"I'll have a cup of hand-made coffee with milk."

-HM? Hand-made coffee is to drink the original flavor! Then the milk will have no soul!

Nowadays, boutique coffee is popular, and many people pursue the era of the original flavor of coffee, and many people will think that the way to drink coffee with milk does not know how to appreciate boutique coffee.

But! The emergence of the word "boutique coffee" is in the hope that people can drink higher quality coffee, can drink cleaner taste under the traditional coffee extraction method, and does not require people not to add milk to drink.

In the history of coffee for centuries, milk was almost the soul mate of coffee in order to make it tastier. More than 200 years before the use of espresso lattes, people in Europe had a practice of adding milk to coffee extracted by drip / soak.

According to a letter written by the French woman writer Madame Seville in the 1790s, a coffee shop in Vienna, Austria, began to sell milk coffee as early as the 1780s, which is also the first coffee shop in history to sell milk coffee. Officially, many coffee shops are now in the "revival" of coffee products-Cafe é au lait Coffee Ole.

However, many coffee shops use espresso when making coffee, so many friends will mistakenly equate coffee O'Lei with coffee lattes.

In fact, coffee O'Lei 's practice is to add milk to hand-brewed coffee / French coffee, and the milk does not need to be inflated. (the practice of steam dispelling milk only appeared after the espresso machine was invented.)

Ole Coffee is probably the most common and easy to make milk coffee, so this way quickly spread all over Europe. Around the 18th century, the Japanese brought the popular culture of Europe back to their own country, becoming one of the first countries in Asia to develop cafes, and coffee O'Lei became one of the most popular products among the major cafes. Coffee O'Lei is also very popular in the earliest cafes in China.

At first, coffee O'Lei appeared to neutralize the bad flavor of coffee, but as people paid more attention to the quality and roasting of coffee beans, they also paid attention to brewing coffee with milk. The addition of hot milk can not only neutralize the bitterness of the coffee, but also create more different flavor experiences.

Through the different flavor performance of coffee, adding different amounts of milk with different milk fat / protein content to make the coffee show a new flavor.

Because Ole Coffee has different versions around the world, there are many different ways to make it, but either way, it is inseparable from the use of drip / soak extracted coffee and hot milk.

Adhere to the use of hot milk, because when the milk is heated, the lactose will emit caramel-like sweetness, which can not only improve the smooth and full taste of the coffee, but also increase the sweetness of the coffee.

In fact, there is not much attention to the concentration of coffee. It can be said that how do you like it, and how do the owners of the cafe think it is appropriate? it is so casual, as long as the drinkers like it, this is a good Olei.

With the change of coffee consumption trend, although more and more people have more pursuit for the original taste of coffee, milk and coffee are still inseparable partners in the hearts of many people, no matter what form they mix with coffee.

The emergence of boutique coffee, of course, we hope that we can drink coffee with better and better flavor, but no matter how the flavor is, for most consumers, not everyone can distinguish it.

Adding milk to hand-brewed coffee is a very normal thing. Everyone has different requirements for the concentration and taste of coffee, and maybe a cup of coffee that matches the gold cup extract may still be strong for someone. Or will there be more interest in boutique coffee because of the flavor that ta prefers when hot milk is added?

Coffee, is a very inclusive drink, drink people like, drink their own happiness, is the absolute truth!
