Is it true that the cheaper the coffee beans, the richer the fat? Is Arabica coffee beans greasy?

No special ingredients, bean seeds and baking determine the richness of the oil. The price of Robusta is low and fat is thick. But fat does not determine the quality of a cup of coffee.

The evaluation criteria need to be changed. In the final analysis, the quality of concentrated beans depends on the taste. And the evaluation criteria of grease are becoming less and less important in the competition.

The reason why we used to take fat as the standard is also because the beans used to be baked more deeply.

The fat, mellow thickness and sweetness of coffee will increase with the increase of roasting degree (that is, the color is darker and darker).

The flavor of coffee and the aroma of beans will weaken with the increase of roasting degree.

● why inferior bean oil will be particularly rich, but also because the bean itself is not good taste, aroma is not good, improve the baking degree to increase its mellow thickness, sweetness, weaken the flavor and so on.

In the past, concentrated beans would add a little Robota beans appropriately, in order to increase the intensity of coffee oil and taste, or to reduce the cost.

Nowadays, most of the roasted coffee beans choose light or medium roasting, and fewer and fewer beans are roasted deeply.

At present, the level of coffee cultivation, the level of handling raw beans is getting higher and higher, and the taste of beans is getting better and better. Therefore, baking pays more attention to the prominence of flavor, which is bound to give up the taste senses that increase with the increase of the degree of baking.

The change of the times will inevitably determine the backwardness of the standard.

So if you like espresso with thick fat, strong taste and good taste, you can still choose deep-baked beans at a moderate price. (the color is very black and the surface is glossy)

If you want to feel the magic of coffee, you can choose medium-roasted coffee beans that are slightly more expensive. (the color is relatively brown and there is no glossy surface)

● freshness:

Concentrated beans, too fresh, there will be bubbles, that is not fat, can only be counted as foam.

It is best to start drinking beans after seven days of storage and finish them within a month.

Finally, be sure to buy the order-baked coffee. Fresh will taste good.

● is actually rich in coffee fat for two reasons. The first is brought by the oil of the coffee bean itself.

Arabica beans: oil accounts for about 4% of the total proportion, its characteristics, obvious flavor, good taste, requires high altitude, but low yield. Poor antiviral ability.

Robbins Tadou: oil accounts for about 10% of the total proportion, its characteristics, no obvious flavor, extremely bitter. The requirement of planting at altitude is low. High yield and strong anti-virus ability.

The second is that the coffee beans themselves are deeply roasted. The coffee itself bakes out oil. Causes the oil to be very exuberant. The flavor is obvious in spices, such as rosemary, cinnamon and so on.

Both of the above can be rich in oil, but cheap coffee beans can be made from shoddy Robota beans.

But then again, although fat is the criterion for judging a cup of ESP, it is by no means the only criterion. The main criterion for judging good or bad in espresso depends on taste. Therefore, if individuals just like bitterness and rich oil, then it is not a problem to choose coffee beans with more oil.

Colombia: Brazil, ratio 3:7

Huilan producing area of Colombia

Located in the southwest of Colombia, it is one of the major coffee growing areas. Colombia is generally 1500-1800 meters above sea level, mostly bourbon, Kaddura species, washing treatment, high density, uniform bean, full bean shape (from bean core to bean surface is thicker). Because there are famous coffee cultivation places in Huilan area, the names of various small areas have become brand names and circulated. Although the cultivation conditions in this area are also very good, the cultivation infrastructure of coffee cultivation farm and surrounding conditions is not well developed. It is a great pity that the raw bean drying equipment or washing processing facilities are not perfect. The coffee in Huilan area has a strong taste and heavy texture.

In particular, the coffee in Huilan area can be called high-quality coffee with the aroma of nuts, chocolate and caramel and suitable acidity. And caramel and other aromas and appropriate acidity can be called high-end boutique coffee.

Sirado producing area of Brazil

Brazilian coffee generally grows at an altitude of 1000-1300 meters above sea level, so its density is relatively low. Most of them are bourbon species, which are treated by half-sun. The water content is moderate, the bean is soft, and the thickness from the bean surface to the bean core is thin, so it is not suitable for baking at too high temperature. The temperature on the inner wall of the boiler will scald the bean surface, so there will be a bitter taste.

At the same time, if we want to show the characteristics of good thickness of nuts, milk chocolate and alcohol, and serve as a matching base, we choose to throw beans over medium heat, keep the firepower to the stage of dehydration, and fine-tune as the temperature rises after the first explosion. promote the caramelization reaction more fully, heating up to near the second explosion can arrange beans.

Flavor features: comfortable sweet and bitter taste, the entrance is very smooth; with a hint of grass, the fragrance is slightly bitter; smooth and smooth, the aftertaste can be comfortable.

The flavor after matching: sweet taste. Using medium-deep baking, when concentrated, the taste will be soft, slightly sour, sweet, nutty, the overall feeling will not be too exciting, peaceful, grease belongs to medium.
