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

A Life-Changing Experience, Dr Kachi A Testimony of Gratitude
I would like to share an extraordinary experience that has transformed my life. I came across a remarkable testimony online forum about a powerful and renowned spell caster, Dr. Kachi. At the time, I was skeptical because I had never encountered anything related to magic or spell casting before. However, the story of Dr. Kachi’s work resonated with me, and I decided to give it a chance. For years, my family and I struggled financially, and despite my best efforts, I never had luck winning the lottery. I loved playing, but winning seemed impossible. Everything changed when I connected with Dr. Kachi, who provided me with a winning lottery number through a powerful spell. In just 24 hours, I was able to play the lottery and won the Lotto 6/49 prize, a remarkable $68 million cash prize, on September 27th in the Gold Ball Draw. This incredible win has completely changed my life and the financial well-being of my entire family. After 10 years of trying unsuccessfully, I am now living my dream life. I am beyond grateful to Dr. Kachi for his assistance, Dr. Kachi has truly been a blessing to me and my loved ones. I encourage anyone who is interested to reach out to Dr. Kachi for guidance. his website https://drkachispellcaster.wixsite.com/my-site or email drkachispellcast@gmail.com. Also reach him text or call +1 (209) 893-8075.Thank you once again, Dr. Kachi, for making my dreams come true.
TRUSTED COMPANY TO ASSIST YOU IN RECOVERING YOUR STOLEN CRYPTO WITH WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTORI am Irine Smith and I am based in Melbourne. I once had a nightmare experience a few months ago that frightens many people in the crypto space: I lost control of my $60,000 wallet following a malware attack. The hacker possessed my private keys, and I was unable to access my money. Panic set in the moment I realized the severity of the situation. As with anyone in my position, I was totally lost. But a friend of mine suggested Web Bailiff Contractor, and it was the best decision I ever made. As soon as I called Web Bailiff Contractor, I felt at ease. Their staff were professional, empathetic, and just incredibly reassuring. They understood how significant this was to me, and they took the situation in hand straight away. What I was most impressed by was their honesty and openness. They did not promise everything and then give false expectation but, instead, explained the process step by step. They took the time to tell me what had become of my wallet, how they would proceed to get it back, and the chances of success. Every step of the way through the recovery process, I was informed and guided. Their professionals worked, using their higher-level expertise and experience to deal with the nuances of my case. Obviously, they were not doing it by the book—they were tailoring the effort to get me the optimal result. They did not hurry the process, which comforted me in the wake of the delicate nature of cryptocurrency transactions. To my surprise, within a matter of days of reaching out to them, my wallet was completely recovered. I couldn’t believe it—I could now access my money.
