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

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. I felt a tremendous sense of security and relief that my money was back and that I had prevented what would have otherwise been a loss forever. All thanks to Web Bailiff Contractor, my nightmare turned into one of recovery. I am more than grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and peace of mind they gave me.
