The Trouble with Single Origin Espresso
Single varietal espresso is sometimes good, but it is not always the best way to present a coffee or enjoy an espresso. I prefer an espresso in which the acidity and brightness are balanced by a depth of body often not found in light roast single origin offerings.
And while this is true when drinking a double shot of espresso straight, it can become more important as part of a latte drink, where light roasts can lack a boldness or backbone to shine through the milk.
Roasting a good espresso to be balanced and subtle at the same time is not necessarily a one-bean-fits-all proposition.
When it comes to roasting coffee beans for espresso, my philosophy is balance. The issue with many single origin espressos is that they are not roasted to be balanced, but to be extraordinary in some way. They succeed in being tart and tangy, but are left without enough body to balance out the bright notes of the coffee.
If I were to use a beer analogy, its like a pale ale that is a little hoppy but drinks smoothly, versus one that is really hoppy and sharp on the palate. That's the kind of flavor difference we are talking about with espresso too.
While I do have a few single origin coffees that make an excellent espresso shot (the Organic Ethiopia Natural Hambela, for example) usually that's a secondary consideration for me, and a bonus of the varietal! Most of the time, I roast coffee for coffee and espresso for espresso. My espresso roast profiles are formulated specifically for an espresso extraction. The result is a balanced yet nuanced cup.
If you enjoy espresso, try one of our blends especially roasted to bring out the best in your brew:
Trianon Espresso (Classic cafe favorite since 1985!)
Organic Espresso
Decaf Espresso

Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to share my husband’s remarkable journey! Two years ago, he was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) at Patton State Hospital in California. It was shocking news, and the doctors informed us there was no cure. They gave us medications to help manage symptoms, but after a year and two months, his condition started to decline, leaving us desperate for alternatives.
Two months ago, I discovered an amazing article about a herbal healing center in Africa that offers incredible herbal remedies for various ailments, including ALS! Filled with hope, I reached out to the herbal doctor via email to order the ALS herbal remedy. To our joy, we received it in just six days!
My husband started using the remedy immediately, consistently taking the ALS herb tea, healing oil, and applying the herbal cream prepared by Doc Yare three times a day for three weeks. And guess what? It worked wonders! His slurred speech has vanished, he can eat without a G-tube, and he walks freely without any support. He is completely healed! We’re overjoyed and sharing our story everywhere!
If you or someone you know is struggling with ALS, MND, MS, MSA, FSHD, Aphasia, or Stroke, I wholeheartedly encourage you to contact Doc Yare! His expertise in God’s life-saving herbs is truly extraordinary—he is a true blessing! You can reach him at dryareherbalcurehome@gmail.com or call or WhatsApp him at +2348164653711.
