Top ten coffee powder brands recommend:

Brands such as UCC, Nestl é, AGF, Xianyi Cup and other brands have launched instant coffee powder with different flavors, some of which are canned and some are made into small strips suitable for brewing into a cup. How to choose instant coffee powder is also a subject of knowledge. In addition to the practical selection focus, we will also select 10 popular products from many products to recommend to you, do not miss it!

Key points of selection and purchase of instant coffee powder

Choose according to the type of packaging

The way of packaging will affect the convenience of use and the quality of coffee is easy to deteriorate. Next, let us introduce to you the three main packaging methods and characteristics of instant coffee powder. I hope it can be used as a reference for your purchase.

Easy to preserve "canned" packaging

The average price per cup of canned coffee is lower than that of cup-by-cup packaging, and the intensity can be adjusted according to your own preferences, coupled with exquisite packaging and convenient storage in the refrigerator. However, as each opening of the lid of the glass jar will expose the coffee powder to oxygen, special care should be taken in preservation and use. Once used, the lid should be closed as soon as possible to avoid oxidation or moisture.

Bagged supplementary package with high CP value

Many manufacturers have launched the type of "bagged supplementary package", and high CP value is one of its major features and advantages. However, to buy this type of packaged instant coffee, you need to pour it into a storage jar for ease of use after opening it. If the commodity packaging bag itself has a chain bag function, it can also be used directly, but remember to squeeze the air out after each use, which can also achieve the effect of good preservation.

A portable package

Usually, such a small package is designed to be exactly the size of a cup of coffee, which reduces a lot of weight compared with instant coffee powder in bags or bottles, and can be carried out according to your own needs, which can be said to be a very convenient way of packaging. Each small package is sealed and stored without fear of oxidation and dampness. the disadvantage is that it may produce more garbage.

Taste varies with baking degree

Generally speaking, the roasting of coffee beans can be subdivided into eight degrees, with different flavors from light roasting to deep roasting. Lightly roasted coffee tastes more sour and less bitter; with the deeper the roasting, the bitterness of the coffee becomes stronger and stronger, making the sour taste less obvious. Since most instant coffees are mixed with several beans, you should pay more attention to the roasting degree than the origin of the beans, and then choose according to your preferences.

The aroma of coffee is also important.

The aroma of coffee when brewing is an important part of coffee tasting. Although it varies according to the type of coffee beans and everyone's subjective feelings, basically, the aroma of fresh beans is stronger, and the charming aroma of coffee is one of the most important factors that can help you concentrate or relax. However, you may not be able to further understand the taste of coffee that you have not tasted and smelled in person, so you can refer to the online evaluation of this coffee product before you buy it.

Pay attention to the mode of manufacture

At present, there are two ways to make instant coffee: spray drying and freeze drying. Depending on the way of production, not only the appearance is different, but also the aroma, taste or price will be different, so let's learn more about these two methods.

"spray drying" that can be dissolved even with water

The coffee powder made in this way is more fine and can be easily dissolved even with cold water. The "spray drying method" mainly evaporates the water of the atomized coffee liquid through hot air and condenses into powder under rapid drying, which is the most common mode of production. But also because of the high temperature in the production process, it is easy to cause the loss of aroma. The production method is not only relatively simple, but also can be produced in large quantities, and the cost is also relatively low.

The "freeze-drying method" which can better retain the aroma of coffee

Reduce the temperature of the coffee liquid to below-40 ℃ through a freezer, mash it, and then dry it in a vacuum. As the manufacturing process takes more manpower and time, the cost will also be more expensive, but the instant coffee powder made in this way can better retain the original flavor and aroma of coffee because it is not dried at high temperature.

Varieties of coffee beans

Coffee beans in the world, can be divided into three main varieties: Arabica species, Robusta species, Liberia species, although the manufacturer's label will not necessarily tell you the variety of coffee beans, but I hope you can know more about the varieties of coffee beans.

Arabica species with the highest yield

At present, Arabica is the most productive variety in the world. It is suitable for planting in the tropical mountain area of 1000m~2000m above sea level, because it is easy to be affected by climate change, so it is not easy to grow and needs more care, but also because this kind of coffee bean is full of charming acidity and aroma, it is suitable for grinding and brewing or making into other commodities, so it is a kind of high quality coffee bean.

Caffeine-rich Robusta species

It can be cultivated in the lowlands about 300m~1000m above sea level and has excellent disease resistance. compared with Arabica, it is a better variety of coffee beans to grow. It has a strong bitter taste and unique flavor, it is often used in mixed coffee products, and the content of caffeine is about 2 times that of Arabica, so it is recommended to people who like strong flavor.

The "Liberian species" that is less common in Taiwan

Compared with the first two commonly heard coffee beans, the Liberian variety is suitable for growing in hot and humid climates. Its coffee fruits and seeds are larger and have a strong aroma than Arabica, but taste slightly. It is more popular in northern Europe, but less common in Taiwan.
