Coffee Blend v's Single Origin Coffee - What is the difference?

[@lucashipkins]

Loving the content guys. I just went online and ordered some single origin, some decaf and an Aeropress go. Keep it up, great quality videos.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Thank you for the feedback and the order! 🤙🏻

[@christhefossil7098]

Excellent clear explanation, thank you

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Thanks 🙏🏻

Loving the content guys. keep up the awesome work you are doing with the coffee videos as well.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Thanks! Will do!

Very interesting Luke

Cheers 👍🏻

It would be great if maybe you could share some of the prep work on dosing, distributing amd tamping on both SOE and Blend; what to expect with a bottomless portafilter. Things like gushing espresso, thin lining flow or spraying due to channelling and how to counter it due yo inconsistency. Appreciate all the sharing so far. Keep up the good work guys!

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Thanks for the question, we have covered a little of this in our extraction defects, but not specific to s/o or blend. We will pop this into the list to cover. 🤙🏻

Nice video!

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Glad you enjoyed it

I'm an espresso lover. And I ordered single origin beans that were meant both for espresso and black coffee. Of course I only care for espresso. So far I' ve been into blend, but I want to try and taste the difference

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Some blends are great for espresso, many singles are very light roasted and can come across great in a filter brew, but a little acidic in an espresso

[@jefftaylor5370]

I am just getting into brewing. I got a bunch of beans all indicated as espresso beans. I tried brewing them in my pot and they all have a very flat, weak and uninteresting flavor. If I mix them it gets way better. So what I’ve learned is that espresso beans should only be used as single origin in espressos. They add more flavor depth in blends for normal coffee.

[@SneakyPubgm-z3u]

Give us some bleds are great for espresso please sr

[@alpesh6049]

Would you go as far as to say single origins are less suited to espresso and should be enjoyed with alternative brewing methods to bring out the best of the flavours and that for espresso you should generally stick to blends. Or are some single origins labelled as omni roasts suitable for espresso as well?

[@VB0120-u4z]

Single origins are just as good for espresso, you just don’t dark roast them. Get some anaerobic pink bourbon from La Granada farm or honey heirloom from Khalid Shifa for instance, properly mid roasted, you will get some of the best shots you ever had.

Is coffee not illegal in Australia?

Hi can I buy samples pack for my expresso machine Jolanda

[@russelldean2085]

I can understand how you sell ground blends but how do you ensure that your three/four/five different beans blend produce your desired recipe, I.e. won’t the different types of bean in different proportions due to a variety of different things, e.g. packaging; transport and even when grinding the beans at home?

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

We sell ground beans to help customers who don’t have a grinder, it’s not our desired option, always best to grind fresh at home

[@russelldean2085]

@Artisti Coffee Roasters. Sorry if my question wasn’t clear. I wanted to know how you maintained the integrity of your bean blend recipes for home grinding when the different beans comprising your blend are inevitably jumbled up through transport, packaging and home grinding, among others?

[@SK_SANOWAR_786]

Blend means mixed bean's I know, but what does meaning of single origin..??? It's name of the place from where bean's was born??? Anyone please explain me for this,

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Single origin is the one bean from one farm. You have perhaps 4 of these in a blend. Or you may have a co-operative of small farmers in a region then making a region product

[@johnnyr-518]

I like creating my own blend using single origins.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

It’s such fun exploring making blends, you never know what will work together until you drink it.

[@bacca71]

I enjoyed the explanation. It wasn't clear to me which coffee types were best for drinking espresso straight, as you implied that the purpose for your espresso blend was to cut through milk. There are some of us left who do not care for milk in our espresso; although it seems most espresso cafes design their shots for milk drinks, who make absolutely awful straight espresso shots. It's economics, I know: I've been in cafes where out of 30 customers, I was the only one to order a straight espresso (and usually it wasn't good, but there are the occasional decent shots).

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Yes straight espresso is a topic we could do a whole video on. Cafes will have a blend for milk. Unless they are a Specality shop and offer a single o, the problem with the single o is it can be too light roast and is best fir alternative brew and as an espresso it will be very acidic. Then a cafe with a dark roast blend only as en espresso it will be very bitter. For me a medium roast blend is best for espresso, smooth and balanced and is then very mild in milk. Eg: our champion blend.

[@bacca71]

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters A straight espresso video would be wonderful for those of us who drink it that way. At home (a GS3-AV user), over the years, I've found it possible to make quite delicious espresso from most SOs or blends - my own approach has been to not stick to strict brew ratios. Usually, by going slightly in the lungo direction, amazing things can happen for straight espressos. I suspect you're already aware of this - any insights greatly appreciated by drinkers of straight shots.

[@firenzeong317]

Is there such thing as water based decaf coffee?

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Yes, it’s is called Swiss water or mountain water processed. We use the Mountain water, it’s a chemical free way to extract the decaf. 👍🏻

[@박기수-d9v]

^0^~~최고!!!

[@E-ROCK0180]

Single origin - originates from a single origin. Blends are 3 to 5 types of beans blended together. OK got it

[@SK_SANOWAR_786]

U mean 3-5 types bean's mixed with a single origin packet??

[@ruiyang4974]

Some countries don’t have water…..🤪🤪🤪

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Well, enough to process lots of coffee.😂

[@kyllerkill]

I am not drink single origin and I’m drinking it either in a latte or coffee with cream and sugar. Never ever black. Gross
