In this episode, Kenneth and Stefan Tribble compare single origin coffee to blended coffee. They explain what both terms mean. Then, talk through the differences between them. They also discuss the pros and cons of each option.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is a place for both blended and single origin coffee in most people's lives.
• Blending coffee enables you to balance out sweetness, acidity, and other elements to produce a more predictable cup.
• You can blend before or after the roast. The pros and cons of both approaches are discussed, in detail.
• The darker beans are roasted, the closer they come to each other taste-wise, regardless of the single origin bean used.
• Single origins may not mean all of the beans come from the same farm.
• At the end of the day, if the coffee tastes good to you it doesn't really matter if it is blended or single origin.

BEST MOMENTS‘Single origins can have a lot of uniqueness to them. ´‘Single origins can be unpredictable… especially if you are trying to have a consistent product across multiple growing seasons.’‘Most origins have one harvest season.’
