Because many friends have planned to make Combo at home recently, Qianjie often receives recommendations from friends who want Combo to use beans.

The so-called Combo is one of the most popular forms of coffee shop production. It refers to the form of making several cups of different coffees from one coffee bean and then combining them to produce them. This kind of product not only allows guests to enjoy different methods of the same coffee bean, but also because the cup size is small and does not impose a big burden on the tasters, so it naturally becomes popular.

Although all coffee beans can be used to make Combo, which is only a form of production after all, whether it can be made or whether it tastes good or not are two different things. In the final analysis, it is because of bean compatibility issues. What does it mean? Take the common Combo, for example, which is usually a combination of a latte and an American cup, but most beans are not "compatible" with the two. For example, beans A taste good to make American coffee, but are not suitable for making lattes; or beans C are very fragrant, strong and mellow to make lattes, but are extremely bitter to make American coffee.

There are many examples of this kind, so you can know that not all beans are suitable for Combo's products, and this is why some friends want to recommend them on the street. What beans are suitable for making Combo?

If it is used for Combo production, Qianjie will recommend that you give priority to moderately roasted coffee beans that are not too deep or too shallow. Because this degree of roasting coffee beans will have a higher degree of compatibility than the two "extremes" of light roasting or deep roasting! The degree of roasting of coffee beans affects the taste of coffee. When the beans are roasted more lightly, the more acidic the coffee will be, because more acidic substances are retained; vice versa. The deeper the roasting is, the more bitter the coffee is, because the acid in the coffee is decomposed by long-term roasting, and then the roasting aroma produced by roasting will cover the sour expression.

Beans that are too sour and bitter are not suitable for use in Combo production. As Qian Jie said earlier, their compatibility is not that high. Coffee that is too sour cannot be well integrated with milk, and the taste will be obviously abrupt; coffee that is too bitter is not suitable for making American coffee. After all, not everyone can accept the bitterness of coffee. Therefore, moderately roasted coffee beans are very suitable! It won't be too sour, it won't be too bitter, it tastes balanced, and it can be balanced whether it's American or latte. The shortcoming may be that the characteristics are not as distinctive as the first two. Each has its own advantages, so everyone can choose according to your own preferences. In addition to the degree of roasting, the best flavor of the coffee beans used to make Combo should also be prominent. There is nothing to say about this, because the coffee made from coffee beans with outstanding flavor will have more distinctive characteristics. Because of this, many coffee shops will give priority to coffee beans with outstanding flavors for making Combo, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Combo is a performance of a certain coffee bean. The above are the recommendations for making Combo coffee beans. If you still don't know how to choose after reading it, it doesn't matter. You can try the coffee beans shared by Qianjie below. They are all popular beans from Combo produced by coffee shops. The Combo made with them is really very good ~

Front Street Ethiopian Flower Kui: Front Street Ethiopian Flower Kui should not introduce too much on Front Street. It has always been a very common and very popular bean in coffee shops. Not only does it have excellent flavor performance, but it also has excellent value for money, so many coffee shops use Qianjie Ethiopian Flower Kui to produce Combo or regular Italian coffee.

The Qianjie Ethiopian flower kui in the Qianjie Coffee Taobao Tmall flagship store has two roasting degrees. If you like fruit acid and want to make a Combo with berry, citrus, and tea aroma, you can choose medium and light baking; and if you don't want too sour, you want coffee beans with a balanced taste and meet the above requirements of Qianjie, you can choose the moderately roasted flower kui ~

Front Street Demarcation Line Xizhao: Since 2022, a competitor used the Xizhao from the Demarcation Line Manor to win the championship, this manor and the Xizhao variety have quickly become the "popular fried chicken" in the coffee industry! I have to say that there is a reason why this bean won the championship! The flavor is really excellent, and Qianjie likes the flavor of this coffee very much.

The coffee made with the front street boundary line Xizhao will have excellent flavors such as grapes, passion fruits, apricot peaches, and floral flowers. Due to the medium baking, the coffee produced will not taste very sour and will be relatively balanced., with outstanding sweetness, coupled with the excellent flavor, it is very delicious whether it is American or latte! It is a "Tianxuan Coffee Bean" that is very suitable for Combo to make!

Front Street Strawberry Sugar espresso: Front Street Strawberry Sugar espresso is the same as Xizhao. It also has an excellent flavor and is a coffee bean suitable for Combo. The only difference is that the flavor of the Qianjie strawberry sugar rose summer mix will be relatively thicker, similar to the flavor of strawberry fudge, white flower fragrance, and nuts. The overall taste will be more mellow and the aroma will be more prominent.

So the above is all the content shared by Qianjie this time. Generally speaking, it depends on personal taste preferences."What kind of Combo do you want? "Find suitable beans according to your own ideas, so that you will naturally find the most suitable coffee beans for making Combo for yourself ~
