Disgusting Behaviour

The following is a list of some cup-testing behaviors that people point to.

1. There is a spoon before / during the cup test

Like the following. Wait for the cup test to unconsciously hold the spoon into the mouth before the cup test begins. Imagine holding it in your saliva-filled mouth for a period of time and then putting it in the coffee to break the dregs and stir it. This is really a very direct indirect tongue kiss. Even the goddess can't forgive. If you want to kiss me, just kiss me. Don't hold the spoon all the time. How unsanitary. (Ah, of course it has nothing to do with the following picture)

two。 Delicious to participate in the cup test (especially serious for women)

Full of color, smell, smell, which is usually used to describe food, but it seems that for hundreds of years, human beings have preferred physical fragrance, ancient pilgrims, now perfumers, full of fragrance, is not not to give you the opportunity to show, but to attend cup testing activities, please, try not to let your body fragrance too prominent, restrain a bit. Otherwise, it will not only affect the dry and wet smell of coffee, but also directly affect the taste of coffee. Don't ask why, more than 60% of coffee beans are made of wood, and it's hard to smell perfume after grinding. Finally, it becomes a question whether to smell coffee beans or you.

At this time, some male compatriots laughed, don't laugh, some men always spray hairspray on their heads, do you think your taste is not choking? That taste is not pleasant at all, okay?

3. Stinky people take part in cup testing activities (especially for men)

Apart from body odor, on the other hand, it is body odor. Sweaty people come in, sweaty people will really affect the cup test experience, the author will definitely be far away from him at least 5 people's distance, that smell is really too bad, sour and sour, simply pungent.

Summer is coming, and some groups are prone to sweating. That's even more sour.

The other is strong body odor, which is easy to have strong body odor even if you don't sweat. There is a more uncomfortable is the smelly fox, with these people cup test, the author still order a cup to drink slowly.

For the above-mentioned people, the author suggests that if you are sweaty or smell heavy after exercise, you are advised to take a bath if you have the conditions, but not to be involved in the cup testing activities. You're affecting a bunch of people.

4. The hair fell into the cup.

This kind of scene is rather spurned, so there is no related bad textbook photos, it is not easy to find a negative example on the Internet, unexpectedly from the smell of dried incense has been rooted in the cup test bowl. This is a mistake that girls often make. It is unsanitary to tie your hair too long into a cup and test bowl. Who knows how many days a girl with long hair washes her hair and takes care of it carefully?

Ladies with long hair are advised to tie up your hair as much as possible to prevent it from taking root and sprouting in the coffee liquid.

5. Discover the general cry of the New World (usually with the best part of the face)

During the cup test, you will meet such a person who yells as soon as he drinks.

"oh Berry, that's the smell, that's Berry. Ah, this tastes good, ah, that tastes good, too. I got the smell of matcha. Oh, that's great. "Let's make up for it, and a girl shouted in a loud voice. For the first time, I slapped her in the head, and then said, shut up!

Even if it tastes good, don't react so much to affect other people's judgment.

The author does not object to communication, but suggests taking a step back and whispering without affecting others.

6. Have a cup test if you have a cold

This kind of person seems to love coffee very much, like loving coffee with rope life, but in fact it is not. If you like coffee, go home and have a good recovery. Colds are contagious, okay?

Imagine that the cup tester around you is tearing up his nose at the same time, not only in his mouth, but also in his nose. I can't bear to look directly at it.

What's more, I sneezed during the cup test. You can fill in that picture by yourselves.

7. Welcome to add

There may be worse. You are welcome to add.
