According to Starbucks in a press release, "contrary to popular thought, this light roasted espresso has just as much caffeine as its dark roasted sibling! With a lighter roast, we can still all get the usual jumpstart we need for a day of sifting through emails, managing our group texts, and nailing that presentation.
As for how it tastes, Starbucks continued, "to make Blonde Espresso, our coffee team lightly roasted Latin American and East African beans to bring out their bright, sweet citrus notes and smooth body — Blonde beverages have hints of lemon, orange and caramel. Additionally, this drink made Starbucks history. According to Starbucks, it was the first time in plus years that a new espresso was introduced to the permanent menu.
So, it was kind of a big deal. Course Drinks. Yield 1 serving. Remove portafiter and run the water through the machine grouphead to remove any leftover coffee grounds from the machine. Grind and fill portafilter with finely ground blonde roast coffee. Level and tamp filled portafilter. Clean loose ground coffee off the portafilter. Put portafilter into the grouphead and pull shots. Place cup under the portafilter.
After pulling shots of blonde espresso, remove the portafilter and flush grouphead. Blonde espresso also known as blonde espresso roast, blonde roast, and light roast is the name given to lightly roasted coffee.
Blonde espresso goes well with almond milk and vanilla syrup, which is why Starbucks makes the blonde drinks on the menu with those ingredients. Aside from espresso, use blonde espresso roast in drip coffee machines to make brewed blonde coffee for a smoother and more caffeinated cup. Whole blonde espresso coffee beans can be used in drip machines even though it says espresso. A true blonde roast is unique, however, in that it would theoretically be outside of the normally accepted taste range.
Now, you may be shocked by that because you or someone you know really enjoys something marketed as a blonde roast. Roasts like this are generally preferred by those who have a soft-spot for intense brightness coffee coffee for acidic and a lighter body. However, you should note that many elements of the typical coffee flavor profile are missing from ultra-light roasts. The buttery, caramel notes and as well as the sweeter aromatics are largely absent because they typically only develop after high-heat interacts with the sugars of the coffee.
On one hand, many people prefer the brighter flavor. On the other, high-acid coffees can present potential health concerns. Acidity directly correlates to the darkness of the roast. Lighter roasts have much higher acidities, with Half City and potentially Blonde Roasts sitting at the highest levels. As the roast darkens, the beans lose their acidity, and the darkest roasts often have a pronounced bitterness. Dark roasts, with their very mild acidity, tend to score similarly on the pH scale to milk.
Also, plain black coffee tends to be near same level as bananas. On the other hand, blonde roasts score between roasts that have unripe beans and tomato juice. The short answer is not really. Many people actively avoid high-acid coffee due to the averse health effects, instead opting for specifically low-acid coffees. Furthermore, having an overly acidic diet promotes a plethora of not-so-desirable effects on several systems of the body.
Some metabolic reactions can only be completed with a specific pH. So lowering your pH by consuming a Blonde roast as your daily brew, you might be bringing some unwanted side effects onto yourself.
Obviously, some people are more sensitive to these effects than others, but here are just a few of the things that high metabolic acidity often coincides with: fatigue, poor digestion , muscle and joint pain , various fungal infections, migraines, and some types of kidney stones.
As you may know, all coffee has some health benefits in the form of antioxidants. However, research shows that Blond Roasts could potentially have more of these benefits. Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors. Each coffee requires a unique roast profile to create a cup that is at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor.
Through a delicate balance of heat, time and artistry, our master roasters bring these unique characteristics to life. Curious to taste the difference throughout the roast spectrum for yourself?
