In the world of boutique coffee, it is understandable that more and more people prefer to drink single beans. Coffee roasters can use the best way to bake a bean to achieve the best flavor. In addition, when selling individual coffee, you can also introduce the growing environment of this coffee and the story about it.

However, the importance of formula beans can not be ignored, and coffee roasters can tailor their own recipes for customers, which is a test of the roaster's skills.

As for the reason for making formula beans, Qianjie Coffee believes that selling coffee beans with the same taste all the year round is the goal of bakers. after all, some customers want to drink that taste they like all year round, but unfortunately, coffee is a kind of crop. the harvest varies from season to season, so how to adjust the type and proportion of the formula is a way to make fresh and stable coffee.

Another more important reason for making formula beans is that they can create a flavor that cannot be achieved by a single coffee bean. So making recipes is like an art, not just a tool. Interestingly, you can find that the interaction of different characteristics of coffee will form a whole new flavor, not just 1: 1: 1: 2.

When different coffee is combined, the characteristics of each coffee can still be found in some recipes, and even the cup tester can tell which beans are in it, but some combinations will suppress the characteristics of other beans when one side is stronger.

Another advantage of making formula beans is that a good formula can have a long sales cycle, meaning it can satisfy the tastes of most people, and even after a decade, the formula is still popular. In addition, good formula beans should taste good whether they are used for espresso or cooked in a follicular style.

Do recipe beans use poor quality coffee beans? Of course not!

Blending coffee beans is not synonymous with poor quality and low price. In the past, the purpose of blending was often to spell out the price advantage and seize the mass market. over time, it gave rise to the biased perception that the blended coffee was all low-grade goods and the single coffee was excellent. But all this will slowly be changed. Qianjie has been in use since the sunflower sunflower and coffee beans were made in the second half of 2019. The beans are Shirley and red cherry (Yega Shirley), which have been well received by the guests. There is no doubt that this is slowly rectifying the name of the blended coffee. There is no praise or criticism for the blending of coffee, but the key depends on the purpose of the mixer.

Five steps to match a delicious espresso bean!

First, plan a process for making a recipe, and you need to think about some basic questions, such as: what kind of customer is your recipe for? Is it a home consumer, a cafe, or a multi-purpose recipe? These questions determine what flavor the recipe should have and how deep it should be baked, and the baker must know what kind of flavor he wants to bake. All these have to be decided beforehand.

Second, all kinds of coffee beans used in the formula must have their own characteristics and can perform well when they are made into individual coffee. Some coffee roasters will use poor beans in the formula and try to cover up its bad taste with baking. Personally, I think this is a thing that gets twice the result with twice the effort, and the guests will not be satisfied.

Third, determine the baking degree of each kind of beans, let the coffee beans show their own characteristics, and combine them into your recipe with their different characteristics. It is recommended to roast before mixing beans, you must try the various roasting degrees of each kind of coffee, this process is very critical, be sure to try more! It is often seen that many roasters ignore this step and decide the baking degree of each cup of coffee too early. Please remember that the best roasting degree of each coffee bean is different, and each kind of coffee tends to have more than one optimal roasting degree. In this way, countless kinds of coffee and so much roasting will turn the work of preparing the recipe into an endless nightmare.

Many coffee roasters copy some well-known recipes, but do not hesitate to bake deep enough to lose their original flavor in order to get the so-called complete caramelization. The result is a lot of black and scorched products. Through shallow roasting, you can get the original flavor, complexity, freshness and sweetness of the coffee. Encourage to try to show your recipe with a lighter baking. Here, if the use of shallow roasting must pay attention to the roaster's baking skills, automatic roaster can not bake a good shallow roasted coffee!

Fourth, you must choose the kinds of raw coffee beans you want and their respective roasting degrees. Remember, you must keep a detailed record of the raw beans, baking techniques, and recipe proportions you use. If you come up with a good recipe, you can refer to the information on the record and continue to improve it.

There are some differences in the coffee beans harvested from season to season, and it is recommended that you re-evaluate your recipe every season. The key to the process of preparing the formula is to make sure that each bean in the formula has been baked to the perfect degree. To make the perfect recipe also depends on your taste ability, even if you think you have made the best recipe, but the final judgment is in the hands of the customer.

Here are some common ways to mix Italian coffee beans:

Whether mixed or individual, as long as it can express the recognized coffee, it is a good coffee bean. But this also gives rise to a problem. Qianjie does not boast that it is a good match. If it is for the sake of matching, it will become meaningless. Therefore, from the point of view of the mixer, the coffee beans must make up for the deficiency of individual coffee beans. In this regard, Qianjie shares a few delicious coffee bean recipes.

① Mamba matching formula = 40% Indonesia manning + 60% Brazilian red bourbon Mamba matching formula is not original in Qianjie, but originated in Japan. Indonesian Manning coffee is rich in flavor, rich in nuts and chocolate, with mixed herbal flavor. The Brazilian red bourbon is thin and tasteless by comparison, with strong notes of peanuts and nuts. And the two according to 46 ratio, can well neutralize the taste of herbs and peanuts, into a clean and mellow feeling like a blue mountain.

② Honey Formula = 70% Yejafei Red Cherry + 30% Costa Rican Tara beads Yega Snow Red Cherry shows a very sweet berry flavor, plus 30% Costa Rican Tara beads increase the taste and honey sweetness. Hand-made coffee blended with Yega Chuefei as the base shows a mellow and sweetened flavor.

③ Flower and Fruit Harmony Formula = 60% Guatemala Flower God + 30% washed Yega Sheffield + 10% Kenyan AA these three coffee beans are characterized by lightness and citrus lemon notes. While the main body of Flower God Coffee adds jasmine to this blend of beans, Kenya with the scent of green tea Yega Xuefei and Little Tomato makes up for the deficiency of the remaining rhyme. It is used for hand flushing to show the light taste with equal emphasis on the smell of flowers and fruit.
