Recently, the buzzing musician series of coffee beans are rumored to have an additive flavor, and the official account Coffee complains that in response to this matter, three such articles have been posted to discuss the beans in this series (see article "I just want a cup of" clean "good coffee! Why should I object to tampering with coffee processing? After seeing the public relations statement of the fourth version of the online biography of a coffee company.

The discussion of problems comes from Zhihu.

Qianjie Coffee looked at the causes and consequences of the matter several times from beginning to end, and really disagreed with this way of discussing the problem. The questions raised: flavor was added to the beans, pineapple skins were added to the beans, and the bean merchants destroyed the evidence. Wait, wait. How did these come from? It's all a guess!? However, the article has begun to build the crooked building of "the disadvantages of coffee and flavor".

Yes, there must be something wrong with the flavor added to the food, which is clear to everyone, and every country and region focuses on the regulation of food additives. However, Qianjie Coffee believes that the key point is to openly question, expose people, Zhihu's messages and other "evidence". These are all at the stage of conjecture, except for a paragraph with no substantive proof. I have come to the conclusion that this bean has been tampered with, as if I had seen the raw bean merchant secretly add something in the dark light.

Some netizens in the background also take a "look at the evidence" attitude towards this matter.

Qianjie Coffee believes that there are three basic conditions for boutique coffee, variety, altitude and handling. In the process of processing raw beans, there is a process called anaerobic fermentation. some people have studied the effect of yeast on the fermentation effect and final flavor of coffee raw beans in the process of anaerobic fermentation. how different flavors will be produced? And natural sun-treated coffee beans, raw beans will also appear flowers, fruit, fermentation and other multiple flavor, this treatment is originally one of the ways to show the regional flavor of boutique coffee. If it is said that any operation that is unconventional, non-standard and does not refer to textbooks in the process of raw bean handling is called "tampering", then Qianjie Coffee feels that there is nothing to say.

Therefore, it is only natural that the article was questioned as soon as it was published. At this time, Coffee complains and then continues to complain: I think he has added something, does he not even have the right to question? Isn't he going to prove that there's nothing wrong with his beans? It's not my job to test beans!

Qianjie Coffee thinks that it is of course possible to ask questions. The problem is that when the incident has risen to openly questioning or even accusing people of using "illegal additives", this has already touched the legal level, and of course there must be a certain amount of evidence. In addition, it is broadcast on television that "you have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be testified in court." what does this mean? the offender cannot prove his guilt, you say that a person is guilty, everything can be convicted on the basis of the evidence that can be shown, and any normal law will not make a presumption of guilt (conviction first and then evidence) until there is evidence. Because you force an innocent person to prove his innocence, sometimes it is really scoundrel, it is as difficult as asking a lady to prove that she is a woman.

In the actual law, there is actually the relevant burden of proof-who claims, who provides proof. Whoever advocates positive facts has the burden of proof.

To put it simply: whoever claims that there is something wrong with beans, he must first cite the relevant evidence, at least there must be a relevant test report, rather than empty words: so many people say there is something wrong with it! Then there must be something wrong with it. On the other hand, the suppliers and producers of beans should claim that their beans are fine, and they also have to give their own evidence to prove that there is nothing wrong with their beans.

In this way, a certain person really can not justifiably ask others to prove themselves first.

Qianjie Coffee thinks the way the problem is discussed is really important. Going back to the discussion of whether something has been added, there is no valid evidence to prove that musician series coffee beans do add flavors or other food additives, which does not rise to the height of whether they contain harmful substances. Generally speaking, the vast majority of food additives can be detected, and the cost of a test is about 1000 to 2000 yuan. In response to comments, the author also mentioned that the bean merchant destroyed the evidence so he could not test it. It seemed as if he had seen it with his own eyes. The front street coffee did not see it. What the front street coffee saw was that Mozart raw beans and cooked beans were still sold on Taobao. It's just that it's been fired very expensive. Of course, the actual test does not require a lot of beans.

Some contents of the article also mentioned that "pineapple peel" was added, and so on. Qianjie Coffee admired these speculators very much. They all saw the "illegal operation" with their own eyes, and did not stop it on the spot, nor did they retain the evidence, but dragged their friends to complain secretly. I don't think this kind of mindset is good. See other people do bad things (such as adding Phoenix peel? ), we must find ways to stop it. Coffee beans have some strange flavors. I don't know how Qianjie coffee came into being, and people from Qianjie coffee and black gold don't know each other, but in the book Great Coffee, Mr. Xu Guoming of Black Gold says the following words. Qianjie Coffee knows the best about black gold.

The musician series coffee beans do taste strange, but the front street coffee is not sure whether there is anything added to the musician series coffee beans; if it can be proved, it is definitely a good thing to expose the sin in the sun, but at the same time, it is also a sin to make baseless accusations at will. I hope that everyone will be cautious in their words and deeds, be responsible for their own words and deeds, and clearly distinguish between right and wrong before being fair.
