Drinking hand-made coffee from cups with different shapes affects the difference in taste and taste.

As the most common utensils in life, cups have different shapes and names. There are a variety of cup shapes, styles and styles on the market, but it is inseparable from its practicality. Qianjie tries to apply different forms of cups to drinking hand-made coffee, will the flavor also have a different impact?

Several common cup types

1. The open cup, also known as the wide cup, has a large caliber, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the cup wall as a whole tilts outward about 45 degrees, like a bamboo hat.

two。 The straight cup, with a medium caliber, has a straight wall from the belly to the edge of the mouth, and the bottom is gradually folded in.

3. The closing cup, also known as the Rohan cup, is an inner concave cup with a belly bulging outward and folded at the bottom and top.

If you drink the same coffee in different cups, what's the difference in taste?

Qianjie first boiled Guatemala's sunny Rabel rose summer coffee beans, compared with the above three cups, chose a ceramic cup with good insulation, and preheated before drinking.

Here, we use the cooking parameters produced by Qianjie store: the amount of powder is 15 grams, the ratio of powder to water is 1:15, the temperature of cooking water is 91 ℃, the grinding is medium fine grinding (78% of the screening rate of Chinese standard sieve), and three-stage extraction.

In the fragrance stage, the closing cup smells a variety of aromas, with soft floral aromas of baked nuts and tropical fruits on the entrance; straight cups also have nutty and fruit aromas, but they are not as rich as the closing cups; the open cup has the lightest aroma.

When the coffee is tasted at high temperature, the concentration of the straight cup is the highest and the berries are sour and sweet, while the open cup has a sour taste with a touch of tea, while the closing cup is the sweetest, making the coffee taste more round.

How does coffee taste from the same cup for different types of coffee?

It also uses the daily production parameters of the store.

Queen's Manor of Brazil

Yega Xuefei Guoding Ding

Open cup

Nutty, spicy, slightly sour, with a slightly mixed finish after cooling

Lemon and citrus have bright acidity and rich fragrance in the mouth.

Straight cup

High concentration, mellow, high bitterness, chocolate aroma

High acidity of berries, green tea taste, flavor change is not obvious.

Closing cup

Full aroma of caramel and cream, outstanding sweetness and balanced taste

In the stage of smelling fragrance, the smell of honey and jasmine is outstanding, the sweet and sour taste is weak, and the taste is thin.

Why do different cups taste different?

The structure of the tongue can feel different tastes, the tip of the tongue can feel the sweet taste, the side can feel the sour taste, and the root of the tongue is the most sensitive to bitterness.

-- Open cup

Drink coffee with an open cup, the coffee liquid in the cup has more contact area with air, and the shape of the incision makes the coffee more dispersed into the mouth. Coffee first flows through the side and tip of the tongue, and the sour and sweet flavors are easier to capture, making the sour taste brighter.

The open mouth of the cup makes the temperature of the coffee drop faster, and the flavor is particularly distinct in different temperature regions. After cooling, the feeling of acidity on the side of the tongue is particularly obvious, so drinking bitter coffee will become "mixed taste". In addition, the exposure is not easy to gather aroma, so the smell stage will be weak.

-- straight cup

The advantage of the straight-body cup is that the caliber is small, and the straight-line design allows the liquid to flow into the mouth during coffee, which has a greater sensory impact on the mouth. The medium and high temperature coffee has a higher concentration, which makes the taste fuller and more solid. The straight cup is well-behaved in the incense-smelling stage, but the long cup body makes the cooling rate slower, and the taste is not easy to change too fast.

-- shut up the cup

The closing design allows us to raise the cup and jaw when drinking, so that the mouth shape is more concentrated forward, similar to the feeling of sipping, so that the liquid is more evenly distributed in the mouth.

The width of the cup and the concave design of the mouth allow the aroma to be released at the widest point, and then gather at the mouth of the cup, so it is very beneficial to smell the fragrance.

Which cup should I choose?

Now that we know that different cup types will affect the aroma, flavor and taste of coffee, we can choose coffee beans with "corresponding" flavor to taste, so as to "sublimate" our own coffee!

If we brew coffee that emphasizes sour quality, we can choose open cups with distinct flavor levels, such as lightly roasted sour beans such as Yejassefi and Kenya. Deep-roasted bitter coffee represented by Golden Manning and Blue Mountain is recommended to use a balanced mouth cup to better feel the mellow and sweet coffee.

Like some coffee beans with outstanding aroma, such as the front street musicians Mozart, Rose Valley, Flower Moon Night and other coffee beans, the heat preservation performance of the straight cup can make the flavor of the coffee not change too fast because of the temperature drop.

Of course, in addition to the shape of the cup will have different drinking experience, there are thickness, material, volume and other factors may affect the coffee in our hands. If you are cup enthusiasts, you can store a variety of cups at home, like Qianjie, you can make a horizontal comparison and choose the cup that best suits you.
