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

I promised Great Odunga to always post his testimony and I really want to say “Thank You” to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Great Odunga to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it when he told me he would give me the numbers and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream coming into reality. I had won $768.4M. Thank you Great Odunga.

Contacting a recovery agent would probably be more of a lame joke to me than an advice a couple of months back before I made a slip and lost $590,300 in the sad process unfortunately. All options came down to contacting a recovery agent and I did. I got details about GENUINE HACKERS from my long hours of surfing the web. I saw a post about him on reddit and I decided to give it a shot since I didn’t have any other option and nothing more to lose at this point. I immediately contacted him and that’s the best decision I’ve made. I would have lost all my retirement benefits to these fraudsters. He got the money back swiftly, it was barely a challenge to him. His work is top notch and I’ll recommend him to everyone, I have introduced a couple of my other friends to him too. you can contact him on GENUINEHACKERS000@GMAIL.COM or WhatsApp +1 (260) 218-3592.

I have been involved in cryptocurrency for several years. Over time, I built a substantial investment of $490,000 in Bitcoin, securely saved in a wallet that I backed up regularly. Everything was going smoothly until I decided to switch devices and restore my wallet. To my shock, I discovered that the backup file was corrupt. In an instant, it felt as though I was on the brink of losing everything I had worked so hard for. It was a nightmare scenario that left me feeling utterly helpless. I frantically tried every recovery method I could think of, but nothing worked. Each failed attempt deepened the sinking feeling in my stomach. Just when I was about to lose hope, I turned to the internet for solutions and stumbled upon CryptocyberNet Retrieval.
