Four classic espresso pairing guides

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

The person who translated Espresso into "Kung Fu Coffee" must have worked hard and declared that Espresso is second to none in the coffee world.

Like Kungfu Tea, in addition to the nature of tea, there is also a sense of fighting, high-end fighting equipment, sophisticated fighting techniques, but also the ability to distinguish guests. Espresso is the soul of coffee. People call it espresso. As its name implies, it comes from Italy, with high concentration and strong taste. A good cup of kung fu coffee is like a good base wine, which can make any fancy coffee, such as the most popular cappuccino and the most common latte are made with kung fu coffee. Of course, you can also be so clean and pure vegetarian face to the sky, good kungfu coffee surface will be covered with a thick layer of dark brown oil, the oil is sandwiched with fine markings, without any extra decoration is already wonderful.

Single espresso espresso

Single espresso is the basic style of kung fu coffee. It is the most popular coffee in Europe. If you only ask for coffee when you order in a cafe or restaurant, the waiter will definitely bring you a cup of kung fu coffee directly. They like to use small glasses similar to Shooter, and most of them are drunk in one or two mouthfuls, and few have slow taste, which is contrary to the slow eating of Chinese Kungfu Tea. Espresso frees people from the unfathomable production of individual coffee and complex coffee beans, usually with deeply roasted blended coffee beans, which, once approved and confirmed, will not change for decades, and the taste is quite stable.

Good kung fu coffee is difficult to make at home, and you need a coffee machine that is more professional and better. Whether the pressure of the machine is big enough, the water circulation system is smooth enough, the handle or even the powder press is smooth enough, will affect the appearance of a cup of Espresso. A good cup of kungfu coffee is through extreme high pressure, allowing water vapor to flow quickly through the pressed coffee powder, extracting a portion of the essence juice from the powder as thick as sugar. The time should not exceed 30 seconds, the temperature should not exceed 90 degrees Celsius, the force of manual pressing powder should be at least more than 20 kilograms, and the coffee oil should be 3 mm thick, which requires extremely accurate and absolute kung fu.

How to drink:

Even in a cafe, where you don't need a special environment to drink Espresso, and sometimes you don't even need a table, many people like to stand at the bar and watch the barista cook a cup of Espresso gracefully and fluently, and then bring it over and kill it in three seconds.

Recommended collocation:

1. Fresh lemonade, because Espresso is very strong, it is best to drink some water before drinking, to clear the taste, at least not to be thirsty.

two。 Brownie cake, because the coffee is very bitter, so it can be matched with a very sweet brownie cake to neutralize the taste.

3. Stand at the counter and have a chat with the barista, then leave quickly.

Macchiato espresso Ma Qiduo

Macchiato is more feminine and looks like a miniature version of cappuccino. The biggest difference between them, except that the weight of macchiato is 1/3 of that of cappuccino, macchiato is kung fu coffee with only a layer of milk foam and no milk, so the taste of espresso only stays on the lips, and the taste of espresso will not be diluted by milk. This coffee is the most popular in today's kung fu coffee, because many young cafes like to use this coffee to change styles, such as caramel macchiato, but it has been silently increased several times, and the taste has been reduced a lot. It's just that the beautiful name is still used.

How to drink:

Because there is a light milk bubble on it, do not stir it with a coffee spoon when drinking it. Even if you want to add sugar, it is best to sprinkle it evenly on the surface of the foam and drink it directly from an angle, so that the coffee can still be layered in the mouth.

Recommended collocation:

1. Dark chocolate, which is a perfect match for kung fu coffee, is a classic match in many cafes.

two。 Listening to Chopin Mazuka and drinking this kind of espresso is not suitable for listening to more lively pop music. A quiet piano is very harmonious.

Double espresso double espresso

Basically, this is a male drink, energetic and unpretentious, and an enhanced version of kung fu coffee for real coffee ghosts. Double does not mean doubling the amount of coffee, but the same amount of water, double the amount of coffee powder, coffee still looks like that, but the concentration has doubled. The level is equivalent to the essence in spirits and perfumes, which is more choking, and not everyone can accept it. Drinking this kind of coffee will spoil people. If you get used to such a strong taste, other coffees will taste like water. There are more extreme people who like to add wine to their Double, such as rum or whiskey, to pursue the satisfaction of being completely surrounded by taste.

How to drink:

Don't try a double espresso easily, because it will feel like you can't get up and down. But once you fall in love with it, you can't help it.

Recommended collocation:

1. Butter cookies, such a slightly mediocre match is just to make such an energetic drink have some content.

two。 Drink double is need to brew, a little time just can send text messages to friends I haven't seen for a long time, and greet them innocently.

Con panna espresso Herbalife

Herbalife is a cup of ordinary espresso poured with thick whipped cream, a more retro kungfu coffee, much like the aristocracy of tsarist Russia or the Austrian royal family, probably because fresh cream was relatively rare at that time. Most cafes are filled with glasses, so that guests can enjoy the interface between whipped cream and coffee, from a clean break at the beginning to a slight penetration, and finally the dark brown and clear espresso becomes cloudy. The sweetness of cream also pervades the bitter coffee and becomes more approachable. For those who want to try kung fu coffee, it will be easier to start with this coffee.

How to drink:

Because of the addition of whipped cream, Herbalife has a bit of afternoon tea atmosphere and may not need to match cakes. Its own structure is already very complete. It's best not to stir the cream when drinking it.

Recommended collocation:

1. American almonds, this is a healthier match and tastes good.

two。 Take a look at the new entertainment guide and pick up a poster of any program from the cafe.
