Standards and procedures for tasting boutique coffee

We often hear people ask the coffee shop owner, "Boss, what's your best coffee?"

When faced with such a question, it is difficult to answer the criteria and steps of coffee, because everyone's taste is different, either expensive or good.

This topic is more professional, if you understand it, you can know what the coffee shop gives you to drink, and I hope you can find your favorite coffee.

Tasting coffee usually has six aspects: aroma, sweetness, sour taste, bitterness, aftertaste, mellow.

Everyone has different standards for these six things, like the same cup of coffee, some people feel bitter, but some people feel that it is not bitter at all.

Aroma:

After picking up the coffee cup, I usually smell it for the first time. After drinking it, there is also a fragrance in my mouth. Many people pay special attention to the aroma of coffee (including myself), such as Blue Mountain, Yega Chuefei and Mojadu.

Sweet:

Many people do not agree that coffee is sweet, but coffee contains fructose and caramel, so it is a little sweet.

The sweetness of Manning is more prominent, you can drink a mouthful of water after a mouthful of mandenin, you will obviously feel a return to sweetness.

Sour taste:

There are two kinds of sour taste, one is the sour taste of coffee fruit, which is very fresh and pleasant, and the other is kept too long, like the sour taste of oil, which is very uncomfortable. What we want to evaluate is the former. A lot of good coffee has obvious sour taste, the best example is Blue Mountain, the sour taste is very obvious. Not everyone likes sour taste, so real blue mountain coffee is not very popular in our country.

The deeper the coffee beans are roasted, the less sour they are, instead of bitterness. Good coffee beans usually choose light roasting to maintain their own characteristics, so a lot of good coffee is a little sour.

Bitter taste:

"bitter" should be many people's first impression of coffee, I would like to tell you: "in fact, good coffee is not bitter." "

People may often drink espresso, their coffee beans are relatively poor and roasted almost to the paste, of course, it is bitter and astringent, in fact, good coffee beans plus lightly roasted coffee is not bitter.

Yu Yun:

Yu Yun means the taste that stays in the mouth after drinking coffee. After drinking McDonald's coffee, the taste also stayed for a long time, but it was an uncomfortable taste, not an aftertaste.

The aftertaste of Manning is rather long, and if you stop eating and drinking after coffee, the taste can last all morning.

Mellow:

This is the same thing as the mellow thickness of red wine, mainly depending on the taste of the coffee. Manning is also outstanding in this respect.

Everyone's taste is different. I hope you can give you more hints, such as more fragrant, not too bitter and sour, before you ask the coffee shop owner next time, so that they can recommend a good cup of coffee to you.

The steps for drinking coffee:

1) smell the coffee first.

2) take a sip without sweetened milk.

3) according to the thickness of the coffee and your preference to add sugar milk, sugar milk does not have to be added, in fact, good coffee without sugar milk also drink a lot, if it is poor coffee, there is more sugar milk to cover the taste.

4) drink the coffee before it is cold, and it will become sour after it is cold.
