"This coffee is too bitter, I can't drink it." If you've ever felt this way, it might not be that you dislike coffee—you just haven't found the right flavor yet.

Traditional espresso beans mostly take the rich, intense route, with bitterness and roast character as the main notes. But Front Street Coffee Strawberry Candy Coffee Beans take a different path: fruity espresso. Its espresso smells like strawberry gummy candy—bright, sweet, and tangy—making it very friendly to those who fear bitterness.

What Are Fruity Espresso Beans?

Fruity espresso beans follow a different approach from traditional blends. Traditional blends rely on dark roasting to bring out caramel and chocolate notes; the Strawberry Candy blend, by contrast, uses light-to-medium roasting to preserve the original fruit flavors of the growing regions, then blends them so the flavors of different regions complement each other, presenting a complex berry sweetness.

It doesn't rely on added flavorings—purely on the natural flavors of Arabica beans—to recreate a vivid strawberry gummy candy aroma. Just smelling the beans lifts your mood.

Why Is It Less Bitter?

The sweetness and fruity acidity of Strawberry Candy Coffee Beans do a great job of balancing out the bitterness. What you taste is a sweet-and-tangy fruity profile, not the "bitter medicine soup" impression you might expect.

Made into a latte or Dirty, the strawberry-like sweetness mingles with the richness of milk, creating wonderful layers.

A Wide Range of Applications

For everyday home drinking, it works well for milk coffee, Americano, and cold brew. Make a latte in the morning, pull a shot over ice in the afternoon, and steep a cold brew in the fridge at night—one bag of beans covers multiple ways of drinking.

For cafés and commercial use, it's also easy to produce a distinctive, differentiated milk coffee. A latte with strawberry aroma easily becomes a memorable signature in a heavily homogenized market.

Brewing Suggestions

For espresso extraction, we recommend 18g of grounds, an extraction time of 25–28 seconds, and about 36–40g of liquid. Because the roast level is on the lighter side, you can grind slightly coarser than a traditional dark-roast blend to avoid over-extraction and astringency.

For cold brew, use a 1:12 coffee-to-water ratio and steep in the refrigerator for 10–12 hours. The resulting cold brew has a pronounced berry sweetness—just add ice and drink, and it's perfectly refreshing.
