Strange coffee: two ladles of Mantlin plus nine Java

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

I don't remember when it happened, probably around 1991. In the bright sunshine of the summer afternoon, a fashionable girl came and gave people a good feeling; she ordered a cup of coffee that I will never forget: "Mantrin plus nine javas".

Guests who drink "Mantle" are usually people who are used to espresso and are close to drinking coffee. Some of these people will ask for a rebrew, some will ask for double portions, and they will usually refill their glasses, but this is the first time that they will be named to add a few Javas, so I repeated the sentence with a question: "Nine javas?" Before she answered, I added, "do you want to be the same size?" she was stupefied for a moment, a little confused. Later, I learned that a bar master told her that this recipe was the best, so she drank it inexplicably.

Many people's comments on coffee are still bitter and astringent, while others believe that coffee must be drunk with sugar and cream, just like this "Nine Java" lady. Coffee has already been filled with two tablespoons of sugar and two cream. I really can't understand the meaning of sticking to "Nine Java". For example, there is an old coffee shop famous for its special iced coffee, a cup of coffee which is full of bitterness caused by over-extraction for four or five minutes, with three or four tablespoons of cream powder and sugar water, and sells for 200 yuan. it is still rated as the best iced coffee, although the food is very subjective, but for coffee, I see a lot of people following others!
