The Italian said: "No coffee in the producing area is perfect, so it must be mixed according to the characteristics of the coffee in each producing area in order to get the most perfect taste!" This sentence is a famous saying after the emergence of the espresso machine. From then on, the espresso machine is considered to be the most perfect coffee cooking equipment. According to the characteristics of the espresso machine, it has an irreplaceable position in terms of the consistency of work efficiency and brewing quality. This can be seen from the widespread use of espresso machines in coffee shops in Europe and the United States, and the current coffee craze in Taiwan also points out this.

However, if the espresso machine is the most perfect way to cook coffee, it is open to question! Especially for coffee in the producing area! The sentence must be changed to look like this: "if you use an Italian coffee machine to cook coffee, no coffee in the producing area is perfect, so it must be mixed according to the characteristics of the coffee from each region in order to get the perfect taste!" In fact, the espresso machine is the Terminator of coffee in the producing area!

In an airtight container with only a single outlet, nine atmospheric pressures instantly push 92.5 degrees Celsius water over coffee powder to extract a golden yellow, thick and small cup of so-called essence. This high-pressure cooking method is a segmental injury to any kind of food, not to mention coffee, a plant with complex ingredients, any kind of coffee in the producing area is bound to be completely broken as long as it uses an Italian coffee machine. Completely lose the original flavor and texture, making the original bitter coffee more bitter, sour and sour, sweet mixed with sour and astringent taste, the original unique flavor of origin, and even become fishy smell, a cup of high-quality coffee, instantly dissipated, leaving only a pool of black water that can not be imported, which is the killer of coffee, worthless to speak of!

However, its work efficiency is the cleanest and most time-saving and time-saving of all cooking methods. Under the premise of rapidly supplying hot coffee when the demand for coffee is increasing, in order to make up for this major deficiency, we can only mix the characteristics of coffee beans from various areas in order to balance the taste, so it has evolved into a situation in which Italian coffee has to be comprehensive coffee, and the characteristics of each producing area are gradually blurred. This is very different from the traditional concept of delicacy of specialty products in producing areas.

In addition to the shortcomings of coffee in the producing areas, the cooking method of the Italian coffee machine is actually a positive help to the work efficiency and work flow of the whole cafe. In addition, under the extremely high pressure, the Italian coffee machine virtually tests the coffee industry. From the selection and blending of raw beans to the methods of baking, we all need better and finer quality, and there is nothing to hide the slight defects at nine atmospheric pressures. therefore, all the grinders in the coffee industry claim to choose high-priced and high-quality beans and compete to use high-priced hot air roasters.

Because the Italian coffee machine can only use mixed coffee, the coffee in all producing areas has disappeared from the menu of the shops using the Italian coffee machine, replaced by European coffee with a lot of milk, whipped cream and chocolate, and because it has added a lot of additives to dilute the original taste of the coffee, so that many people who do not drink coffee can accept the coffee, thus virtually expanding the sales of coffee. So the espresso machine is becoming more and more popular day after day. I don't know whether it's lucky or unfortunate.
