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 a tech entrepreneur based in Stockholm, Sweden. While developing an AI-powered fitness app, I came across HyperVerse and its promises of astronomical returns. Despite some initial doubts, I invested $106,000 worth of USDT, hoping to create a financial cushion for my startup. Unfortunately, HyperVerse turned out to be a Ponzi scheme, and I was left in a difficult financial position. Determined to recover my losses, I found AstraWeb Cyber Service, a trusted team specializing in crypto recovery. Their expertise and transparent approach gave me renewed hope. They walked me through the entire process, using advanced blockchain analysis to trace and recover my USDT. Thanks to AstraWeb’s dedication and professionalism, I was able to recover my funds and secure the future of my startup. I highly recommend AstraWeb to anyone in need of reliable crypto recovery support. You can reach them: Astraweb@cyberdude.com

I want to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Wizard James Recovery Company for helping me get my $143,000 worth of stolen cryptocurrency back.

Their skilled work and outstanding service have absolutely impressed me. Before I went to them with my issues and gave them all the information I needed, I never imagined that I would be able to receive my money back.

HIRE CRYPTO PANDEMIC HUNTER FOR ONLINE SPOUSE INVESTIGATION
Trust is hard to find these days. I didn’t suspect anything wrong between my ex and our nanny, thinking it was just her being good at her job. I initially hired a private investigator for money issues, feeling he was hiding something, and turned to Crypt0 Pandemic Hunter to find hidden expenses. I was not ready for the truth.

The report from Crypt0 Pandemic Hunter revealed not just financial issues but also secrets between him and the nanny, Flora, including extra payments and flirtatious conversations. This betrayal was heartbreaking and painful. It was difficult moment, especially moving on and kids but I had to make a bold decision. I hope others choose the right partner.
