Qianjie-introduction to the difference between individual products and matching

Espresso (Espresso) or espresso is a type of coffee with a strong taste by brewing coffee with extremely hot but non-boiling hot water under high pressure and grinding it into a very fine coffee powder.

By definition, espresso has a thicker texture than dripping coffee and contains more dissolved matter per unit volume than dripping coffee; supply is usually calculated in terms of "shot". Espresso is chemically complex and changeable, many of which decompose due to oxidation or a drop in temperature. A feature of properly brewed espresso is the presence of coffee fat (crema), a reddish-brown foam that floats on the surface of espresso. It consists of vegetable oils, proteins and sugars. Coffee fat has the combination of emulsion and foam colloid.

Through the short-time and high-pressure brewing process, the unique flavor of a cup of coffee is stronger than other brewing equipment after being concentrated. However, there is less caffeine because of the short quenching time. Espresso is often used as the basis for coffee drinks mixed with other ingredients (such as milk or cocoa), such as lattes, cappuccinos, macchiato and mocha, without over-diluting the coffee.

Single cup of coffee

As its name suggests: single origin, indeed, the same variety of coffee beans from the same origin have come to your cup. If you are a black coffee lover and are reading this article, you may think, "I am often asked this question, why do you have to pay an extra $0.50 per cup of black coffee?"

The problem is very simple. Individual coffee is typical of specialty coffee; they are seasonal (and therefore production is limited), and they are often used by farmers, roasters and baristas to showcase their skills and skills. As for your taste buds, you will usually feel a lot of different flavors. Here is a small memo about the possible flavor of a single cup of coffee (remember: this memo is only useful when tasting black coffee).

Central and Southern American Coffee:

Colombia, Nicaragua, Brazil-chocolate, nuts, caramel

African coffee:

Ethiopia, Tanzania, Rwanda-sweet, sour, nutty, lemon, sometimes sour

Asian coffee:

India, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea-fruity, spicy, salty

Mix coffee

75% of people order a cup of milk-based coffee: plain white coffee or latte, and get an incredible cup of coffee specially made in a cafe. Another cool coffee term means that when coffee beans from multiple sources are mixed, the baker will bake two or four kinds of coffee beans at the same time, all from different producing areas and growing countries. Each kind of coffee is roasted in a different way.

To provide your favorite coffee flavors, they are all mixed at different rates (roasting and blending). Coffee is a natural product from plants, so it is a living and ever-changing thing. Every time you roast coffee, you also have to taste it, mixing about three different coffee beans to achieve a balanced flavor and delicious taste. This is really a technical task.

In the front street, there are not only more than 30 kinds of items to choose from, but also Italian coffee beans made of pure Arabica beans, which are more obvious and pleasant in flavor.

Knowledge points: the concentration made from a single product is also known as-SOE
