Eva Wiseman: misunderstanding about "adults" in lattes

Background: Eva Wiseman (Eva Wiseman), female writer, author of the novels A Place Not Home, My Canary Yellow Star, No One Must Know, Puppet, etc.

"I used to think that coffee is like an adult, incompatible with the taste buds that have not grown up with my age since I was 6 years old. I have loved sweets since I was a child, but the bitterness and intensity of coffee are hard for me to swallow. I don't understand that professional women who rush to work every day would rather have slippers than a cup of coffee in their hands. Until one day, when I tasted a cup of Latte that keeps adding sugar to the cup, I finally realized that the secret of coffee is that it tastes like a cup of pudding when it's made just right. "

Philip Hansel: mixing a cup of instant coffee is the opening ceremony before I write.

Background: Philip Hansel (Philip Hensher), best-selling British novelist, author of novels such as The Northern Clemency, King of the Badgers, The Mulberry Empire and Scenes from Early Life.

Instant coffee powder is simply a miracle invention of the fast food world. Its most delicious moment is when you open a new can of instant coffee powder and the smell comes to your nostrils, just like a perfume of coffee. Sometimes, add a piece of cocoa mousse to instant coffee and take a retro black-and-white photo of the group. This kind of behavior may be strange, but it is a novel to me. Only a simple cup of instant coffee, as if there is a magic, hot steam, put your ideas into the words on the paper. "

Jeff Dale: my favorite is pure cappuccino

Background: Jeff Dale (Geoff Dyer), a British writer, is a great researcher on photography and art criticism. A variety of works, jazz theme work "but beautiful", biographical novel "Out of Sheer Rage" and so on won many awards. The new book Jeff in Venice,death in Varasani (living in Venice and dying in Varanasi) has been well received.

"I have always been a fan of pure Cappaccino. I have tasted a few different flavors in the mood of trying several times, but it is always unsatisfactory. A perfect cappuccino is the ultimate experience of coffee, but the peak is too difficult to maintain. The temperature of the coffee should be neither too cold nor too hot. The foam must be intact and cannot float casually on top of the coffee. This layer of foam must be uniform in texture and must not have bubbles or cocoa powder. "

Zoe Williams: develop a new way to drink triple espresso

Background: Zoe Williams is a columnist for the Guardian and a news critic and author of Bring it on,baby, a popular science book on pregnancy and parenting based on her own experience.

"when I was in college, I drank a normal amount of coffee every day, but also took some caffeinated drugs. So much so that every time I had a double espresso, it was not enough. At first, I would buy two double extra strong cups and pretend that one of them was for a friend, but often my hands trembled-there was too much caffeine. Until a guy named Ron said to me, "Why don't you order a double extra strong and a glass of extra strong?" So I started the habit of ordering triple espresso (Triple espresso). Later, I met customers who ordered three times as much extra strong as I did in this coffee shop, and I was sure I was the inventor of this coffee. "

Camilla Shams: let the coffee machine make long-filtered coffee for me on a comfortable morning

Background: Camilla Shams (Kamila Shamsie), a female writer born in Karachi, Pakistan, is the author of five novels, including Burnt Shadows (charred Shadow) and Broken Verses (broken stanza).

"early in the morning, I woke up, went into the kitchen, went to the coffee machine, added water, poured in the coffee powder, and slowly heated it. Then I went to the doormat to get the newspaper. Usually when I read the news on the international page, there was a strong aroma of coffee. I am very grateful to the coffee maker for his exquisite design, which makes it easy for people to enjoy the original taste of coffee. "

Jeames Mick: order a cup of American coffee with milk

Background: Jeames Mick (James Meek), British writer and journalist, author of two short stories and four novels. In 2004, he won several news awards for his coverage of Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.

"the first thing I do at home every day is to prepare my secret weapon and add coffee with hot milk. I like to add about 140 milliliters of milk to my espresso cup. I insist on adding hot milk to my coffee every morning, probably under the influence of some food giants and the French who drink milk coffee every day. I want espresso to wake me up from my curled-up sleep, but I don't want to throw myself into a busy day's work, as if planning to take off my robe, retract my warm quilt and go back to sleep. "

Katie Parkrick: love Australian "Milk Cafe"

Background: Katie Parkrick (Katie Puckrick), anchorwoman, actress and memoir writer.

"I always insist that my coffee tastes like coffee, not warm milk. Later, I was lucky to find that the milk coffee developed by the Australians is the perfect combination of coffee and milk. Milk combines the sharpness of coffee, and the fruity and nutty coffee beans show who is the real owner of warm milk. "
