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!)

My €770K Liberty Invested Scam Story – How BitReclaim Got My €750K Back
Review:
🚨 SCAM ALERT: Liberty Invested Limited (CFD.libertyinvestedlimitedltd.com) is a Ponzi scheme. They pressured me into depositing €770K, then blocked withdrawals. Their “advisor” Sofía even sent a Bankinter loan link to push me deeper.
HOW I RECOVERED:
✅ Hired BitReclaim (blockchain forensics)
✅ Traced funds to leveraged wallets
✅ Recovered €750K into my Exodus wallet
If you’re scammed, ACT FAST—these fraudsters disappear quickly.
When my partner and I recently relocated to New Zealand, we were excited to start this new chapter of our lives. As a professional photographer, I was particularly eager to explore the country and capture its stunning landscapes. To make my photography sessions even more special, I decided to purchase a luxury car that I could use as both a means of transport and a prop for my photography projects. After some research, we found what seemed like a perfect offer from a local dealership called Luxury Rides NZ, which was selling used luxury cars. We paid NZD 20,000, which was meant to be the deposit for the car, with plans to pay the remaining balance when the deal was finalized.However, when we arrived to complete the purchase and pick up the car, we were met with disappointment. There was no car waiting for us, and Luxury Rides NZ had completely disappeared. The website we had booked through was no longer accessible, and the contact details provided were fake. We had been scammed. Losing NZD 20,000, which was a significant amount for us, was not just financially devastating, but it also disrupted my photography plans, as I had specifically intended to use the car in some upcoming sessions.As a photographer, having access to unique props and settings is essential for creating striking images. I had envisioned using the luxury car as the centerpiece for a series of outdoor shoots, but without it, I was left with a sense of frustration and uncertainty. The whole situation seemed to put a wrench in my carefully planned projects, and it felt like everything was falling apart.Thankfully, we found help through PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION.

The stress and anxiety that came with the legal battle left me feeling overwhelmed, and I was desperate for a solution.

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.
