Coffee, cocoa and tea are also known as the three biggest drinks in the world. Because caffeine can stimulate the central nervous system and achieve a refreshing effect, coffee is simply a night companion for overtime and student parties. So, apart from being refreshing, what other knowledge of coffee is worth knowing?

The editor specially sorted out 10 pieces of cold knowledge about coffee and shared several mainstream fancy coffee making methods by the way. Knowing these, I will never encounter embarrassment when ordering in the coffee shop.

1. Coffee is not all bitter.

Coffee contains caffeine, and caffeine itself is very bitter, so in our understanding, coffee is bitter. In fact, this is not entirely the case. According to the growing environment of coffee beans, the acidity and mellowness of coffee vary. In addition, there will be different flavors such as nuts, cocoa, flowers and plants.

Acidity was mentioned earlier, yes, coffee is not only bitter, but also sour, mainly due to the tannins in coffee. The combination of sour, sweet and bitter creates a unique mellow taste of coffee. In the international evaluation system, acid-free coffee is basically a negative score.

Occasionally we drink coffee will feel more and more sour, this is because the boiled tannic acid decomposed into pyrouric acid, so that the overall acidity of the coffee increased. In general, the appreciation period of dripping black coffee in a coffee shop is about 1 hour. If you taste a different acidity in the coffee, it is probably because the waiter has been lazy.

. The coffee here is black coffee flavored without milk sugar, not the coffee we often drink. Coffee is seasoned by the addition of milk and sugar, and what we drink is not the original flavor of the coffee.

two。 Coffee can lose weight and gain weight.

Generally speaking, caffeine helps to promote metabolism, drinking the right amount of black coffee will not only not gain weight, but will accelerate fat loss. While we often drink instant coffee, canned coffee and coffee made in coffee shops, with the addition of milk, sugar and plant fat powder, people who want to lose weight should choose carefully. If you really can't stand the bitterness of black coffee, choose a simple and low-key latte.

As for how to use coffee to achieve a better fat reduction effect, we have described it in detail in our previous article.

3. There is no milk in instant coffee

Instant coffee is an extract obtained by evaporating the water in the coffee extract, which can be brewed directly to drink. It is convenient, fast and cheap, and it is probably the most common coffee drink. Some instant coffee will have a strong milky aroma, this is not because of the addition of "condensed milk", but plant fat powder to provide a "milky feeling" for coffee, the routine is really difficult to prevent.

4. "Espresso"

If you often drink coffee in a coffee shop, you will find that a very small cup of coffee is very popular with foreigners. This is the famous Espresso, which is also what we often call espresso.

Espresso is a high-purity coffee extract and a common coffee base for fancy coffee. Espresso around 50ml can make 400ml or so fancy coffee, so it is very powerful to drink without dilution (of course, it is really bitter).

In addition, there are two common methods of non-diluted espresso, namely concentrated Campbell blue (espresso with cream) and concentrated macchiato (espresso with cream). It tastes good by neutralizing the bitterness of coffee with cream and cream.

5. Most of the blue mountain coffee in China is a beautiful lie, but it is actually blue mountain coffee.

First of all, Blue Mountain Coffee is not a fancy coffee such as latte or mocha, but a coffee drink made of beans from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, which is divided into Blue Mountain Coffee and Alpine Coffee according to its quality. The unique geographical environment of Jamaica has created the distinctive flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee, which is a perfect combination of sour, bitter and sweet, and has an extraordinary position in the hearts of coffee lovers.

The annual output of Blue Mountain coffee is very limited, and its high quality and huge market demand determine that its price can not be close to the people.

However, most of the Blue Mountain coffee on the domestic market is not authentic, a small part of which is coffee beans around the Jamaican Blue Mountain Mountains, and even less is a mixture of alpine and blue mountains.

6. Kopi Luwak is the most inhumane coffee.

When it comes to Kopi Luwak, the editor's heart can't help but smoke. Kopi Luwak is not coffee made from cat shit, but coffee beans excreted by musk cats in Southeast Asia that cannot be digested after eating coffee fruit. Its birth itself is accidental.

When people find that the coffee beans excreted by civets have a better taste (here can't help but ask, what did the first person do? ), and the disaster happened.

In order to gain high benefits, some people raise civets and deliberately feed coffee beans. These poor little creatures lose their freedom and are forced to eat a lot of things that they cannot digest at all and become victims of human desires. No matter how good the coffee is, the editor refuses it.

7. The coffee beans of some Buck, some Starr, some Danglau and some Decky are traced back to a father.

The word "Arabica" is very common in coffee shops. It is not the name of a coffee bean, but a coffee tree species. Arabica trees account for 70% of the world's coffee bean production, grow mostly in higher altitude areas, and are the main commercial coffee. Blue Mountain Coffee and Kenya Coffee all belong to Arabica trees with high quality taste.

In addition to Arabica, Robusta is also a common coffee tree, its taste is more boring, the price is much cheaper. In addition, there are Liberian and Alabasta species, which are not common on the market.

8. Latte, the deepest undercover in coffee.

Latte is translated from Latte and translated as "Milk" in Hong Kong, which means milk in Italian. Latte alone can not be used as a representative of coffee, it just means that it contains milk.

So when you say you don't want to drink coffee, the waiter in the coffee shop keeps recommending matcha lattes (milk plus matcha powder and syrup) and black tea lattes (milk plus black tea and syrup). It's really not teasing you.

In addition, latte should be an entry-level drink in the coffee shop. Simple espresso and milk steamed with a thin layer of fine foam will neither appear too bitter nor sweet.

Based on the latte, different syrup and spices are added to give rise to a variety of fancy coffee. Most coffee names are as straightforward as Chinese athletes-vanilla lattes with vanilla syrup, hazelnut lattes with hazelnut syrup, and caramel lattes with caramel syrup. As for why there is no chocolate latte, it has been unkindly renamed Mocha.

9. Coffee and milk tea have an illegitimate child.

Coffee and milk tea, as the two mountains in the beverage industry, usually compete fiercely, but what many people do not know is that they once broke through secular ideas and fell in love and gave birth to a son, and married a particularly beautiful name-Yuanyang.

To be exact, the mandarin duck is made of milk, tea and coffee, and it feels like a mess in this circle. Compared with traditional coffee, the taste of mandarin duck is closer to milk tea, but the role of caffeine can not be ignored, do not drink too much, or you will not sleep at night!

10. Coffee grounds are not dregs at all.

After using coffee powder to make coffee, it will leave a lot of dregs. These coffee grounds look like dregs, but they are actually a good family man. After drying, it can be put in the toilet to remove the smell and can be used as a dehumidifier. In addition, because coffee grounds contain a lot of nitrogen, it can also be used as fertilizer to raise flowers and plants. In short, don't waste it just because it looks dark!

Finally, share a few common fancy coffee recipes, conditional friends can try it at home!
