Just harvested coffee beans are tasteless, and then after the removal of moisture, heating and roasting, the coffee beans will produce chemical changes, resulting in strong volatile coffee aroma, sour and bitter taste. The lighter the baking degree, the stronger the sour taste and the higher the caffeine content; the more body baking, the more bitter taste, which is basically divided into eight baking degrees.

Individual coffee and espresso have their own support.

How many items of coffee, one step into the coffee shop, single, Italian, Blue Mountain, Mantenin, cappuccino, latte, American …... If people who are new to coffee may be confused by these dazzling items, what is the difference between these coffee items? Let's start with individual coffee and espresso.

Individual coffee refers to a single style of coffee beans from a single country, a single producing area or a single manor. Because each country has different geographical area, climate, soil and other factors, the flavor of coffee beans is also different, so you can taste the coffee flavor of different regions by tasting individual coffee. For example, Yegashev in Ethiopia tastes of charming flowers and fruits, while Sumatra's Mantenin is full of bitterness and mellow. When tasting individual coffee, it usually does not add milk or sugar, but only tastes the most primitive and natural flavor of coffee beans, which is enjoyed by coffee lovers. As opposed to single coffee, mixed coffee means to mix several kinds of single coffee beans, and espresso usually uses mixed coffee beans.

Espresso is made by an Italian coffee machine, which uses atmospheric pressure to wash hot water over the coffee powder to extract the coffee. Espresso-based espresso can be played in a variety of ways, such as milk, syrup, whipped cream and so on. For example, American coffee is espresso diluted with hot water; latte is an espresso with a lot of milk and a thin layer of milk foam; cappuccino is 1 cup of espresso with 3 cups of hot milk and 3 cups of milk foam; Campbell blue is an espresso with whipped cream.

Coffee is not only a drink, but also a discipline. From the type, origin, baking degree and brewing method of coffee beans, the finished products served on the table will have different flavor!
