What is Espresso Blend Coffee?

An espresso blend coffee is a mix of two or more coffees from different types, countries, roast levels, or processing methods. A good espresso blend balances acidity, sweetness, and body to withstand high pressure and temperature. Specialty roasters enhance these blends by using a mix of Arabica and Robusta beans or selecting 100% Arabica beans from various origins.

The main difference between an espresso blend and single-origin coffee is that single-origin coffee comes from one specific region, farm, or cooperative, showcasing unique regional flavors. In contrast, espresso blends combine beans from multiple origins to achieve consistency, depth, and balance, especially suited for pressure brewing. Brazilian coffee provides chocolate, body, and nuttiness, while Colombian coffee offers sweetness and acidity. Indian or Indonesian coffee serves as an affordable alternative for similar depth.

Colipse’s Espresso Blend is a medium-dark roast made from beans grown on the volcanic slopes of Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The high-altitude environment enhances their rich, complex flavors. Handpicked and carefully processed, these beans reveal notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, caramel, red berries, and nutmeg. For the best experience of its aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel, brew using hot or cold immersion or pressurized methods like Aeropress, Espresso, or Moka Pot.

Is Espresso Blend Coffee the Same as Espresso?

Espresso blend coffee is not the same as espresso. An espresso blend refers to a mix of coffee beans roasted to suit espresso brewing, while espresso is the concentrated coffee drink made by forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee under pressure.

You can use espresso blends for regular drip coffee. While espresso blends are roasted to emphasize bold flavors for espresso, they can also be brewed using other methods like drip coffee, French press, or cold brew, producing a strong and full-bodied cup.

Does Espresso Blend Have More Caffeine?

No, espresso blends do not necessarily have more caffeine. The caffeine content depends on factors like the type of beans used—Arabica or Robusta—and the brewing method. While espresso shots are more concentrated, a cup of drip coffee typically contains more caffeine due to a larger serving size.

How To Choose the Best Espresso Blend?

To choose the best espresso blend, opt in for medium to dark roasts, as they offer consistent flavor and balance. Medium to dark roasts are more forgiving than lighter ones, which can taste overly bright and acidic in espresso. These roasts enhance sweetness, body, and smoothness, making them ideal for straight shots or milk-based drinks.

At Colipse, our ideal espresso blend ratio consists of 30% bright beans (like high-grown Tanzanian N39), 40% base beans (such as Ethiopia Harrar), and 30% beans that provide body (like SL28).
