"characteristics" means that one thing has a style and form that is significantly different from other things. It has, others do not, then we can call this point "characteristic". Because of this, espresso can develop so many categories. Each category has several roughly the same individuals, for example, in the Italian milk coffee category, there are lattes, cabbages, Australian white, dirty coffee and so on. Although they look roughly the same in appearance, they all have different characteristics. For example, latte is the sweetest, Australian white is the most fragrant, cabbage is the thickest, and dirty coffee is rich in layers.

In order to experience the different characteristics of these different products, we not only need to change the production of coffee, but also make some adjustments to the way of tasting. Right! This is indeed the case. Because the production of some coffee will need to be presented in a special way of tasting, if we do not drink it in the right way, we may not be able to feel the special taste of this cup of coffee at the moment of entrance. Therefore, there will be some differences in the way you drink. Therefore, Qianjie today to share the right way to drink different coffee!

First, milk coffee with thick milk bubbles. Many friends are used to sipping coffee when they drink coffee. Last time, Qianjiao said that Australia White can drink coffee directly because its milk foam is very thin. Even if you take a sip, you can feel the delicacy of Australian white coffee. But coffee coffee with thick milk bubbles, such as lattes and cappuccinos, is different, because the foam is very thick, so if you taste it in small bites, you will probably only drink grease foam floating on the surface.

This grease foam is mainly composed of Crema of espresso and milk foam. And because there are a lot of very fine powder with bitter taste hidden in the fat, the taste of it will be bitter. If we only taste the foam on the surface after a sip, the bitterness will spread in our mouths because of the existence of very fine powder.

So if we don't want to taste the bitterness of the fine powder, we might as well slightly increase the tilt angle of the coffee cup. To put it simply, take a big sip, break through the milk foam and drink the coffee liquid directly. In this way, the bitterness of milk foam will be overshadowed by the taste of coffee, and coffee can also have the dense taste of milk foam, which is the unique feature of "thick milk coffee".

Second, the emergence of layered coffee a lot of coffee will be due to artificial operation, or density reasons, resulting in an obvious stratified state after being made. For example, espresso! The oil and coffee of espresso will be delaminated rapidly because of the large density gap after extraction.

Then at this point we need to use spoons to integrate them and then taste them! Because if there is no strong stirring, even if you can drink oil and coffee liquid at the same time, the bitterness of concentrated oil and the strong taste of coffee liquid will be different because of layering and do not blend together, the performance is very sudden. Ordinary shaking does not evenly blend the oil into the coffee liquid, so we need to use spoons or other items to stir. Then, taste the espresso. The taste of the well-mixed espresso is very harmonious. The bitterness of the oil not only neutralizes the strong taste of the coffee liquid, but also provides a certain alcohol thickness and dense taste. It tastes better and is not abrupt at all.

In addition to espresso, in order to create a better visual effect, some merchants will deliberately layer the coffee, such as an iced latte or other special coffee. This kind of coffee with stratified effect also needs to be stirred before drinking, otherwise it is easy to drink a certain material first, which leads to the loss of the meaning of the combination of the whole cup of coffee. Therefore, for this kind of coffee deliberately to create a visual effect of coffee, we had better stir before drinking.

Third, the need to drink coffee what is said above is to deliberately create a visual effect and produce layered coffee, many friends may think of Dirty. However, Dirty is completely different, it does not need to be stirred. Why? Because its characteristic is layering.

Hot concentrated and iced milk, sweet milk and bitter concentrated. This is the special experience that Dirty brings to us, and if we want to experience this feature, we can't use stirring to blend concentrate and milk. In addition, you can't take a sip, because it will also cause the coffee that floats on the surface to be drunk first, leaving only a large cup of milk. So, for this special kind of coffee, Dirty, the right way to drink it is to drink it in big gulps! As soon as you take a big sip, the concentrate and milk will be closed in the mouth, and the contrast between them will be shown directly in the mouth. Not only Dirty, but also Herbalife blue, they all need to drink! At the same time, with the increase of drinking times, the taste of coffee in the cup will change with the increase of the fusion degree of the material, and the sense of hierarchy is very rich.

Having said so much, I believe it is very clear that different coffees will be consumed in different ways because of their different characteristics, and coffee may behave differently in different ways of drinking. Therefore, it is not impossible to have one more attempt.
