If you love coffee, you must have seen all kinds of statements about coffee in various media or reports. which are right and which are wrong? Today, let's have a good understanding of coffee and correct some understanding of coffee.

Q1: is coffee as bitter as possible?

A1: the taste of coffee includes several dimensions of sour, sweet, bitter, sweet and alcohol. the taste of coffee beans from different areas is different, in addition to the unique properties of coffee beans, the roasting degree of coffee beans, the fineness of coffee powder grinding, water temperature, brewing speed, techniques, and so on, all determine the flavor of a cup of coffee.

Coffee from some places, such as Manning, is famous for its mellow taste, and the bitterness of the taste is obvious. African beans are sour, but the bitterness is less prominent.

We sometimes drink coffee as bitter as traditional Chinese medicine because:

1. It's baked too deep.

two。 The water temperature is too high

3. When making coffee, the current is too slow and too small.

4. The proportion of powder and water is not right.

5. It takes too long. Wait.

So, it all shows that this cup of coffee has failed to brew, so do you still think the more bitter the coffee, the better?

Q2: will coffee turn black?

A2: there are no studies showing that the melanin in coffee deposits under the human skin.

The main ingredients of coffee beans contain caffeine, which stimulates the central nervous system, heart and respiratory system.

The right amount of caffeine can also reduce muscle fatigue, at the same time, it will promote kidney function, diuretic effect, and help the body to expel excess sodium ions from the body. Caffeine accelerates metabolism, promotes digestion and improves constipation. From the point of view of these functions, it can also help improve the roughness of the skin.

Of course, drinking coffee to stay up late, leading to a long-term lack of sleep, making the skin metabolism disorder, will also make the skin dim and lose luster, so the bad skin is not the fault of coffee.

Q3: the stronger the coffee, the more refreshing it is?

A3: in the cartoon "Cat and Mouse", Tom poured coffee into his stomach all night to catch Jack until his eyes turned black. Is it really good to drink like that?
