I don't know when I began to learn to drink coffee, maybe after work, coffee became a necessity on my desk. I didn't like it so much at first, because I felt very bitter, even after adding milk. I still feel very astringent. I don't understand why so many people like to drink this bitter and tasteless thing, but slowly feel the good coffee brings. In particular, the aroma emitted by the coffee beans themselves is haunting.

Once I had a wonderful colleague who had a cup of iced American coffee every day. Once I couldn't help asking her, "aren't you bitter to drink this?" She thought for a moment and told me, "what I drink is not coffee, but life." Yes, there are three hardships in life, no matter how bitter it is, can it be more bitter than coffee? However, it is precisely because of this that a sip of bitter coffee makes life sweet! Maybe that's why many people fall in love with coffee!

Many people are willing to drink coffee, but only stay in the arms of Father Xing. At best, it is just a fast-paced drink. Really good coffee contains many processes and the hard work of countless people. First of all, people have to get the seeds in the coffee fruit and carry out the processing of "coffee beans". This process we call selection, do not underestimate the selection of this process, it will remove the peel from the pulp. After that, classify the size of the coffee beans and pick out the beans of poor quality, so that after sorting, the raw coffee beans will be sealed into bags and exported to all parts of the world.

Do you think this is over? NONONO is still a long way off! The really good coffee is roasted and mixed by a pair of dexterous magic hands of the roaster, and then it becomes the coffee roasted beans you see on the market. Grind the beans into powder, put them into the extraction apparatus, and finally the coffee arrives in the cup.

Of course, the way coffee is drunk varies greatly around the world. In Ethiopia, people have a traditional culture of "coffee ritual" for coffee beans, just like the Chinese "tea ceremony". Of course, the most mainstream way of extraction is dripping, which is the most ideal way for families to make coffee.

The most amazing thing about coffee is that the flavor of coffee changes constantly in the process of drinking coffee for many reasons. Perhaps because the bitterness in the coffee itself has a change in temperature, the same thing makes us feel that the sour, bitter and sweet taste of the same cup of coffee is different at different temperatures. If the temperature is too low, we will increase the sour taste of the coffee, and if the coffee cools completely, we will feel the sour taste more easily. In fact, the brewing temperature will also affect the taste of coffee.

If you want to keep the flavor of coffee for a long time, what should you do? Extreme overcooling may be a good way, if the coffee can not be heated within the specified time, there will be a dry taste. If you heat coffee in the microwave, you may feel unevenly heated. I personally think it is best to drink iced coffee directly.

In fact, there are many changes in coffee, we should learn to understand the fun of coffee changes, if you can jump out of the preconceived view that "coffee can only drink hot", you can feel the charm of coffee more. Although there are many people who like hot coffee, I think good coffee tastes better when it is cold. With the gradual balance of sour and bitter coffee, the taste will become very sticky.

Hot summer, cold and fresh drinks have become the object of competition, today to share a coffee extraction method that is very suitable for "lazy cancer patients", in the past two years, a new coffee practice has emerged from the United States, cold extracted coffee (Cold Brew Coffee).

This "Internet celebrity" has made great efforts to make it popular in China from Seattle, and more and more people appear in people's horizons, whether in boutique cafes or on social software. the appearance rate is ridiculously high.

What is cold coffee?

Cold-extracted coffee (Cold Brew Coffee), also known as cold-brewed coffee, is slowly extracted at low temperature, soaked in cold water, sealed and refrigerated for about 12 hours, then filtered and poured out to drink, similar to cold-brewed tea. Generally speaking, the process of extracting coffee at low temperature belongs to cold extraction.

Why is cold coffee so popular?

First of all, the production principle is very simple, as long as after a long time with cold water can extract the essence of coffee, the coffee extracted in this way is different from the traditional high-temperature rapid extraction, because of low temperature, the tannin and other ingredients in coffee beans dissolve very little, the taste will be more smooth and mellow, the sour taste will relatively sink, there will not be very bright acid. But the taste is really good. Cold extracted coffee is very suitable for making at home, with a low degree of difficulty. As long as you master the ratio of coffee powder to water, you can get a good cup of coffee. Brown friends who are very interested in taste, maybe this is your best choice.

Which one is better for cold extraction coffee?

In cold extracted coffee, Yongpu is a good brand, because the freshness of freshly ground coffee directly affects its taste and flavor, Yongpu coffee strictly stipulates that the taste period is only 30 days. This can maximize the freshness of freshly ground coffee (there will be a little precipitation, but does not affect the taste).

Since I bought Yongpu cold coffee bag, the first thing to do when I get home in the evening is to quickly soak a cup and put it in the refrigerator. I can drink a delicious cup of cold coffee the next day, which is not too convenient.
