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

Recently I received this small gift, male beans and coffee beans from Bali. What? Male beans? There are also male and female coffee beans? In fact, it is not. Male and female coffee beans are only commonly called. In fact, it should be said that "round beans" and "lentils" would be better. As for the appearance of the whole male bean is oval, the groove in the middle is smaller after baking, while the appearance of the mother bean is slightly flat, and the groove in the middle is more obvious after baking. According to the local factory, only about 1 kilogram of beans can be selected out of every 300 kilograms of coffee beans, which makes them even more valuable.

Bali Gold Free Gold Coffee beans (Bean)

I have been to the Golden Coffee Factory in Bali, where the boss will be very enthusiastic to show you the production process of coffee beans and tell you what are raw beans and what are the baking methods? How to grind? How to make coffee... Finally, make a large portion of coffee in an American coffee machine. All visitors taste it. Maybe it was an American coffee machine, which didn't seem to be able to taste the taste difference between male beans and mother beans on the spot, so I only bought ordinary golden coffee beans at that time, but not male beans. But this time someone sent this bean to taste, of course, can not give up this good opportunity, so …

1. Check that the bags are complete, have CO2 vents, and are not broken.

two。 Check the grease on the surface of coffee beans

3. Put coffee beans into a bean grinder to grind them with different fineness.

4. Then use the Italian coffee machine to make a few cups of espresso to taste it.

A comparison between female beans (first from left) and public beans (first from right) and second from right

In the picture, the first bean on the left is a general lentil (mother bean), and two on the right are round beans (male beans), so do you see the difference between male beans and female beans?

Using the espresso boiled from Bali beans, the dark brown crema on the surface is not bad.

This is a freshly cooked espresso. I tried several grinding scales and finally used double espresoo which was quenched for about 30 seconds. I didn't cook much, mainly because I wanted to taste the original taste of the beans. After tasting, I feel that maybe the beans came across the sea to Taiwan, and they are also slightly or moderately baked. The amount of crema is not much, but the taste is good. It can show what the local factory commentator said is not bitter, not sour, and very mild taste, while the difference with mother beans (lentils) can only be described as more "delicate", but the price of male beans is much more expensive than that of mother beans, so is it worth buying and drinking extravagantly? It depends on where your demands are.
