How does the thickness of coffee powder affect the taste-common grinding thickness picture

Coffee is mainly made from coffee beans. There are mainly two kinds of coffee beans, one is Arabik, the other is Robusta, which is like Penglai rice, and Robusta is like rice. Robusta has a large output and a low price. Ordinary instant coffee is made by removing the water from the coffee made by Robusta by extraction. In general, the coffee we drink in coffee shops is usually ground from Arabica, which can be subdivided into several types, such as Blue Mountain Coffee and Colombian Coffee, which are often heard of, mainly due to differences in origin. Generally speaking, coffee beans are suitable for growing in tropical places. For example, Colombian coffee is grown in the mountains near the equator. In addition, the main factor affecting the quality of coffee beans is the technology of roasting raw beans, so sometimes we see the same kind of coffee beans in coffee shops, because the roasting technology is different (such as Taiwan or Europe), and the price is also different. In terms of the history of drinking coffee, Europe and the United States have a long history, so some companies have very good roasting skills, and they are known as "boutique coffee." The freshly roasted coffee beans are fresh and the brewed coffee tastes better.

Although instant coffee and ordinary coffee powder seem to be the same, there is a great difference between them, that is, soluble coffee will dissolve in water as long as it is brewed with water, so it is called instant coffee, while generally brewing coffee uses ground coffee bean powder, which is insoluble in water. There are several ways to make coffee: the more common one is to use an electric coffee machine, which first absorbs the water to heat it with a straw, and then brews the coffee through the coffee powder. The power of the electric coffee pot should be more than one kilowatt before it can be regarded as a good coffee pot, and the worse one may only be 600 watts. The other is that coffee shops often use hourglass-like alcohol lamp cooking, which makes the coffee taste the best, but to accurately handle the temperature of the hot water, if the temperature is too high, the coffee may have a charred taste. There is also a convenient way to pour hot water directly on the ground coffee powder, but the temperature is also very important, it is best to control between 85 and 92 degrees, do not brew with freshly boiled water, and it is best not to put coffee beans in the refrigerator, otherwise you may absorb the five-spice flavor in the refrigerator.

Personal coffee habit is to add milk, there is no particular type of coffee, usually go to Costco to buy coffee beans, because it is baked by Starbucks, and the price is relatively cheap, occasionally buy some special kinds of coffee beans to reward themselves, or have a cup of coffee in a coffee shop, with a delicious cake, enjoy the leisure fun of drinking coffee But getting up for coffee every morning is to cheer me up. As for whether caffeine is harmful to people? So far, no scientific research has really proved that caffeine is harmful to the human body. Mr. Guo personally does not think that coffee is a bad thing, because many things around life also contain caffeine, such as tea, cola, cold medicine and so on. The amount of coffee to drink is mainly determined by the individual's physique, and there is no answer that can be referred to, but drink the right amount, not too much and cause physical discomfort. Instant coffee also has decaffeinated or decaffeinated options, which are tampered with to remove caffeine during the extraction process. The teacher mentioned that once he went to McDonald's near Fengjia to buy coffee, but the English sign on the cup said it was decaffeinated. The teacher didn't like it, so he went to the young lady and asked, "Miss, is this decaf coffee?" The young lady unexpectedly replied: "that's funny, of course coffee has caffeine." This is probably because people who drink very little coffee will be confused.
