How to learn to taste coffee?

Not to mention coffee history, Baidu Google, but what coffee gentleman wants to say is that people who really know how to drink coffee like espresso espresso, or pure black coffee. In fact, the reason is very simple, compared to our tea, if you have English milk tea with milk and sugar, how can you drink the purity and aroma of the original tea? Eating chocolate is the same thing. In the final analysis, drinking coffee is to drink its bitterness, because of bitterness, we can realize the sweetness of life and have a stronger sense of happiness. And when the bitterness is concentrated to the extreme, you will taste an incomparable aroma, so any act of adding sugar, milk or other sweet syrup is a crime. If you end up feeling bitter after adding so much sugar and scented syrup, it's because the coffee is crying in your cup!

So in a way, many people look down on the British taste in tea, wine and coffee, which is far less than that of France and Italy in continental Europe. As for half a cup of water and a large cup of American coffee (Caf é Americano), it is even more earthy. Of course, as a newcomer to the workplace, you still have to drink from Starbucks. You'd better keep a low profile and follow the public at the beginning of your organization. Don't have a different personality. Your boss drinks Starbucks. You must drink Blue Mountain. Do you think your boss can like you? And even if you drink Starbucks, remember what kind of coffee your boss likes, single or double (single cup / double cup of coffee), whether to add sugar, a few pieces, and whether you want milk foam (decent bosses don't add cream cream), which is especially important for newcomers to the fashion and financial industries. Remember the scene of Anna Hathaway buying Starbucks for the Devil in devil wears Prada? this is reality.

Of course, for friends who can't even afford to drink these chains, it doesn't matter. We have to drink Nestle instant coffee with temperament. Instead of holding a large cup of instant coffee in the office and talking loudly about your children or pets, you should talk about the purpose and significance of Xi Jinping's visit to the United States. it is best to put forward your own vision of national development and diplomatic means in the light of reality. It is really bad, and we should also talk about the practical significance of the recent release of "Chinese Partners" to the inspiration of the Chinese youth generation Chinese Dream. We should also criticize the idealism of the film so that everyone is passionate and eager to start a business, but at the beginning, we may find that we simply can't bear the pain.

It is precisely because not everyone can appreciate the taste of hard work, coffee will be changed out of so many flavors and production methods to meet the different needs of different grades of people.

Coffee is like man, man is like coffee. If you choose the same kind of coffee in any coffee shop, with the same amount of coffee and sugar, then congratulations, you are a person who loves and hates clearly, insists, wisely and knows himself. For girls, take your date to different coffee shops to see what kind of coffee he orders, pay attention to details, and pay attention to whether he can remember which coffee you like and how much sugar and milk he adds. If he doesn't have a fixed choice of coffee, then first of all, it shows that he doesn't have enough taste. If he chooses something different every time, he probably has the same feelings for you. If he can't remember what kind of coffee you like, it only means he has no feelings for you at all. Coffee is like a person, it has character and feelings, everyone chooses coffee differently, it is easy to see the character and character of this person. Of course, in different periods of life, the total category and taste of coffee will be different. Just like the people you like at every stage of your life, you will do different jobs. But no one can teach you which coffee is right for you. You won't know until you try it. Like the principle of choosing perfume, each perfume will emit different fragrance in everyone's exclusive aura, so don't choose this one just because everyone chooses it. The wrong choice will make you lose the opportunity to communicate before you open your mouth.

So what's the difference between different kinds of coffee? The following article "the most complete knowledge of coffee in the world" is explained in more detail.

A very vivid picture can give you a good impression:

Espresso: it is the essence of concentrated coffee. In Italy and Portugal, people are used to ordering a single cup of Espresso,3 to a small cup of five euros, slowly tasting the bitter taste and mellow flavor. It is the choice of a real man who pursues fine taste.

