Italian Coffee you don't know (3)

From the standard of espresso coffee to the evaluation of espresso coffee

Should a cup of espresso be 40-45 ml or 25-30 ml? Everyone argued for a long time without any result. But if you look at it from another angle, the problem is easier to understand. That is the quality of the blended coffee beans.

The quality of coffee beans, this is another controversial issue, what kind of blend of coffee beans is good?

Blended coffee, pure Arabica coffee blend, single origin Arabica coffee beans, which is the best blend of Italian coffee beans? Perhaps there is no best, only the most suitable for their own taste. Of course it is, but what most people like best is the blend that Italians have always insisted on, which contains part of the roaster coffee. In addition to the rich taste, there is also a heavy taste. This is something that ordinary coffee does not have, and it is something that low-quality blended coffee beans do not have.

Arabica coffee has a light and soft taste, which is a fatal weakness for the rich espresso flavor characteristics. Therefore, when blending Italian coffee without a part of roaster coffee, its taste is difficult to have strong characteristics, let alone have a heavy taste. This is clearly seen in the various coffee beans available.

Many people mistakenly think that Italians add roaster coffee to espresso to reduce costs, but this is not the case.

We can compare coffee beans that can be seen on the market. Most of them may taste very weak if they are made according to the standard of 40-45 ml. If made according to the standard of 25-30 ml, the taste may be better. No matter what standard is used, the taste will not be thick. This is the processing characteristic of these coffee beans, which is difficult to change.

Italian coffee is spelt, not roasted.

This is a famous saying. Because of this, most new coffee blending plants fail to blend real espresso beans. If the coffee is made into 40-45 ml according to the above standard, you can immediately see the quality of the coffee beans.

So the problem is not the standard of preparation, but the quality of the coffee. Only 40-45 ml of coffee can truly reflect the quality of the coffee blend.
