How to "drink" a cup of boutique coffee from the basic to taste a cup of boutique coffee to make a coffee?

How to taste a cup of hand-made coffee correctly

First of all, we must understand the basic taste of coffee:

Acid: there must be! Fruit acid can make coffee lively, light and rich. But what we hope to drink is the acid of fruit, such as the acid of apples, lemons and peaches. What I don't want is vinegar-like acidity.

Sweet: the sweetness of coffee is not the sweetness of sugar, but the combination of caramel sweetness and caramel-like aroma.

Bitterness: there will be bitterness in all coffee, but we don't want to drink too much bitterness. Bitterness increases with the degree of roasting. If you like coffee beans that are slightly roasted, we hope to drink bitterness that will "melt" rather than taste like "charred", "carbon" and "smoke".

Aroma: this is the most precious and delicate treasure of coffee. If there are no identifiable and clear flavor characteristics, there is no need to choose this kind of coffee, because it is no different from other coffee!

Sense of balance: for me, the sense of balance is very important. It can basically be said to be the synthesis of all feelings. It must be sour (but not too bitter), sweet, not too bitter, and have a comfortable taste and a pleasant aftertaste. All in all, it should be pleasant to drink as a whole.
