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

In the film Green Card, White, the heroine who loves gardening, marries George, the hero who is eager to get an American green card, in order to have a house with a beautiful garden. These two people who grew up with completely different backgrounds and living habits also have completely different preferences for coffee-one likes decaffeinated coffee and the other likes distilled coffee. Interestingly, their philosophy of life almost coincides with the taste of coffee they choose. Since I am a person who will die if I don't drink coffee, I often have the opportunity to observe the correlation between a person's taste of coffee and his philosophy of life.

People who like non-caffeinated coffee like Bai Di pay great attention to "good health" and "balanced nutrition". Although they like the taste of coffee, they are not willing to risk their lives. In order to live a long life, they have to choose decaffeinated coffee which has coffee flavor but no coffee essence. What about you? What kind of coffee do you like to drink? Whether you want to get to know yourself better or get to know others better, you might as well grind a person's philosophy of life from coffee.

A practical pie for drinking instant coffee

People who usually like coffee may not be able to stand the excessive, light and lack of aroma of three-in-one instant coffee. It is only reluctantly acceptable in one case, that is, when you want to get rid of the sleepy head right away. Generally speaking, people who drink three-in-one instant coffee are rarely for the purpose of "tasting" the aroma of the coffee, mostly for the purpose of "refreshing". Therefore, the life attitude of the person who drinks three-in-one instant coffee, like the coffee he chooses, belongs to the "pragmatic school". They want to "see the results immediately" no matter what they do, but they don't care so much about whether the results are perfect or not, and sometimes even sacrifice quality for speed. I have a friend who is the promoter of three-in-one instant coffee. For him, time is money, and every minute must be spent on the knife edge. How can you waste your time on such a trivial thing as making coffee? If you ask him, "Don't you think the three-in-one instant coffee is too sweet and light and has no flavor?" He will teach you disapprovingly: "No matter whether it smells good or not, it is most important to be fast and effective!" "

Conservatives who use siphon alcohol lamps

Have you ever seen the process of making coffee with a siphon alcohol lamp? First of all, put boiled water in the bottom container, then heat it with a small alcohol lamp, then insert the funnel filled with filter paper (upper container), and then slowly pour the aroma-overflowing ground coffee powder into the funnel. After the boiled water in the bottom container boils, the funnel will be fixed cleverly. At this time, the boiling water will rush up into the funnel and have a hug with coffee. While the atmosphere is hot, the coffee brewer must not hesitate to stir the coffee that floats up, lest the coffee funnel is cloudy and the aroma is lost. Do not let the coffee stay in the funnel for about two or three minutes, the fire can be put out quietly, and the coffee liquid will flow smoothly to the bottom container. Come to think of it, that picture is elegant and complicated. Just like the process of making coffee with a siphon alcohol lamp, people who like to drink this kind of coffee are likely to stick to their usual way of doing things. They attach great importance to the "process" of doing things, and if the process makes him feel flawed, even if the result is completed successfully, they still cannot accept it. However, in this era of rapid change, if you stick to your usual way of doing things and do not know how to adjust at the right time with the changes of the times, it is easy to become a stubborn conservative in the eyes of others.

Drink Espresso's heavy metal pie.

People who like to drink espresso should be vigorous no matter what they do, and their sensory needs seem to be particularly strong. They should drink the strongest coffee, drink the strongest wine, and eat the hottest food, otherwise it will not be enjoyable. And in pursuit of grandeur. With a strong taste of life, they often exert the greatest strength from the least resources. therefore, their pace is always faster than others, and their life is harder than others. To them, "life" is like the taste of espresso Espresso, strong and bitter. One of my friends is a fan of espresso Espresso. Every time I drink coffee with him, I can't imagine how he can drink that black, bitter cup of coffee without sugar (or only a small amount of sugar) into his stomach. I remember when I was a student, every time this friend fell in love, he would complain to a bunch of our best friends and say, "how come there is no feeling of falling in love at all?" At that time, we laughed at him and said, "you must have read the novel so much that you think that the feeling of love must be twirling and dim!" "after graduation, everyone went their separate ways. At every party, he began to sigh and say, "how come I don't feel 'excited' when I work?" "maybe life is so mundane that he needs strong and bitter coffee to boost his morale!

Drink Cappuccino's hedonistic pie

Which of the following scenarios do you think is more suitable for a cup of cappuccino? The first scenario is to sit comfortably in a cafe and order a cup of coffee to taste it. The second scenario-yawning and collapsing in the cafe, hoping to have a cup of coffee to cheer me up immediately. I think the vast majority of people will choose the first scenario! Don't underestimate a small cup of Cappuccino, which has a lot of flavor, including cinnamon, dried lemon slices, and fresh cream mixed coffee! Just like Cappuccino contains a variety of flavors, people who like to drink this flavor of coffee also hope that life can be colorful and memorable! I am a fan of cappuccino myself. Wherever I go in the world, I will order a cup of fragrant cappuccino and browse the surrounding scenery while drinking it. I think there should be many cappuccino lovers share the same philosophy of life with me-life is for the purpose of happiness, do not want to sacrifice everything for work, do not like to live seriously, go wherever it is fun, absolute hedonist.

A boy scout with an electric coffee pot

In many large offices, coffee addicts can often be seen making a large pot of coffee in an electric coffee pot. They can not only enjoy it whenever they want, but also share it with other partners who share their joys and sorrows. People who usually "share good things with good friends" are more likely to lend a helping hand when others need them, rather than let them die. I recall that when I was studying in the United States many years ago, I was often enthusiastically taken care of by the electric coffee pot clans. whenever I was out of my mind, a classmate would hand over a cup of coffee at the right time. At that time, I really felt that the other person was a boy scout who "does good every day." my heart is filled with infinite warmth and gratitude.

Independents who grind their own coffee beans

People who like to grind their own coffee beans are generally very independent. In their daily life, they like DIY for almost everything from painting walls and gardening to repairing cars. They are hands-on and don't like fake hands. The main reason why they work so hard is not only to enjoy the fun of DIY, but also because they feel that "only they can do things well". No one can replace them. It can be said that they are born to work hard. Fortunately, they are also hard-working and will not scold at the same time. I didn't expect coffee to be so influential, did you? It can create sour, sweet, bitter and astringent tastes for your life!
