Single Origin Coffee vs. Coffee Blends | What's the Difference?

SINGLE ORIGIN COFFEE VS. COFFEE BLENDS | WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Single origin coffee and coffee blends are two different approaches to coffee roasting and brewing, each with its own benefits and flavor profiles.

WHAT IS SINGLE ORIGIN COFFEE?

Single origin coffee refers to coffee beans that are sourced from a single region, estate, or farm, and are roasted and brewed as a single varietal. Single origin coffee allows you to taste the unique flavor profile of the coffee beans from a particular origin, and can showcase the nuances of that specific terroir, altitude, and soil conditions. Single origin coffee is often associated with specialty coffee and may be more expensive due to the limited availability and higher quality of the beans.

WHAT IS A COFFEE BLEND?

Coffee blends, on the other hand, are made by combining beans from different origins, often with different roast levels, to create a balanced and consistent flavor profile. Coffee blends can be designed to achieve a specific flavor profile or to maintain consistency across different batches.

Fun surprise and great coffee!

I love my usual coffee from Press - Early Edition. However, getting the Roaster’s Choice as a second bag and mixing it up is perfect! Coffee was great and my house guests loved it too!

smooth flavor

we love this coffee! it's great for a daily driver espresso.

Sumatra

Correctly roasted and true espresso grind.
Not burnt and ruined by over roasting.

Reliably good consitent standout

This roast is really one of the best from Press, and reliably so over time. Lots of flavor, mild, smooth, delicious. I brew it at home with a Kalita or Chemex pour over. Never disappointed.

Delicious organic coffee!

I’ve been waiting for press to come out with an organic cofffee for a while! Wow, this surpasses all of my expectations. Perfect roast, and the tasting notes are spot on.

Favorite Coffee!

Love this medium roast coffee as my daily go-to. Thank you Press!
