Many people may know that lightly roasted Yirgacheffe has a unique lemony, floral, and honey-like sweet aroma, with soft fruit acidity and citrus notes, and a fresh, bright flavor. As more and more people fall in love with specialty coffee, they start using more single-origin coffee beans to make espresso, including the uniquely styled Yirgacheffe. So the question is, will it taste good?

On the market, you can find two types of Yirgacheffe. One is medium-light roasted Yirgacheffe, which, due to a short heating time, generally has a lighter color and a hard texture, and is mainly brewed usingpour-over, drip bags, cold brew, drip coffee machines, French presses, and other methods. Recommended are Front Street Coffee's washed Gutingding, which highlights white floral notes and honeyed sweetness, and Front Street Coffee's natural Red Cherry, which showcases tropical fruit sweetness and acidity;

the other is medium or medium-dark roasted Yirgacheffe, which has a longer heating time, a darker color, and a loose texture, and is more likely to produce oils during extraction, making it suitable for making espresso and moka pot coffee.

Using Yirgacheffe to make espresso is also called Yirgacheffe SOE. It can also become Yirgacheffe SOE Americano or Yirgacheffe SOE Latte. It not only lacks the intense taste of traditional bitter coffee, but instead has more fragrant floral notes and fruity acidity, with a very rich overall layering, making it suitable for those who are afraid of bitterness.

If you are also looking for a delicious Yirgacheffe-flavored espresso, then you must buy Front Street Coffee's natural Red Cherry SOE coffee beans. They use the traditional natural process, removing defective beans and then drying the coffee with pulp and skin under the sun for 3~4 weeks. Through these steps, the green beans will carry more fruity aroma and a slight fermented note.
