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 lost about $64,000 to a fake cryptocurrency trading platform a few weeks back after I got lured into the trading platform with the intent of earning a 15% profit daily trading on the platform.

Tesla and Elon Musk: Victims of Impersonation Scams
I’m still trying to process everything that’s happened. I lost my husband last year, and with two kids to raise on my own, I thought I’d found a way to secure their future. A fake Elon Musk account on X messaged me about a charity giveaway for single moms, promising 20% monthly returns on a Tesla-linked crypto investment. They had fake screenshots, videos, everything. I invested $180K, thinking it was a blessing in disguise. It wasn’t until I tried to withdraw and they asked for more money that I realized I’d been scammed. I was devastated. But then I found JetWebHackers, and they recovered every penny. I’m grateful for their help, and I hope sharing my story can prevent others from going through the same pain
