Coffee powder: recommended for "people who want to enjoy coffee more easily and quickly"

For people who drink coffee every day, there may not be a lot of time to grind coffee beans, and coffee powder can quickly make you enjoy a cup of coffee. However, coffee powder is more likely to deteriorate than coffee beans, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate container to store it. However, even well-preserved coffee powder cannot match the taste of coffee beans in terms of freshness and flavor.

The preservation of coffee beans and coffee powder will be described in the second half of this article. For coffee lovers, you must look at it together!

Choose your favorite flavor.

Although the above introduces the advantages and disadvantages of coffee beans and coffee powder, the most important thing is to choose the taste you like. Let's talk about coffee flavor selection points.

Single origin coffee or blend coffee from multiple origins

Coffee beans from each region have different flavors, which can be generally divided into "single coffee" using coffee beans from a single region and "mixed coffee" combining several single coffee beans. Depending on the manufacturer's blend ratio, a variety of coffee blends are produced, such as mocha coffee, Kilimanjaro coffee blend and so on.

Therefore, when choosing coffee flavors, we can know the flavor of this pack of coffee through the origin label on the product packaging. However, many times the manufacturer does not necessarily indicate all the origins, and it is difficult to know the origin of the coffee at this time.

The degree of roasting also affects the acidity and bitterness of coffee

The degree of roasting of coffee beans is also an important factor in determining the taste of coffee, and different roasting times will affect the appearance and taste of coffee beans. The longer the baking time, the lighter the acidity and the stronger the bitterness. Then, a brief introduction is given to the roasting degree of coffee.

Generally speaking, very light Roast (also known as light Roast), light Roast (also known as cinnamon roast), medium roast (also known as slightly roast) coffee has a strong acidity, suitable for making American coffee or coffee blend. Moderately dark roast (High Roast), medium deep roast (City Roast) has moderate acidity and bitterness, most people accept, suitable for making Blue Mountain or Brazilian coffee.

Full City Roast and French Roast, which continue to deepen, have a strong, bitter taste and are suitable for tasting with milk. The Italian Roast, which has the longest baking time, is bitter and intense, with intense roasted and burnt flavors.

In this way, even if the degree of roasting and time are different, the taste of coffee will vary greatly, so this is also one of the important indicators when choosing coffee.

In addition to the actual test drink, you can also refer to the word-of-mouth evaluation.

However, even if the origin and roasting degree are confirmed, it is difficult to imagine how the coffee tastes without actually drinking it. In the physical store we can judge through the aroma or taste of the scene, but if it is online shopping, it is recommended to refer to the comments and word of mouth of netizens.

Although everyone's preferences are different, it's not that other people's NO.1 will suit your taste, but we can still judge by adjectives such as "This coffee is more sour than zero zero,""This coffee can be drunk,""This coffee and milk are excellent combinations," and so on.

Choose according to different drinking methods and situations

We can also choose different coffees according to different drinking methods or with different drinking situations.

Just add milk or sugar to coffee and it will produce different flavors.

Adding milk or sugar to coffee can add different flavors, making coffee more fragrant and smooth. Among the many types of coffee, there are also those that are especially suitable for drinking with milk or sugar, allowing you to enjoy a completely different flavor change from black coffee.

Hot coffee? Iced coffee? Coffee beans vary according to the temperature at which they are drunk.

In addition, the water temperature of brewed coffee will also affect the taste of coffee, and different types of coffee suitable for different water temperatures are also different. For example, coffee beans with a slightly deep roast (Full City Roast) are bitter than sour and have a full aroma, so they are suitable for making iced coffee to drink.

Coffee powder storage method

In order to keep coffee beans and coffee powder fresh, the correct preservation method is very important, the following is a few tips for everyone to save it!

If long-term storage is required, it is recommended to put it in an airtight container and place it in a freezer.

Coffee beans and coffee powder are affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, light or oxygen. When coffee beans are opened and exposed to air, they will gradually oxidize and deteriorate, so it is recommended to keep them in the shadow at room temperature and try to drink them within two weeks; the larger the area of coffee powder exposed to air, the higher the chance of deterioration. Therefore, whether it is coffee beans or coffee powder, it is recommended to measure the required amount of drinking before making a purchase.

However, if you can't finish drinking in a short time, you can put coffee beans in a sealed container and place them in a freezer to avoid deterioration and prolong freshness. However, it should be noted that fine coffee beans may also be affected by light due to repeated opening and closing of the refrigerator.

Can be divided into different small packages according to the amount of drinking each time

You can also use a clip-on bag if you don't have a sealed container or if the container takes up too much space in the refrigerator. However, it must be completely sealed when sub-packaging, in order to achieve the purpose of preservation. At this time, as long as it is dispensed according to the amount of each drink, it will not expose the unconsumed coffee powder or coffee beans to the air many times, which can greatly reduce the chance of deterioration.

Coffee beans or coffee powder taken from the freezer can be brewed immediately, without waiting until it returns to room temperature.
