After less than a year of coffee brewing, the 28-year-old Wang ce won the world championship, and now he is always surrounded by people asking for autographs on coffee-related occasions, which seems lucky. However, when Wang ce set brewing coffee as a career, after repeated and careful reflection and practice, he derived a coffee philosophy that is pleasing to himself and to others.

Every aspect of boutique coffee is a creation of both reason and sensibility. Wang ce, who made a splash in his first attempt, positioned himself as a Maker, requiring that all coffee brewing must have a close relationship with him. Coming from a well-known trading coffee company, coffee has long been a part of his daily life. He sipped this black liquid for the first time since he was six years old. "Coffee has always been in my life. I have been listening to my parents. My parents have trained me to taste food since I was a child. I have to describe the taste when I eat, which will be very helpful to me in the future."

Waving goodbye to Taiwan at the age of 12, he chose to study in Britain alone, studying for a master's degree in biology and food nutrition, and then went to London's Blue Belt to get a baking diploma, learn to taste, and then work in a boutique chocolate shop. Chocolate is also about producing areas, manors, proportions, and flavor, and tasting coffee is just a shot in the door for him.

After studying in Britain and returning to Taiwan, his father arranged a systematic coffee course for him, and he also went to work at REC Coffee in Fukuoka, Japan, where he was personally processed by coffee master Iwase Iwase (Yoshikazu Iwase) to learn how to brew coffee to seek motivation from the needs of the guests he served. he even studied the feedback notes of the guests, and accumulated the seal of his coffee career. When all the conditions were in place, Wang ce was ready for the competition after a year and a half of formal contact with coffee.

The bean picking, fermentation and baking are accurate, and the cook connects the person with the producing area.

Before the game, Wang ce's team learned that in recent years, international coffee competitions, whether raw beans, roasting, coffee brewing and other events, were almost without exception the beans of Panama's Geisha (also known as geisha) got high marks. Wang ce believes that this trend is quite reasonable, and any contestant is bound to come up with beans that are bound to win, he realized. "if you don't give the judges a heavy punch, it's hard to impress them." In addition to heavy taste, the aroma / flavor / acidity / body fat / afterrhyme on the score table must be at least moderate.

In order to implement their ideas and vote for the judges' preference, Wang ce's team started from the manor, picked out the beans located in Silla de Pando in the Volcan of Panama from the more than 300 coffee beans on the cup test table, studied the processing method, and devoted more attention to the quality of the beans, and devoted themselves to producing fragrance-like aroma through fermentation, so that the flavor of coffee could evolve again. Looking back, Wang ce suggested to Taiwan coffee beans, "I think it has great potential to improve the quality of coffee beans. Taiwan coffee beans can try this method to reflect their quality."

From breaking out of the top 20 cooks in Taiwan, to competing with the top players of 41 other participating countries in the World Cup, there are only six left in the finals, and there will be more than a thousand people all the way through. Now it is in the overall process (bar management, whether clean enough, no extra movements), customer service (does it leave the judges with the impression of comfort? Are you thoughtful for the judges when drinking your coffee? Strive for high marks on projects such as). Wang ce's delicate movements that are different from others in Budapest have so far been impressive.

"you will see my eyes, naturally from the rightmost Thai female judge to the far left, everyone stays for 2 seconds." The judges all have a note board in their hands. Apart from the chief judges who are standing, Wang ce asked the three sitting judges not to take notes. "now I'm going to start describing the flavor. Please don't rush to write, but pay attention to my actions." Then, he personally handed out the menu to each judge, and the ladies first, these thoughtful actions to increase the contact between people, in order to move the judges' behavior.

Before starting to cook, he first made a warm cup action that no contestant had ever done before, took out a white glove, wore it on his right hand, took out a white towel, folded it twice, wiped the white coffee cups clean one by one, and placed the ear of the cup on the right-hand side of the judge to deliver it to the table. Later, during the lecture, Wang ce revealed the intention of every move in the competition. "this is a kind of thinking for others. ─ puts the coffee cup of the judges in the right position, because the judges will not pick up the coffee cup and smell it, but will smell it with their face. I believe most contestants should pay little attention to this."

After brewing, Wang ce also designed a special action for the judges to check whether the coffee mountains of his three filter cups were all equally high, and handed them the coffee to smell, which was different from the other contestants. It was stipulated that the cooking must be finished within 10 minutes. Finally, Wang ce cleaned up everything on the table and did not waste a touchdown in 9 minutes 59 seconds.

"the hand is a very critical factor." He pointed out that although all the parameters before cooking can be set, if the hand is unstable, all the parameters will be meaningless. Unstable hands will lead to different amounts of water each time, and the results must be different. "you have to determine the amount of water you inject each time." you have to count the number of circles, these are the details that a professional cook should pay attention to. "

At the time of the competition, Wang ce also showed his unique skill-- at the same time, he fluently held a kettle with both hands to flush water, while explaining in English through the microphone, but he first used two pots to inject water into the left and right two ceramic V60 filter cups, and then injected water into the middle judges' filter cups, which remained stable and staggered into three filter cups in more than a minute. Beautifully won the unanimous favor of all the judges.
