Are espresso blends only for espresso?

G'day Coffee Lover!

Espresso blends are primarily designed to be used for making espresso shots, as they are roasted and blended to create the right balance of flavours and aromas for espresso. However, they can also be used for other brewing methods, such as drip coffee or French press. Using an espresso blend for other brewing methods can result in a different taste from what you would get with a specific coffee blend for that particular brewing method. For instance, drip coffee brewing method may produce a less strong and less flavourful cup of coffee than an espresso shot, but it is still possible to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee with an espresso blend.

When it comes to brewing methods, there are many factors that come into play such as the type of coffee, the grind size, the temperature of the water, and the brewing time. Adjusting these variables can help produce a cup of coffee that suits your taste buds. For instance, if you prefer a stronger cup of coffee, you may want to use a finer grind size and increase the brewing time. Alternatively, if you prefer a milder cup of coffee, you may want to use a coarser grind size and decrease the brewing time.
