Best brew method?

Its hard to suggested which extractions are best for different coffees because like most consumables it always comes down to preference. But if we had to generalize things it would go something like this - 

Single Origins are most often best for filter coffees, pour over and can even make an awesome espresso if your into unique and bright flavors! 

Blends are honest and can be versatile when it comes to different extraction methods. Great for people who enjoy switching up their methods.

Espresso blends are designed especially for espresso, building layered flavors with just the right amount of acidity and that sweet chocolatey finish.
