This time, three types of coffee beans

Ikea Batal Deep Roasted Coffee Beans

Starbucks medium roast coffee beans

Starbucks reroasted beans

The three coffee beans selected for this test are mostly used by coffee shops to extract espresso coffee and then prepare various coffee drinks. Starbucks Coffee is one of the staunch supporters of the coffee "Gold Cup Square Distance" theory, and by adjusting the ratio of coffee powder to water, it has found the optimal brewing ratio: between 1:17.3 and-1: 18.64, known as Starbucks Honey Point.

Using the "gold cup square" theory, Wacaco invented a Minipress portable coffee machine that does not require expensive electric compression. Coffee novices can extract strong espresso coffee. Today's test was conducted using Wacaco Minipress.

First extracted is IKEA Batal coffee, compared with Starbucks coffee rebaking powder, IKEA Batal deep baking powder color is lighter, but with Starbucks coffee honey point theory is comparable, Nordic coffee industry also has its own coffee follicle quality control standard, called "Norway concentrated powder increase amount," if you need to extract IKEA Batal coffee from Northern Europe, you must work hard to control the amount of powder, according to the "gold cup square distance" in the intuitive oblique line, To meet the "Norway enrichment" standard, it takes 53 grams of Batal coffee powder to extract coffee that meets Nordic standards.

Of course, grinding coffee powder a little or increasing the water temperature can significantly increase the extraction rate, it is also possible to increase the concentration and save the amount of powder without increasing the coffee powder, but everything is done according to the standard, easy to overcorrect, increase the sour, bitter, salty and astringent taste of coffee.

Batar extraction results: coffee fat foam rich, sour than bitter, sweet fruit fragrance, visible tannin thick, visible Nordic coffee although good strong, but do not like bitter, coffee beans used also like coffee beans from some South American coffee production.

The extraction results of roasted beans in Starbucks showed that coffee oil foam is fine, compared with IKEA coffee, foam color is darker, acidity is not obvious, bitter taste, sweet pine, hazelnut flavor, coffee aroma is more obvious than IKEA coffee.

Finally, Starbucks rebaked beans: coffee fat foam more fine, and more concentrated color, sour basically removed, the entrance will have a strong pine flavor, chocolate flavor, from this old taste can be seen! It can also be seen why so many people are used to drinking sour hand-brewed coffee. Why don't they buy a Dove? Why pay so much for Starbucks chocolate?
