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’m truly grateful to 5ISPYHAK for their professionalism and support during a very difficult time in my relationship. They provided expert guidance and digital investigation assistance that helped me uncover the truth I needed to move forward with clarity and confidence.

I was suspicious that my spouse was being unfaithful but had no concrete proof. To ensure I handled the situation ethically and responsibly, I hired a professional 5ISPYHAK to assess the security of our shared devices. HE performed a legal and transparent audit of our phones with my consent, focusing on any vulnerabilities or suspicious activities. During the process, they uncovered a series of encrypted messages and hidden apps that my spouse had been using to communicate with someone else. 5ISPYHAK provided me with detailed evidence, which allowed me to confront the situation directly and make informed decisions about my relationship. While the discovery was difficult, the ethical approach taken by the hacker ensured that everything was done within legal and moral boundaries. This clarity gave me peace of mind and helped me take the necessary steps forward in my life. CONTACT HIM VIA EMAIL 5ISPYHAK437@GMAIL.COM WHATSAPP +447551928185

HOW I FOUND OUT MY WIFE WAS CHEATING THROUGH THE HELP OF 5ISPYHAK SERVICE
I was one of many men who never thought a day would come when my wife would cheat on me. I found out when my friend and I jokingly got a hacker called 5ISPYHAK to spy on our wives’ phones. There were no signs at all of her infidelity so I was 100% sure that I wouldn’t get anything suspicious in her phone. On the other hand, my friend had doubts based on his wife’s recent behaviour. We got a cyber company called 5ISPYHAK to do the job and they immediately sent us instructions which later gave us access to the women’s phones. The shock I felt when I checked her WhatsApp and messages is hard to describe. My wife is the sweetest and most caring woman on earth and there was no way I would ever imagine her hurting me in any way. But surprisingly, she had been sleeping with our son’s coach for what seemed like months. I ambushed her and her defence was that she got lonely because I no longer give her attention and affection but the truth is that I have been occupied with work since I am the breadwinner. I somehow understand her but at the same time I feel no emotion. I love my family and I don’t want us to go through the agony of divorce but i just have to for my own peace of mind. All thanks to 5ISPYHAK for their great and swift job well done. You can reach them through EMAIL.
