Introduction to the blending of Italian Coffee which coffee varieties are more suitable for blending

In 1870, Joel, a grocery store salesman from Kentucky and the founder of Maxwell, felt that the coffee did not meet his requirements, so he began to try to mix different coffee beans. When he came up with a taste to his satisfaction, he took it to the prestigious Maxwell Hotel in Tennessee. This is a hotel with the traditional characteristics of hospitality in the American South. Before long, Joel's coffee, with its unique flavor, became the most popular product at the Maxwell Hotel, and the coffee roaster here became the largest in the United States. As a result, the Maxwell Hotel gave its elegant and unique name to Joel's coffee.

Highlighting the good flavor and eliminating the bad things will also be the purpose of blending, want a more balanced cup of coffee, want a cup of acidity, strong mellow thickness and great plum fruit aroma and great fat? That matching must be a shortcut, for commercial operation, such a unit cost is high and it is difficult to find.

Another theory is to mix different coffees according to their performance in cups with different roasting degrees. Matching according to different baking degrees is carried out under such understanding and understanding. But it also has a high requirement for the blender to accumulate the knowledge of baking, and the roasting technology needs to be skillful in order to make a good comprehensive coffee.

Both theories have their own reasons, but they also have their own limitations. The first one stubbornly divides coffee into different types, but ignores the performance of coffee flavor under different roasting degrees, while the second does not consider that each kind of coffee has its own most suitable roasting degree to achieve its own characteristics.

Blending is not a simple addition and subtraction. Blending requires baristas to have a correct understanding of the characteristics of each kind of coffee and the best flavor performance at which degree of roasting. On this basis, after continuous matching experiments, we can slowly find out the most suitable matching formula. But it should be said that there is no fixed rule on what proportion of A coffee must be mixed with what proportion of B coffee and C coffee is the best mixed coffee.
