Tasting coffee is a very pleasant and personal behavior. Some people feel coffee with the taste of the tongue, while others enjoy the aromatic alcohol in the mouth. in addition, it depends on the condition of the body and the surrounding atmosphere when drinking coffee. But no matter how you want to drink coffee, there is some fastidiousness and knowledge in tasting a cup of coffee. A good cup of coffee in front of you, but not in a hurry to drink, should be like tea or wine tasting, there should be a gradual process, but also can achieve the real goal of relaxation, refreshing and enjoyment.

Coffee Taste Tip 1: don't wear lipstick and drink it at night

Many people dress up before a big meal. What about coffee? Strictly speaking, a good cup of coffee also requires preparation.

In particular, women are not allowed to wear perfume and lipstick, not only in cafes, but also in dinners. if you want to seriously taste a good meal or a good cup of coffee, both are taboos, which is also a respect for chefs or baristas. Perfume is easy to interfere with the smell of coffee, while the oil of lipstick will make coffee oily and affect the taste.

If there is more sincerity, coffee fanatics might as well try to scrape off their tongue coating before going to the cafe to fully revive the taste buds. Um... If you're embarrassed, just pretend the editor didn't say it.

In addition, the timing of drinking coffee is very important. many people do not like to drink coffee at night and worry about not sleeping, but in addition to personal physical factors, robusta beans generally contain one to two times as much caffeine as Arabica beans. Robusta beans are usually used to make canned drinks, and most of these coffee advertisements are aimed at refreshing.

If you drink Arabica beans instead of robusta beans, the situation should not be too serious, but because after drinking coffee, the whole person falls asleep because of the fragrant smell. I believe that many partners in the coffee industry will try the experience of falling asleep after drinking coffee.

Coffee is not suitable for drinking as soon as you brush your teeth in the morning, it will only taste like black toothpaste or Colgate. Coffee is not suitable for fasting drinking, caffeine will accelerate intestinal peristalsis, fasting drinking is easy to produce hunger, serious can also cause stomachache.

The second secret of tasting coffee: three tips for beginners, water is the key.

After coffee beginners enter the cafe, there are three tips to make good use of: the first is water, the second is the degree of baking, and the third is notes.

Water not only quenches thirst, but also provides mouth-clearing function ── to remove the original residual smell from the mouth, sometimes taste more than a cup of coffee, water is also the cutting point between coffee and coffee.

As a matter of fact, water also contains a password, and if the store serves lemonade instead of water, it may represent unprofessional. The acidity of lemonade or the bitterness of lemon peel will increase the bitterness of either light-roasted or deep-roasted coffee. And if the store is willing to provide ice water is the best, ice water can enhance the sensitivity of taste buds. The second is the baking degree. MENU, a cafe, has written a lot of inexplicable varieties, producing areas, and place names, and if it's not clear, start on a large scale: choose deep or light baking, which determines the main taste.

Take steak as an example, deep roasting is like steak medium well and well-done, which fully shows the charred and bitter taste of coffee, but the disadvantage is that everything is covered by the bitter taste, so it is hard to see the original characteristics; while shallow roasting is like medium rare and medium, it retains the original aroma of coffee, but the acidity will also be more obvious. This is why many cafe owners see guests with the first words: "do you like to drink sour or bitter?" "

In the early years, coffee was mixed in freshness, quality, transportation and preservation, and the technology of baking beans was not developed. Like fish, fish are fried, sweet and sour if they are not fresh, so cafes offer more deep-roasted coffee. Now there are not a few coffee beans airlifted, and the new caf é has set off a wave of shallow baking.

Finally, record the name, roasting degree and taste of the coffee you drink, and have your own coffee notes, which will make you stronger and stronger.

The third secret of tasting coffee: break the misunderstanding of drinking while it is hot and pay attention to the aroma at the bottom of the cup.

Drinking coffee is only part of the taste of coffee, so a little more skill in drinking can get a better picture of the whole picture of coffee.

The first is "dry aroma". The prelude to coffee has been unveiled as soon as the coffee beans are ground into powder, which is one of the items that will be carried out in the official cup test (cup evaluation). The same bean can judge whether the coffee bean is fresh by the strong or weak aroma of coffee powder. If the aroma is strong, it is fresh, and vice versa.

Therefore, it is only natural and natural to tell the shopkeeper the important news of "dry aroma", and it is also the rights and interests of consumers. The aroma of coffee powder is not only strong or weak, but also provides the pleasure of feeling the fragrance. You are likely to smell jerky, chocolate, flowers or fruits and nuts. The most important thing is the taste of drinking coffee. The taste of sweet, sour, bitter and salty coffee is the key to unlock the fragrance. As for how to drink, it can be found on the Internet. A more important idea is that coffee should be drank in different periods, rather than "coffee should be drunk while it is hot" as many people think. Coffee liquid shows different changes at high, medium and low temperature, which is also the standard procedure for cup testing and is a very professional practice.

After drinking the coffee, don't forget to enjoy the aroma of dry coffee left at the bottom of the cup, which is very charming, which is different from the dry and wet aroma, even the bottom and rim of the cup can feel two different aromas.

Coffee, for some people, may just be a refreshing drink, but for real coffee fans, it is a refreshing and refreshing boutique! So, no matter how others look at you, use the posture you feel most comfortable and enjoy, to taste what is in the cup!
