Now in many companies' pantries, there is coffee for employees and visiting guests, especially in the advertising industry, multimedia and Internet and other fashion areas have been replaced by instant coffee. Employees in these industries often encounter situations such as receiving customers, working overtime and brainstorming. If you have a cup of coffee, it will be a good way to adjust the atmosphere and help the work. In the central business district of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, it is absolutely common for a receptionist to bring you a cup of coffee.

However, whether you are a company manager or a receptionist, does the flavor of a cup of coffee really express your wishes or proper hospitality? Although office coffee culture has prevailed in recent years, most companies are not good at judging the taste of coffee, and it would be a little embarrassing if you give drinkers an unpleasant taste. What you don't know about the bigger secret is that the coffee machine in the pantry looks high-end, but once the maintenance is absent, it may become a place to hide dirt! So what are the reasons that affect the flavor, health and safety of coffee?

Generally speaking, in addition to the raw materials and the way of roasting, the most important thing that affects the flavor of coffee is the freshness of coffee beans. The so-called concept of freshness should be within a week or a month and a half after roasting. During this period, the coffee flavor is gradually released and reached its best state. After that, the flavor will gradually oxidize and naturally begin to lose and produce more unpleasant flavors. Although you may adopt a better sealed storage method, basically it will not help, not to mention that in some cases, unused coffee beans are stored in the bean storage box of the coffee machine, and the heat generated during standby will accelerate the oxidation process of coffee beans.

In addition, due to the heat generated by the coffee machine and the flavor of the coffee itself, some invisible friends in the office-cockroaches will smell incense, and they swim up and down where you can't see them. I'm afraid this kind of coffee is hard for you to swallow anyway?

The maintenance and maintenance of the coffee machine is also very important, because many coffee machines are free to use, so most of the office coffee machines on the market are small or even household low-cost equipment, regardless of procedures and parts are not excellent, once the maintenance is not enough or extended service, the coffee made is naturally greatly discounted.

In fact, these situations have long attracted attention, and the current solution is to protect them passively. However, the latest information shows that in many foreign coffee reception companies, they have begun to adopt safer ways to ensure fresh coffee consumption, that is, the use of capsule coffee, which is characterized by a high degree of integration. From roasting to packaging are all produced in a safe environment, until the production of coffee completely avoid secondary pollution, because of high sealing and nitrogen-filled packaging Keep the coffee fresh for a long time. Each capsule can make a cup of coffee, and the overall cost is more suitable, and the equipment is much cheaper than the machines that use coffee beans, which well controls the cost of drinking. It has been very popular in many foreign companies. In China, this kind of capsule coffee has been sold in previous years, but the price is really high, which is beyond the affordability of ordinary companies. Although it is a good alternative to coffee beans, it can only be used in some companies with sufficient budgets. However, it is believed that such a good product will be produced by domestic enterprises in China sooner or later.
