There are six questions I would like to ask in a coffee shop: what are the characteristics of deep-roasted and light-roasted coffee beans?

Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

1. What's the difference between deep-baked and light-baked beans?

Light roasting: light roasted coffee beans and deep roasted coffee beans contain the same percentage of caffeine, rich in sweetness and floral aroma. This flavor is more common in the country of origin.

Deep roasting: deep roasted coffee beans are rich in sweetness and long-lasting, but not necessarily more intense, just different roasting methods. Just as IPA is compared with black beer, deep-roasted coffee beans are compared with light-roasted coffee beans not only in terms of flavor intensity, but also in terms of their richness and complexity, and how they are eventually extracted.

two。 What's the difference between Arabica beans and Robusta beans?

Arabica beans and Rob beans are two different varieties of coffee beans, and all the coffee we usually drink belongs to one of these two varieties.

Arabica: growing at higher elevations, it is more expensive, mostly from Latin America. The caffeine content is half that of Robst, with a rich sweet taste, a delicate smell and a softer flavor. 70% of the world's coffee beans are Arabica.

Robusta: grows at lower elevations, mostly from Africa and Indonesia. The caffeine content is twice that of Arabica, and the flavor is more mundane, dull and pungent. Only 30% of the world's coffee beans are Robusta.

3. The difference between espresso and hand-brewed coffee?

Espresso: Italian extra-strong coffee is the use of steam pressure, instant extraction of coffee liquid, the surface is a layer of oil, is a cup of coffee with high concentration of caffeine, is the basis of all kinds of Italian coffee.

Hand-brewed coffee: by pouring hot water evenly into the coffee powder, the process will pass through the filter paper, and finally the coffee will leak into the coffee pot. The caffeine concentration of hand-brewed coffee is lower than that of espresso, but the amount of extraction is higher, and there is no oil on the surface.

4. What's the difference between Latte and Cupppaccino?

Latte: a thin layer of milk foam on the surface, with a lot of hot milk in the middle, which is stronger than cappuccino.

Cappuccino: the milk foam on the surface is thicker, the hot milk in the middle is less than the latte, and the coffee flavor is stronger.

5. What's the difference between Latte and Cafe Au Lait?

The most basic difference between them is that lattes are made of Italian extra-strong and hot milk, while Au Lait is made of dripping coffee and hot milk.

6. To read espresso [e 'spres mistake] or expresso [ek'spres mistake] (Japanese pronunciation mistake)?

In fact, the pronunciation of the two is similar, but when you say espresso [e'spres idiot], it is tantamount to saying "squeeze / extract" in Italian; but when you say expresso? [ek'spres idiot], it is as if you are saying "I am an idiot" in English, so it is better to pronounce correctly.