Latte is a classic blend of Italian espresso and milk. Italians also like lattes as breakfast drinks. In the Italian kitchen in the morning, coffee and milk are usually brewed on the sunlit stove. Italians who drink lattes like milk rather than espresso, and only espresso can bring unforgettable taste to ordinary milk. Latte is the most familiar item of Italian coffee among Chinese people. It is a fancy coffee with equal proportion or more milk added to the thick Espresso. With the warm seasoning of milk, the originally sweet and bitter coffee becomes smooth, sweet and rich, even those who are not used to drinking coffee can not compete with the fragrant taste of latte. Like cappuccino, lattes are suitable for drinking in the morning because they contain a lot of milk. Italians also like to use it to warm their stomachs for breakfast.

Italian latte (Caffe Latte) requires a small cup of Espresso and a cup of milk (150,200ml). There is more milk and less coffee in the latte, which is the same as

Cappuccino is very different. The latte is as simple as pouring nearly boiling milk into a freshly made espresso. In fact, there is no fixed rule on how much milk is added, and it can be freely mixed according to individual taste.

If you add some frothy cold milk to the hot milk, it becomes an American latte. Starbucks American lattes are made in this way, with espresso at the bottom, milk heated to 65 to 75 ℃ in the middle, and cold milk foam of no more than half a centimeter.

If you do not put hot milk, but directly decorate two tablespoons of milk foam on the Italian espresso, it becomes the Machi Hadot coffee called Espresso Macchiato by the Italians.

Caf é Au Lait can be regarded as an European latte, which is quite different from American latte and Italian latte. Ole Coffee is also very simple: pour a cup of espresso and a large cup of hot milk into a large cup at the same time, and finally put two tablespoons of whipped cream on the surface of the liquid. The biggest difference between Oulei coffee and American latte and Italian latte is that it requires milk and espresso to be injected into the cup together. Milk and coffee meet at the first time, resulting in a feeling of leisure and freedom. The French are the most enthusiastic proponents of Ole Coffee. You will see the round Orei Cup on the breakfast table in France, which is the source of their good mood for the day. Interestingly, compared with all the coffee cups, the cup used by the French to hold Ole coffee is probably the largest.

A lot of people don't understand the relationship between latte and Ole. In fact, lattes are Italian-style milk coffee, steaming milk in the way of machine steam, while Oulei is French coffee. They heat the milk over fire, and the taste is warm and smooth.

Practice: use utensils and materials: the right amount of deep-roasted coffee beans. The right amount of milk (coffee / fresh milk ratio: 1:1).

1. Soak the cup (warm cup) in hot water to raise the temperature, and then pour out the excess water for use.

two。 Grind the deep-roasted coffee beans, pour the coffee powder into the filler, flatten the coffee powder with a press stick, then buckle the filler to the espresso machine extraction port, and extract the ESPRESSO (coffee / fresh milk at 1:1).

3. Take the right amount of milk and put it under the steam nozzle of the espresso machine to steam it into hot milk.

4. Pour the steamed milk into the cup.

5. Shake the cup up and down to make the foam rise.

6. Finally, pour the ESPRESSO into the cup slowly.

Hazelnut means hazelnut coffee. French Vanilla is French vanilla. Both are lattes, but they are filled with different syrup, and the base is Espresso Ristretto 1 cup (15-20ml) + steam foam about 200ml.

Cappuccino (Gappuccino/Cappuccino Coffee): in the early 20th century, when the Italian Archebucha invented the steam pressure coffee machine, he also developed cappuccino coffee. Cappuccino is an Italian coffee mixed with the same amount of Italian espresso and steamed milk. At this time, the color of coffee is like a cappuccino monk covering a dark brown coat with a headscarf, hence the name caffeine.

