Like most people, I started with instant coffee. In my time, at the end of every semester, I relied on instant coffee all the way down, refreshing and fragrant. I even knew what books I read in the handsome pot on the other side.

When it comes to instant coffee, everyone's first reaction is sweet. If you say so, instant coffee will not be happy. At least there are many branches in the family system. Not all of them are sweet, ok? look at the genealogy ↓.

For a little popular science, due to the cost, most instant coffee uses Robusta beans, which is bitter and mellow, which is slightly inferior to the Arabica beans used in freshly ground coffee.

Italian concentrate (Espresso)

Steam pressure is used to push hot water over the coffee powder layer to extract a rich coffee liquid. at first, this early Italian coffee machine was only used in coffee shops, which could make a cup of coffee to customers more quickly, hence the name espresso (made for you now).

Espresso has many defined benchmarks, some more broad, others more stringent. I personally prefer the conclusion of a survey conducted by baristas in the United States that nearly 70% of people choose 1:2 powder to drink best, and more than 60% choose 25: 30 seconds to drink best. and nearly 60% chose to extract with 18g powder.

At the same time, concentration is the basis for all espresso. Any coffee that is not up to standard, no matter how beautiful it is, is not delicious, so you can only take a picture and send it to your moments to pay for it.

American coffee (Americano)

American coffee originated during World War II, when the US military drank Italian concentration, it felt too strong, so it asked to add some hot boiled water to the coffee, diluted to the taste acceptable to Americans, known as American coffee. Many years later, Australians thought that hot boiled water would taste better if it was concentrated. However, there is no obvious difference in taste between the two methods. If it is condensed, the upper layer of fat looks better.

I have heard all kinds of opinions about how much water American coffee takes, from 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7 to 1:8. I am used to diluting Espresso from its gold cup standard concentration of 8% 12% to the upper limit of the gold cup standard concentration of single coffee (1.4% 1.5%). This may also be the reason why many guests say that my American style is the same as drinking a single drink.

Cappuccino (Cappuccino)

Cappuccino is defined as concentrated: milk: foam = 1:1:1, I try to do it myself, it's really bad. However, most of the domestic stores produce 240ml-300ml, and some boutique coffee shops are 150ml-200ml. It seems difficult to find a unified standard.

Cappuccino is the designated milk coffee in the barista contest, it tastes really good when it's done, and it will be bad if you don't do it well. Personally, I think it should be adjusted and made according to the specific use of coffee beans and delicious according to the competition standard of WBC 150-180ml.

Finally, really don't ask me why my cappuccino cup is so small. I really can't strike a balance between a good cup and a large cup.

Latte (Coffee Latte)

Latte is the most familiar espresso in China, which simply means coffee (coffee) + milk (latte).

Latte means milk in Italian. If you order a latte in Italy, the waiter will only give you a glass of milk. Next time remember to order a latte and say, "Boss, have a latte without milk!"

Fu Ruibai (Flat White)

In a nutshell, it's a small, stronger latte. Australians say it belongs to his family, New Zealanders say it belongs to his family. There are also a variety of domestic coffee shop translators: Australian white, plain white, fragrant white, white coffee.

Most people want to drink a cup of coffee but are afraid of being too bitter, so they are usually deceived by the word "white" (I won't tell you that many years ago, I ordered a cup of white coffee.), it turns out to be more bitter than lattes and cabs.

Caramel macchiato (Carame Macchiato)

Love sweet lady's favorite. Note that Carame Macchiato and Macchiato are two very different things.
