FrontStreet Coffee · Introduction to the Difference Between Single-Origin Coffee Beans and Espresso Coffee Beans

Traditional single-origin generally has two interpretations: coffee beans from a single producing region and coffee beans from a single variety. Most single-origin coffees are from a single producing region (origin), because generally the same estate often grows various varieties mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish them, especially in Africa. Single variety is something that only high-end estates can achieve, and the price is correspondingly higher. Therefore, single-origin more often refers to a single producing region.

Italians invented the steam pressure extraction machine. The concentrated coffee made by a steam pressure coffee machine is espresso. With espresso as the base, combined with milk, milk foam, chocolate, ice cream, and various other combinations, the resulting fancy or creative coffees are all called espresso coffee. The core keywords are espresso machine, espresso (espresso).
