everyone is no longer unfamiliar to them. SOE is the abbreviation of Single Origin Espresso, which translates to espresso made from coffee beans from a single origin; while Dirty refers to an Italian milk coffee made from concentrate and milk with obvious layers. If we ingest it in large gulps while tasting it, we can taste the double contrast in taste and temperature between milk and concentrate. Since the first thing we come into contact with is espresso coffee, we will first feel the strong taste and warmth of espresso coffee, and then the opposite sweetness and coldness of milk, with very rich layers.

The reason why people often say that they are very compatible is precisely because they are coincidentally and have some "professional counterparts."

Why do people say that SOE and Dirty are a perfect match? Front Street has explained to you that SOE is espresso made from coffee beans from a single origin. Coffee beans from a single origin specifically refer to coffee beans from the same origin. Compared with blending coffee beans, the main feature of coffee made with coffee beans from a single origin is that it can well show the flavor of a production area. After all, there is no influence from coffee beans from other production areas. So if we want to experience the flavor characteristics of a region, then single-product coffee and SOE will be a good choice.

The characteristic of Dirty is that concentrate and milk are semi-separated and not completely integrated together. Therefore, Dirty does not need to consider the compatibility of coffee and milk after fusion like lattes, cappuccino and other milk coffees. It will be more "malleable" than regular coffee; not only that, because the taste and temperature of coffee and milk are diametrically opposite, coffee and milk can also play a role in setting off each other. So when we use SOE when making Dirty, we don't have to worry about whether the baking degree of the beans is too light and whether the taste will be abrupt from that of milk. At the same time, the sweetness of milk can highlight the characteristics of coffee and make the flavor of coffee more prominent.

Therefore, compared with other dairy coffees, Dirty not only can not worry about the use of coffee beans, but also can better amplify the characteristics of SOE. Dirty also has a completely different performance because of the addition of SOE. So this is why people often say that SOE and Dirty are a perfect match. If you want to try Dirty made with SOE, then the following single beans are highly recommended to try ~ Qianjie Yejia Shefei Fruit Dingding: First of all, Qianjie Yejia Shefei Fruit Dingding. Recently, Qianjie has often shared this coffee bean, which is really good. The SOE made with it will taste a little more sour, and then the flavor will be fresher. When making into milk coffee such as lattes and cappuccino, it will easily be concealed by the taste of milk. But if it is Dirty, then because milk and coffee are separated, the flavor of coffee can be well highlighted.

The parameters used in Qianjie are 20g of powder, a powder-to-liquid ratio of 1:2, an extraction time of 30 seconds, and 160ml of milk. The Dirty made in this way takes a big gulp. The first thing we taste is the fresh and obvious aroma of lemon, white flowers and berries from the front street yega snow fruit tintin. It will be a little sour, but it will be immediately covered by the sweetness and cold of milk. Covered and blended to get a new taste and taste, very good ~

Front Street Boundary Estate Xizhao: The second is Front Street Boundary Estate Xizhao. The Dirty made with it is really good. Of course, not only Dirty, but also other coffees. The parameters are the same as those of fruit tintin. Both are extracted with 20g of powder to extract 40ml of coffee liquor, the extraction time is 30 seconds, and then the milk is 160ml.

The Dirty entrance made from Chinese claw can clearly taste the unique and rich aroma of Chinese claw such as grapes, passion fruits, chocolate, and apricot peaches. Due to the moderate degree of baking, the acidity will not be very high. Then, after the milk enters the mouth, it mixes with the concentrate quickly, forming a flavor similar to grape milk, which is very good. Front Street PWN Gold Mantelin: Although it is said that Dirty is made without worrying about the compatibility of coffee and milk, there are always some friends who don't like to drink sour food. So at times like this, the Qianjie PWN Gold Mantelin in the Qianjie Bean List will be a good single item choice.

Front Street PWN Golden Mantinin is a deep-roasted coffee bean. It has a strong burnt aroma. The extracted coffee is almost unsour and is very balanced. The flavor is rich in chocolate, spices, pine, nuts, butter, and the sweetness is strong and long-lasting. The Dirty made with it will have a very sharp contrast and is super delicious. It is very suitable for friends who do not like acid ~