The origin of cappuccino: Fanz George Kolschitsky, a Viennese, is the founder of Cafe Latte with milk and coffee. Both drinks are made from coffee and milk, but cappuccino has a more knowledgeable origin and has always been the best material for the study of character changes in Europe and the United States. The history of the word Cappuccino: founded five years later in 1525, the monks of the St. Franciscan Church (Capuchin) wore brown robes and pointed hats. When the St. Franciscan Church spread to Italy, the locals thought the monks' clothing was very special, so they gave them the name Cappuccino. The word refers to the loose robes and small pointed hats worn by monks, derived from the Italian word "headscarf" or Cappuccio. However, Old Yi loved coffee and found that when espresso, milk and milk foam were mixed, the color was like the dark brown robe worn by monks, so he came up with a drink with coffee and sharp milk bubbles, which was named Cappuccino.

Mocha coffee (MOCHA): at present, the coffee produced in Yemen is the best, followed by Ethiopia's mocha; mocha coffee belt smooth in the strong acid, sweet, unique flavor, containing chocolate flavor; with the temperament of a lady, is a very characteristic pure coffee. Because of its sweetness, it is more suitable for women. If a man you date orders a mocha, you can make fun of him.

Carbon roasted coffee (CHARCALFIRE) is a kind of heavily roasted coffee, which tastes charred, bitter without acid, and coffee beans produce oil, so it is very suitable for steam pressurized coffee.

White coffee: Malaysia is the only place where orthodox white coffee is produced. All the coffee on the market now belongs to black coffee, which is made from coffee beans roasted with caramel at high temperature, which makes the coffee taste bitter, sour, caramel and carbonized. In terms of health, it will hurt the stomach, get angry, and cause melanin precipitation and other disadvantages. White coffee is coffee beans directly roasted at low temperature without caramel, removing the scorched and sour taste of general high-temperature stir-frying and charcoal roasting, and retaining the natural flavor and rich aroma of the original coffee. No stomach damage, no heat, low caffeine, smooth taste, mellow fragrance.

Iced latte: we have to mention latte again. Use the mixture of fructose and milk to increase the specific gravity of milk, so that it will not be mixed with lighter coffee, forming two distinct layers of black and white, forming a graceful visual effect like a cocktail, plus ice cubes, giving people an elegant and romantic warm feeling.

Kangbao Blue Maggie Yaduo Coffee: Italian coffee is really "a hundred flowers bloom", and there are two flowers, Campbell Blue and Maggie Yadow. As long as you add the right amount of whipped cream to the espresso, you can easily finish a cup of Campbell blue. The fresh white cream floats gently on the deep coffee, just like a white lotus flower that comes out of the mud and is not dyed. In Italian espresso, without whipped cream and milk, only two tablespoons of soft milk foam is a cup of macchiato. Unlike Campbell Blue, if you want to enjoy the delicacy of Macchiato, you have to drink it in one sip. But it is obvious that coffee with flowers is best for people who have flowers below.

French Milk Coffee: the ratio of coffee to milk is 1:1. When the orthodox French milk coffee is brewed, the milk pot and coffee pot are filled with coffee cups from both sides at the same time. This method has been going on for hundreds of years. Today, it is still an indispensable drink on the French breakfast table. French baby, full of milk flavor!

Civet Coffee (Kopi Luwak), commonly known as Kopi Luwak: produced in Indonesia, is one of the most expensive coffee in the world. Indonesia grows a large number of coffee crops, there is a wild animal called civet, the favorite food is fresh coffee beans, coffee beans through fermentation and digestion in its body, and finally become the feces of cats. Feces are grains of coffee beans and become the most expensive feces in the world. Because the quantity is very rare, so the price is very expensive. In some places, a small cup can be sold for more than 1000 yuan.

The civet likes to choose the most ripe, sweet, juicy coffee fruit in the coffee tree as food. The coffee fruit passes through its digestive system, and only the pulp on the outside of the fruit is digested, and the hard coffee beans are then excreted intact by the civet's digestive system. This digestion process, so that coffee beans have an unparalleled magical change, the flavor tends to be unique, the taste is particularly mellow, rich and round sweet taste is also unmatched by other coffee beans.
