In the movie "Cafe by the Sea", although the development of the plot does not revolve around the theme of coffee, there are many scenes related to coffee, which are worth exploring.

First of all, the protagonist in the film, Cape Yoshida, is a coffee roaster from Tokyo, and her seaside coffee shop is also equipped with Fuji Royal R105 roaster. It can be said to be fully configured.

The interior of the seaside coffee shop seems to be quite different from that of the coffee shop we usually know, but this is not made up by the movie, but according to the reality, there are many small self-baking coffee shops in Japan. Their decoration tends to be simple family style, and the important sign must be the large cabinet behind the bar with neat cups, plates or coffee utensils. There is a scene in which we see roasted coffee beans displayed in large jars, which is obviously different from the coffee beans we usually buy and packaged in coffee shops. In Japan, many independent small cafes sell coffee in the same way as candies in bulk. When customers need to buy coffee beans, they spoon coffee beans out of large jars and call them resale. Of course, big brands or new coffee shops like Maruyama Coffee have abandoned this practice.

There is even an attempt to teach you to make coffee, although there are only a few repetitive words, but Qianjie thinks it has been expressed very popularly. The whole flushing method tells you to inject water slowly and gently (deep baked beans). At first, you should slowly pour water around the word "baked", and then stop. This is the steaming stage.

Then continue to pour water, stop, that is, to inject water in stages, and then continue to inject water around the word "coffee", that is, to ensure that the extraction is uniform. Don't let the coffee grounds leak, that is, don't let the liquid surface sink. They think that the foam on the surface of coffee powder is the source of the bitter taste of coffee. In fact, making a cup of coffee is really as simple as that. There is even a professional coffee cup test in the film. The coffee part of the film is full of details. This movie can satisfy coffee people with tricky angles like me. (I won't admit that I read it for Sasaki.)

Of course, a movie is always a movie, and it is impossible to show everyone the complete and real side. If you want to know more about coffee, you might as well watch some documentaries about coffee. For example, the CCTV documentary "Black Coffee Black Coffee" is a good way to explain the context of coffee.
