What's the difference between Nestle Coffee and Black Coffee? is Nestle Coffee Black?

In fact, I have no likes and dislikes for instant coffee. My biggest prejudice against him is that he tastes terrible. But the fact that he tastes bad is fragrant for many people who have never tasted the real taste of fine coffee.

Although I think this is ridiculous, and I want to cry out loudly, please spend 30 yuan to buy an earbag, and then throw away the oddly delicious instant coffee, but I feel that I will be looked down upon by many people, or that I do not know the sufferings of the people.

But it's not that I want to say, I'm not encouraging people to spend money on fine coffee, but instant coffee is obviously terrible, and it's a far cry from the original taste and spirit of coffee. If you want to save money, you might as well drink water, or drink more milk and be much healthier.

Unexpectedly, I was flipping through the health magazine that my mother had long subscribed to and read carefully today, and I was suddenly fascinated by this article: instant coffee review: three-in-one calories are 20 times as much as ground coffee (sure enough, people who want coffee every day, it's all coffee.)

The title is already very sensational. Unexpectedly, the content was even more terrible, which made me wonder if the health magazine would not deliberately scare people, or how much did it cost to take the boutique coffee association? Aren't you afraid of being killed by three-in-one coffee after writing this kind of article?

The following is reproduced from Health Magazine. Good articles are shared with you.

Evaluation of instant coffee: three-in-one calories are 20 times higher than those of ground coffee.

The convenience of three-in-one instant coffee increases the popularity of "drinking coffee". According to the survey, each Taiwanese drinks an average of about 120 cups of coffee per year, of which the most is three-in-one instant coffee (28%), followed by canned and ground coffee in convenience stores (21%).

But many people who drink three-in-one instant coffee don't pay much attention to quality. Wang Yu-wen, an assistant professor in the department of agronomy at National Taiwan University, observed that because three-in-one coffee is cheaper than ground coffee, consumers demand too high quality for low-cost products, and over time, some people don't care what they drink.

Have you ever wondered what is in instant coffee that is convenient and easy to brew? "Kangjian" collected 28 items of three-in-one, two-in-one and filter-hanging ground coffee products for analysis and comparison, discussed from the perspective of food nutrition and coffee quality, and put forward the following five reminders.

one. What you think of as sugar-free coffee is actually high in fat

Per person's daily calorie intake from fat should only account for 10% of the total calories, no more than 30% at most. When the fat-calorie ratio of a product exceeds 30%, it enters the dangerous range of "high fat", cautioned Liu Qinyu, an assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition Science at Fu Jen University.

In the investigation and analysis, Kangjian found that whether it is three-in-one or two-in-one coffee, the proportion of fat content is almost all too high. Calculated from the nutrition labeling data of the market three-in-one coffee, the real pot Mantenin and Benazon classic Mantenin.

What is even more amazing is that behind the "sugar-free" two-in-one coffee, there is actually the truth of "high fat". You may think that sugar-free two-in-one coffee is healthier, but the numbers can talk. Two-in-one coffee all have more than 30% fat calories, and even more than 50% of fat calories in the real pot classic sugar-free two-in-one and UCC charcoal-fired two-in-one. Compared with filter-mounted grinded coffee, which kind of coffee you drink determines your fat intake.

Three-in-one instant coffee

two. Convenient three-in-one and two-in-one, containing 60% Murray 80% cream and sugar

Cream, sugar and coffee beans all have carbohydrates. Comparing the content of carbohydrates (sugar density), it was found that the proportion of carbohydrates in three-in-one, two-in-one and filter-hung coffee differed 6 times and 8 times, and the difference was sugar and cream.

Take filter coffee as an example, the sugar density is 0.1, which means that only 1 gram of a packet of 10 grams of coffee powder is carbohydrate and comes from the coffee itself.

However, three-in-one coffee and two-in-one coffee are completely different. The sugar density of three-in-one coffee is as high as 0.7 and 0.8, that is to say, in a 20-gram three-in-one coffee, 16 grams are carbohydrates, and most of them come from sugar and cream, almost like sugary drinks.

Although two-in-one coffee has no sugar, cream also has carbohydrates, so the sugar density is slightly lower than that of three-in-one coffee, but it is also around 0.6. only the charcoal-fired two-in-one of UCC is lower (sugar density 0.4).

If the portion difference is not taken into account, the calorie of each brand of three-in-one coffee in a single package can reach 1.6 times; compared with filter coffee, the calorie difference is more than 20 times.

Take the UCC original flavor comprehensive convenient brewing coffee (filter hanging type) as an example, the calories are only 4 calories, but the calories of UCC's selected comprehensive three-in-one are 78.6 calories, a difference of 20 times; Seattle instant manning and Benazon classic mantenin are both more than 90 calories, the difference is as much as 23 times.

The calorie density is the heat generated per gram of food, if the density is more than 4, it is a high-calorie food.

The survey found that:

The calorie density of each brand of ▼ three-in-one coffee exceeds the standard.

The number of ▼ two-in-one coffee is polarized. it is true that the calorie density of UCC and Benazon sugar-free two-in-one coffee is a little low, which is 3.8 and 3.2 respectively, but the calorie density of Nestl é and Brown two-in-one coffee has risen to more than 5.

The calorie density of ▼ filter coffee varies from 0.4 to 0.6.

