So how does FrontStreet Coffee blend espresso beans?

FrontStreet Coffee's Specialty Espresso Blend

Colombia: Brazil, ratio 3:7, 100% Arabica

Flavor characteristics: Comfortable bitter-sweet taste, extremely smooth entry; with a faint grassy fragrance, light and slightly bitter; sweet and smooth, with a refreshing aftertaste; using medium-dark roast, when making espresso, it will have soft, slight acidity, clear sweetness, and nutty aftertaste. The overall feeling is not too stimulating, balanced, with moderate crema, suitable for daily café production.

FrontStreet Coffee's Commercial Espresso Blend

Colombia: Brazil: Robusta; ratio 3:6:1

In terms of single bean flavor, commercial beans' coffee taste is much inferior to specialty coffee beans. Generally, commercial beans are chosen for blending, and after blending, they can also produce very good-tasting coffee, suitable for making lattes, cappuccinos, and other espresso-based drinks. FrontStreet Coffee's commercial blend for Espresso, because it contains Robusta beans, will have richer crema, classic taste, with caramel sweetness, nutty and cocoa flavors, dark chocolate notes, balanced sweet and sour, slightly bitter, with a long-lasting aftertaste, meeting daily shop operation needs.

FrontStreet Coffee's Basic Espresso Blend

Yunnan AA: Brazil; ratio 3:7

With soft fruit acidity, caramel sweetness, nutty and dark chocolate flavors, smooth and viscous, but with a relatively light taste, suitable for shop and home users who prioritize cost considerations and have moderate flavor requirements.

Actually, adding Robusta beans to some espresso blend formulas can bring more caffeine, better crema, and taste balance. FrontStreet Coffee's commercial blend containing Robusta beans and FrontStreet Coffee's specialty blend with 100% Arabica actually contain less than 10% Robusta. If used for milk coffee, there's basically no significant difference in taste, but the overall crema of the coffee will be greatly improved.
