Professional barista communication, please pay attention to coffee workshop (Weixin Official Accounts cafe_style)

Some people drink coffee depends on the weather, some people drink coffee depends on the mood, some people drink coffee depends on the environment, some people drink coffee depends on friends, some people drink coffee depends on who cooks it, some people drink coffee depends on whether the beauty is beautiful, some people drink coffee depends on the wallet, some people drink coffee depends on the popularity of the coffee shop----. Anyway, coffee can be drunk for any reason, but if you ask me, what is good coffee? I insist on asking "tongue" first for coffee!

Of course it's your tongue, not mine!

All the delicious food only exists in the mouth to the throat this short distance of about ten centimeters, accounting for only a few tenths of the entire digestive tract distance, but dominate the choice of diet, this short few centimeters with food paste meat fight is "tongue". All food, whether drunk or eaten, must pass through the tongue, and must be sent to the rear by the tongue, otherwise it will not be able to lower the stomach, so the tongue is really too important.

What's more important is that "tongue" body and between the upper and lower jaws are full of the most advanced detectors-"taste buds", which can immediately connect all the food passing by with the super computer in the brain, record all the tastes and save them immediately. When the same food passes by next time, immediately compare them, and even fine enough that you can remember the taste of food when you think of food. There is an idiom that vividly describes this memory function: "Looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst". This is incredible, so the next time you drink coffee, remember not to let the tongue only transport the coffee, let the coffee stay on the tongue for a while, and let these sensitive detectors analyze whether the taste is sour, sweet, bitter or astringent. How sour? What acid? What is the difference between sour taste when hot and sour taste when cooled, how these sour tastes change in the tongue, and which part of the tongue is most sensitive to acid----! Write down these tastes and feelings.

Yes! The astringent taste should also be analyzed, the sweet taste should also be analyzed, and the bad taste such as smoky taste and fishy smell should also be done. The more information you collect, the easier it will be to understand what is called pleasant sour taste, what is called bright feeling, and syrupy taste. Of course, what mellow, three-dimensional, layered, sharp, sharp, and so on will be clear in memory one by one.

Finally, describe these tastes with your own unique words, such as "bright sour like afternoon sun" or "sweet like fresh after rain", etc., slowly you will naturally know what kind of coffee will taste good.

When doing this homework, please remember not to add the curry rice you just ate to your coffee, and don't add the taste of garlic fried beef to your coffee, otherwise you insist that the coffee tastes of garlic, and I have no explanation. (I mean gargle before drinking coffee, so that the taste of the mouth does not affect the coffee)

So if you want to ask me how to taste a cup of coffee, I'll tell you "drink coffee with your tongue" and "drink enough!"

But remember: do not burn the tongue, scalded tongue is no taste!
