Front Street Coffee talk about some misunderstandings you need to know about drinking coffee

Coffee beans as fresh as possible?

In general, we still think that coffee beans are as fresh as possible, because ripe coffee beans contain a lot of volatile aromas, and the longer they are stored, the more these aromas volatilize, which is an irreversible reaction that cannot be completely stopped.

However, this is not to say that as soon as the coffee beans are roasted, it is best to brew them immediately. The coffee can't be too fresh.

For most coffee, it takes a period of time (2murmur3 days) to complete an exhaust process to remove the gas that enters the inside of the coffee beans during roasting, a process we call "growing beans".

Only the coffee beans after "raising beans" is the peak state of the fullest aroma and flavor.

Must be better to brew coffee by hand than by machine?

This is a very popular misconception.

Of course, we can not deny that hand brewing can well show the essential flavor and characteristics of coffee. However, if what we need is a cup of coffee with rich and full flavor, or if we need coffee with multiple variations, we must choose machine-brewed espresso (espresso). To get a cup of coffee with a strong flavor. This is where the ruler is short and the inch is strong.

An important factor that espresso depends on is the professionalism of baristas, as does hand-brewed coffee. there is no difference between the two different brewing methods, only professional or not.

Drinking black coffee hurts your stomach?

Although most coffee lovers think that drinking black coffee can best taste the beauty of coffee, so it is not recommended to add sugar or milk to cover up the original flavor of coffee, but some people think that drinking black coffee is easy to hurt the stomach.

Some people feel uncomfortable with the stomach and intestines after drinking coffee, mainly affected by caffeine, such as caffeine stimulates the dilator muscle at the lower end of the esophagus, making it more relaxed, which in turn causes gastroesophageal reflux, or caffeine causes a large amount of gastric acid secretion, causing discomfort.

The culprit is caffeine, so it has nothing to do with adding milk, and some people who drink milk have more severe symptoms, so people with digestive tract diseases, such as stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers, or people who produce a lot of stomach acid every time they drink coffee, it is better to avoid coffee and drink less coffee.
