Speaking of coffee, what scene do you think of: on a sunny afternoon, girlfriends gather lazily in a corner cafe? It's raining and rumbling outside. In the old coffee shop, the record player played faint piano music. Ding, Ding, Dong, Dong?

Some people are genuinely fascinated by the unique aroma of coffee, while others just enjoy the environment brought by the cafe.

After the introduction of a friend, Laomei found a store hidden in a tall office building and drank the best cup of coffee here.

Take Metro Line 2 Jiyuqiao exit A, walk 100 meters east along Heping Avenue, go up from Wanda sohu office building on the left, get off the elevator, you can smell the strong aroma of coffee.

The calligraphy and painting of "hot and dry noodles" in front of the shop makes people feel different. Hot and dry noodles are sold in the cafe.

The boss is high achiever.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the store was crowded with people. it turned out that Starbucks had a meeting at a nearby company that day, and the director of operations in Central China came here with Starbucks partners from all over the country to learn and communicate.

The owner is showing them his shop: washed rose summer at Morgan Manor, sun-dried manning espresso with passion fruit and Hawthorn fruit flavor.

Born in a family of hot and dry noodles in Wuhan, the post-80s generation grew up eating his own "cruller bag Steamed Pork Dumplings + hot and dry noodles", but now he wants to restore the real coffee culture to breakfast in Wuhan.

Jianghu people are known as "crooked". His real name is Zhang Zhen, high achiever. Two years ago, he was a university teacher, playing photography on Li Huangpi Road, which is full of literary and art coffee. He found that all kinds of novel gadgets could be drawn on the coffee. Zhang Zhen is crazy about coffee.

Later, he resigned and became a full-time coffee man.

Coffee latte pull flower

In 2015, Zhang Zhen took part in the World Barista pull Flower Art Competition (CLAC) and won the third place in China, undergraduate electronic information, master of law, photography, stock speculation. He did a lot of cross-border things and had a huge chemical reaction on him.

Zhang Zhen is now the director of Wuhan Coffee Association. Everything about coffee is self-taught, and he has done a lot of hard work to learn it.

Read books on all kinds of coffee knowledge and videos on making coffee. A few years ago, there were not many videos about making coffee, and he thought through all the videos he could find. He watched a Japanese short video of one minute and 30 seconds back and forth more than 100 times.

When he practiced drawing flowers at home, his parents thought he was obsessed.

"if you feel that what you do is right, and that it can bring happiness to yourself, and that you can bring happiness to others through it, then this thing is meaningful and it can succeed. "

Now, disciples Lili paste and Hebe can finish more than six cups of coffee in 10 minutes. Asked how many pictures they can draw on the coffee, they smiled: "I don't care what kind of pictures I draw. What I care about is that the paintings are vivid."

The hand flushing of beans from the top manors in the world

Here is the export of beans from major cafes in Wuhan, three continents of Asia, Africa and America, boutique manors, 90 + and COE, which are more popular in the market, with a wide range of beans and competition-grade coffee beans. "We provide coffee beans in 40 or 50 cafes."

A good cup of coffee consists of good raw beans, good roasting and good extraction. The taste of the coffee will be greatly reduced when something goes wrong.

After learning to pull flowers, Zhang Zhen drank countless kinds of coffee every day. Because the supply of beans was extremely unstable, Zhang Zhen began to learn to roast coffee beans. A few years ago, he only did two things every day: baking beans and practicing drawing flowers.

When the coffee is served, it is accompanied by a small card with information about the coffee beans. Only when asked did I know that a cup of coffee with an average price of 30 yuan used rosy summer, candles, blue bottles and other good coffee beans.

Bread

Bread and coffee are a pair of good friends. After Zhang Zhen began to make coffee, Zhang Zhen made bread in the shop. What kind of bread did he make? "I have been to Paris three times, and I like them very much. Why is there no such delicious bread in Wuhan? If you can't eat or drink, then make it yourself! "

At present, the store only serves two kinds of bread, namely, Kosong and soft European bread.

"either don't do it, do your best if you want to!" In order to completely restore the European bread, the bread of the bad coffee is all zero added, using imported French flour and natural yeast, and the bread will not taste very bad even if it is eaten the next day.

The daily production of 10 or 20 is basically in short supply.

"do not like to be bound" is Zhang Zhen's personality, just like in "wrong", you can have a new experience of prematurely, using coffee with a bowl of hot and dry noodles.

The popular "Zhao Shifu Hot and dry Noodle" cruller Bao Steamed Pork Dumplings was founded by Zhang Zhen's parents. Zhang Zhen also tried Kesong Bao Steamed Pork Dumplings in his own store, and all the friends who ate it screamed!

Coffee comprehensive training

I never thought I would be a barista. A university teacher is Zhang Zhen's ideal job. At that time, he graduated from the Chinese normal University, and because of his excellent grades, he stayed in school and entered the admissions office. But every day to go to work shoes, shirts, mahjong after work, pedicure entertainment, Zhang Zhen soon tired of this kind of life.

After winning awards in various national coffee competitions, some people began to look for him as a teacher to learn skills, which can be regarded as fulfilling Zhang Zhen's wish to be a teacher. To teach students the knowledge of coffee making, I use humorous language and easy-to-understand examples.

"who do you think will be more bitter if you soak the same 7g cup of tea and coffee in the same container, the same water temperature and the same amount of water for four minutes?" Irregular coffee will hold external coffee training in the store from time to time, and the teaching materials used are compiled by Zhang Zhen himself. What you learn is within the cup, but you have to extend beyond the cup before you can learn thoroughly.

It is Zhangzhen's little dream to combine coffee with Han flavor breakfast and make breakfast and coffee in Wuhan as common as soybean milk.
