"Sister, how much is this tea egg?" "this is not a tea egg ~ this is a coffee egg! This is cooked with that coffee bean, and the bottom of this soup is hot American. " "how much is it in this way?" "5 yuan a piece, the taste is completely different from the tea eggs you eat."I'll try it."I'll find you a more flavored one. Would you like some coffee?"well, some more hot American style."

The above conversation comes from a video circulated online recently, and the roadside stall is located in the Qingdeng Market in Wenzhou. "Coffee eggs" is one of the specialty products it sells.

According to the stall owner, the coffee is first ground into powder and boiled together with the five-spice seasoning used to boil tea eggs, then soak the boiled eggs into this large pot of "black coffee", and finally wait for the eggs to taste thoroughly (coffee flavor). Coffee eggs can not only be eaten, but the "hot American" in the pot can also be drunk, so it is true to kill two birds with one stone.

Seeing here, are you as curious as the author that the protagonist of this pot of "cooking" is coffee or eggs? Will the eggs with the smell of coffee be bitter? Can I drink coffee liquid?

The practice of boiling eggshells in coffee reminds me of a tile pot brewing coffee in Macau. The eggshell itself is alkaline and when mixed with acidic coffee, it reduces the acidity and irritation in the coffee, thus making the coffee taste softer and silkier, and the roasted eggshell adds an extra hint of aroma to the coffee.

Sure enough, shortly after the video was released, the "coffee egg" attracted comments and retweets from netizens with its magical collocation. Apart from being concerned about the taste, the first thing that comes to mind by many netizens is hygiene, "giving people a delicate and disgusting feeling", "coffee can be called chicken shit American style", "the taste of coffee is not clear, but it can replenish calcium visually."

Some netizens began to delve into the business opportunity to make money. Since an egg can be sold for 5 yuan with coffee, then "I can sell it for 10 yuan with cat poop (coffee)."

It is not only impressed by everyone's brains, but also directly scared back by the selection of high-end materials. The coffee they use is not the conventional mixed beans on the market, or deep-roasted coffee powder, but emphasizes the high-quality hand-made beans from a single origin, creating "emerald manor coffee eggs" and "melon fruit rose summer coffee eggs".

For example, a luxurious netizen used 2000 yuan / KG of water to wash Rose Summer, from the Panamanian melon and fruit estate, cooked beans cost about 2.50 yuan / gram. In this experiment, 40 grams of coffee beans were used, and the cost of coffee alone has exceeded 100. No wonder the friend said after tasting, "after eating this high-grade rose summer egg, eat this (ordinary) tea egg, it is ordinary."

Nowadays, more and more netizens are trying to integrate daily food into coffee, or coffee on the table, and we can see that people really want to take advantage of the taste characteristics of different ingredients to create new products that exceed expectations. Under the premise of respecting food, it is impossible to make coffee match with other ingredients to show amazing flavor. Maybe one day you will really eat the flavor of boutique coffee on eggs. Haha.
