Since it's a blend, it naturally refers to a combination of coffee beans from two or more origins, but beans of the same type roasted to different degrees can also be blended together. Therefore, the "types" in a blend no longer refer narrowly to varietal combinations, but broadly extend to coffee's flavor. Blends generally use 2 to 6 kinds of coffee beans; too many kinds will make it impossible to express coffee's distinctive flavor.


Although some standout single-origin coffees can be enjoyed directly as single-origin coffee, most coffees have more or less flaws in flavor—for example, no distinctive flavor, insufficient depth, not enough strength, or some taste that is too intense. To make up for these shortcomings, several coffee beans with different characteristics are combined to create a harmonious, deep flavor, which is also more conducive to high-temperature, high-pressure espresso extraction.


For making espresso at home, determining the freshness and flavor preferences of the blended coffee beans is the most critical;

In fact, Mamba is a combination of Indonesian Mandheling beans plus Brazilian coffee beans; the flavors complement and harmonize with each other. Mamba blends were very popular in early coffee shops in Taiwan and can be considered an old-school coffee flavor. Front Street Classic Espresso Blend adds Robusta to the Mamba recipe, fully enhancing the coffee's crema and making the espresso's body stronger. It is suitable for home preparation and for latte art.


2. If you want to make espresso with obvious fruity notes, choose "Front Street Strawberry Candy Espresso Blend."

This is a blend based on two major origins: Front Street Costa Rica Tarrazu, known for honey processing, and Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. On this basis, Colombian coffee beans are added, so the espresso that can be created is not only not harsh, but under extraction by the coffee machine, it carries good crema and a dense texture, while also having a sweet-and-sour taste like strawberry gummy candy.


3. If you want to make espresso with a rich nutty note, choose "Front Street Specialty Espresso Blend."