In the process of data analysis, it was also found that the calorie labels of some brands were different from those calculated according to the actual calculation of the three major nutrients. Liu Qinyu said bluntly, "how can we let consumers know what is in coffee?"

three. Unable to verify the quality and content of coffee

In fact, instant coffee powder, whether three-in-one or two-in-one, has the disadvantage of insufficient aroma from the very beginning. "the most important thing in drinking coffee is the aroma, but the aroma will be destroyed in the freeze-drying process of instant coffee, leaving only a bitter taste," said Zhuang Hongzhang, who won the 2010 Asian Coffee Masters Competition and is now deputy manager of Man Coffee.

Both Zhuang Hongzhang and Wang Yuwen suspect that the coffee beans used to make three-in-one and two-in-one coffee may be the lowest quality beans, because in terms of price, low-cost coffee is difficult to have both quality.

Wang Yuwen estimated the factory price as the retail price of 1/4. Assuming that a pack of three-in-one is 12 yuan, the factory price is 3 yuan, deducting the packaging is 1 yuan, as well as sugar, cream and profit, coffee is only about 50 cents. But making a cup of 120cc grinded coffee costs 10 grams of 7 Murray beans, 45 cups of coffee for 1 pound, and 9 yuan for a pound of coffee beans. So it is the ratio of 9 yuan to 50 cents for coffee, in other words, the cost of ground coffee is 18 times that of three-in-one.

And when it is ground and mixed with sugar and cream, the three-in-one coffee makes it more difficult to judge the quality of coffee.

Would it be better if you choose to use the three-in-one quality of Arabica coffee beans? That's not necessarily true, Wang Yuwen explained. Variety does not represent quality assurance, because quality is also related to collection technology and quality control. Zhuang Hongzhang warned that of course you can choose Arabica, but it is impossible to confirm whether its content is 100% or 5 Murray 10%.

How to judge the content of coffee? According to the Food Hygiene Management Law, when there are two or more kinds of food contents, they should be marked according to their contents from high to low. Therefore, the one with the most usage ranks first and the one with the least.

According to the analysis of the three-in-one and two-in-one contents of various brands, it is either "cream, sugar, coffee" or "sugar, cream, coffee". Only Seattle instant latte and mochat three-in-one coffee ingredients rank first.

Two-in-one coffee is mainly composed of UCC charcoal roasted two-in-one and mocha sugar-free latte, and the rest are "cream, instant coffee".

four. In addition to cream and sugar, there are starch and spices.

Liu Qinyu points out that the biggest problem with three-in-one coffee is cream. The ingredients of most three-in-one coffee are cream, granulated sugar and instant coffee, which appear to be simple, but in fact cream contains artificial additives such as glucose syrup, hydrogenated vegetable oil, casein sodium, stabilizer, emulsifier and anti-caking agent.

In addition to the complex ingredients of cream, in fact, "three-in-one" coffee is "six in one" or even "seven in one". Because some products add pigments, spices, salt, etc., and some add starch additives such as maltodextrin and dextrin fiber to increase the consistency of coffee, Liu Qinyu said. Among them, Benazon classic Mantenin's sugar-free two-in-one coffee, but also added the sweetener ─ maltol. In the plasticizer incident, all kinds of syrup and emulsifiers are artificial additives that make people smell, and some sugar substitutes are also controversial about health hazards. If you want to eat real food, you'd better stay away from artificial additives.

five. How to make a good cup of coffee by yourself?

When we really don't have time and want to make three-in-one and two-in-one coffee simply and quickly, is there a smarter and healthier way to drink it? "No!" The experts said categorically. "We don't drink it and we don't dare to drink it. after drinking ground coffee, we can't go back when we know it's good," Wang Yu-wen sighs.

Zhuang Hongzhang has stopped touching three-in-one coffee since he came into contact with ground coffee. Wang Yu-wen hasn't had a three-in-one drink in nearly 20 years, and at most he takes a filter-style coffee bag with him when he goes abroad.

If you want to make your own coffee, coffee experts suggest you master the following three points.

Hang the earbag

1 choose the filter-hanging ground coffee with simple ingredients. Wang Yuwen suggests that filter coffee is a convenient choice for people who don't have the time and equipment to make coffee. But it is best to buy the earbags made by the coffee shop, because compared with the big food companies, the coffee shop has a smaller market and less inventory, and the coffee powder will be relatively fresh, and you can check the powder for abnormal shape and smell fuel consumption before drinking it.

(2) the smart filter cup uses the follicle principle, which saves time and does not need to practice the technique. Zhuang Hongzhang uses a smart filter cup when he has no time to make coffee slowly, similar to the traditional coffee filter cup but with a tenon at the bottom of the cup. Just put the filter paper on the cup, pour in the coffee powder, rinse hot water and stir for 1 minute. Put the filter cup on the mug, and the card tenon buckle begins to drip and filter. Before and after 5 minutes, you can make 2mur4-person coffee.

For those who are not used to black coffee, it is recommended to choose good sugar and milk and add it appropriately. Wang Yu-wen suggests that using fine rock sugar will not affect the original taste of coffee, while Chuang Hung-chang likes to use marshmallow. "with fructose, the taste can be very pure but the aroma can be suppressed; with granulated sugar, the taste of coffee can rise; and marshmallow can connect coffee and milk beautifully."

As for milk, fresh milk is the first choice.

If you want to be healthier, Liu Qinyu suggests adding low-fat fresh milk. She will make a cup of filter-hanging coffee every morning, about 1 cup of coffee with her husband, and then add 4 cups of low-fat fresh milk or sugar-free soy milk.

If none of the above methods are suitable for you, you still want to buy three-in-one or two-in-one instant coffee. It is recommended to check whether coffee is listed first on the food label on the package, and make sure there are no additives other than cream and sugar.
