Many newlyweds want coffee, but they don't know how to distinguish coffee and what's the difference between different kinds of coffee. The most basic, a few yuan a bar of instant coffee, cheap and affordable, but always heard that it is not very healthy, ordinary black coffee is very fragrant, but it is a bit complicated to make, it is difficult for beginners to master. Moreover, there is no actual comparison, and I don't know which kind of coffee to like and which kind of coffee to choose. So today's Qianjie Coffee, let's take a look at the difference between the legendary "caffeine"-instant coffee and ordinary black coffee. Instant coffee is really unhealthy.

In fact, most of the late-night parties, overtime workers and office workers drink instant coffee. In the eyes of every barista, instant coffee is often looked down upon. In the barista's world, instant coffee and coffee are two completely different things. So what's the difference between instant coffee and traditional black coffee?

Differences in preparation processes

Instant coffee: instant coffee is operated in industrial batches, so the screening of coffee beans may not be so fine and will inevitably be mixed with impurities. After being roasted in large quantities, coffee beans are dried into soluble substances of small particles by some means, such as freeze-drying or high-pressure pulping spray. In order to ensure the stability of the whole process, a series of stabilizers, flavors, stabilizers and edible disinfectants will be added.

Ordinary black coffee: the production of ordinary black coffee is relatively less complex and industrialized. after picking coffee fruits, coffee farmers are washed or insolated, peeled and made into raw coffee beans, then packaged and sold, and then roasted in the hands of customers. the baking process is generally more exquisite and exquisite.

Differences in composition

Instant coffee: if it is instant black coffee, then in addition to coffee extract plants, there will be a small amount of additives to maintain the stability of instant coffee or to enhance the flavor of instant coffee. If it is two-in-one or three-in-one coffee, it will add more additives, such as plant fat powder (that is, cream) as well as emulsifiers, antagonists, glucose syrup and flavors.

Ordinary black coffee: the ingredients of ordinary black coffee are extracted purely from the coffee bean itself. In addition to sugars, fats and proteins, there are also trace elements such as caffeine, tannins and alkaloids.

The difference in flavor

Instant coffee: the aroma of instant coffee will lose too much in the preparation process, so additives will be used to increase flavor. In addition, instant coffee is mainly made of robusta beans with low price and slightly poor quality. The flavor is mainly industrial essence.

Ordinary black coffee: due to different producing areas, different ordinary black coffee will have a variety of natural flavors, floral or fruity, or a variety of nut chocolate flavor. Drink into the mouth, the flavor is long.

Different brewing methods

Instant coffee: hot water instant drink, powder completely soluble in water, generally 85 degrees Celsius water temperature is the best, good quality instant soluble in water is without any impurities.

Ordinary black coffee: coffee powder can be extracted in different ways to extract the flavor we need. Such as hand flushing or dripping.

Their respective advantages

Instant coffee: instant coffee is a little bit more convenient.

Ordinary black coffee: a more natural drink, healthier without additives.

Their respective shortcomings

Instant coffee: many kinds of video additives are carcinogenic, and the production process of plant fat powder, that is, cream, will be accompanied by unsaturated fatty acids, which is very bad for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and long-term drinking is also bad for the liver. In addition, no matter how good the instant flavor is, it is difficult to compete with ordinary black coffee.

Ordinary black coffee: the production of ordinary black coffee is relatively complex, and the maintenance and cleaning of all kinds of utensils are too cumbersome. In addition, the preservation of coffee beans need to be paid attention to. It's a little troublesome.

To sum up, if you have a strong concept of health and want to pursue a better taste experience and add some refinement to your otherwise boring daily life, Magpie sincerely suggests that if conditions permit, try freshly brewed coffee bravely and want to open the door to this new world. It's not difficult.
