Hand-brewing coffee experience in Jingyan Coffee Lab

Hand-brewed coffee is made in a Kinto Brewer hand-brewed coffee pot. There are about three or four types of coffee beans to choose from, and the price depends on the price of the beans.

For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Coffee seems simple to make, but it turns out that baristas have to carefully calculate the moisture, coffee beans, baking time and temperature. Only with precise cooperation can we get a cup of good food. Roastery Lab by The Coffee Academics is a coffee laboratory, where you can see the process of storing raw beans, fried beans, cup test area, etc., and how to pay attention to water temperature. Who dares to say that coffee is just a cup of ordinary drink?

The website of the restaurant shows that the address is 41 Staunton Street, Central, but I am lost in the street. Finally, the restaurant clerk called to remind me that I had to walk down the stairs to the mysterious coffee lab. Like the popular "Wenqing unimprinted style", the coffee shop takes a minimalist route, with black, white and gray as the main tone, and I am greeted by Vanessa, a young barista with a physical appearance.

The new shopkeeper gives milk coffee, fast coffee and coffee tea, and temporarily holds a coffee guide group twice a week, one for two to four people, and must make an online reservation. This time I participated in the 45-minute guided tour. "We use coffee bean clothes to make coffee and tea like scented tea, as a Welcome Drink." Vanessa, the guide, handed over a cup of dark black coffee and tea, which at first glance looked like ordinary caffeine. We listened to her introduce the small coffee shop in the bitter taste of the acid.

"this is a Sanremo Opera coffee machine from Italy. It can store 12 different programs, including water temperature, water output, coffee brewing time, and so on. The storage program is nearly double that of other similar machines." She patted the partner, which is worth more than 100,000 yuan, and took everyone to the raw bean storage room. "how to store raw beans is a science. In order to prolong the storage time of raw beans, it must be adjusted to the best temperature. Now the temperature in the storage room is 22 degrees Celsius and 65% humidity." With that, she turned to point to and explain the changes of beans baked at different times, and privately gave me a cup of fresh milk coffee, "Wow, how sour!" This is my immediate reaction, but then the taste buds taste a clear flavor of beans. "our beans are all roasted for eight to nine minutes. I hope our guests can drink the original taste of coffee beans."

When you step out of the storage room, you can see the giant Giesen W15A roaster. "some of the beans in The Coffee Academics are baked by this Dutch roaster, which can bake up to 15 kilograms of beans at a time. There is a display to show the whole process. We continue to record different data and try to calculate the most perfect program to bake beans." I can only see that a large whiteboard behind is in Vanessa's handwriting, which I can't understand without a little special knowledge. Finally, we went to the laboratory on the second floor. Although the space was small, there was a lot of professional equipment. She explained to me one by one. When she saw my half-understanding expression, she explained it patiently.

When I got back downstairs, I got a cup of exquisite coffee custard. "topped coffee syrup is our specialty, not just Espresso." Vanessa smiled after finishing her work, and after talking, she learned that she was a top law student. She devoted herself to the coffee industry and gave up working as a lawyer. She made people admire her love of coffee and her persistence in her dream. This guided tour, the reporter got more than expected.
