Does the coffee cup pot filter cup need to be preheated? What effect does the temperature of hand-brewed coffee have on the flavor and taste?

If you have carefully observed the coffee machine in a coffee shop, I believe it will not be difficult for you to find that there are always many coffee cups displayed on the coffee machine. The reason why they are placed this way is of course to "preheat the coffee cup." Preheating coffee cups by using the heat from the coffee machine has long been a "tradition" in coffee shops.

However, in recent years, many friends have felt that warming cups is unnecessary because they believe that it would be more suitable to use unpreheated coffee cups to hold coffee. So is this really the case? We can first look at the impact of the cup's temperature on coffee, which is-temperature. Preheated cups do not excessively demand the temperature of the coffee because they are rich in calories, which can effectively slow down the loss of coffee temperature; while cups that have not been preheated have strong heat absorption and will draw temperature from the coffee liquor until they are at the same temperature. From the above introduction, we can see that the advantages of warming the cup are very significant, because it can keep the "heat" of coffee for a longer time, and this is why the measure of warming the cup has been maintained to this day. However, in some cases, not warming the cup may be a better choice than warming the cup! For example, an unwarm cup can allow people to experience the "complete look" of coffee for the first time!

As we all know, the sensitivity of our taste buds is affected by temperature. When the temperature is too high or too low, the taste buds 'sensitivity to taste will decrease, and we cannot drink the full flavor of coffee in the first place. Because of this, when the temperature is too high or too low, the coffee we drink will have a higher sweetness, because the taste buds are hidden by the high temperature and we cannot drink too much bitterness or sourness. When the temperature approaches normal temperature, our taste buds can better taste the original taste of coffee because there is no high temperature mask. At this time, we can combine the aroma and taste to better associate the excellent flavor of coffee and better feel the complete appearance of coffee.

So why is unwarm cups an option that allows us to better feel the flavor of coffee? The reason is also very simple, because usually the temperature of the coffee we brew will be relatively high and the mouth will be relatively hot. If we use a preheated cup to hold it, because the temperature of the coffee liquid is not absorbed too much by the cup, the coffee will still be In a relatively hot state, then it will naturally be difficult for us to feel the complete appearance in the first place; If we use an unpreheated room temperature cup to hold coffee, then the temperature of the coffee with the hot mouth will be lowered due to the heat absorbed by the cup. If the mouth is not so hot, it will not affect our taste buds. It has too many effects, and we can naturally taste the taste of coffee better.

The front street dividing line in the front street coffee Tmall Taobao flagship store is a coffee bean that tastes sweet and sour, and is full of fruit. It is very suitable for making hand-brewed, cold extracted, and espresso. When brewing it by hand, the parameters used by Qianjie are 15g of coffee powder, a ratio of powder and water of 1:15, a sieving rate of 75% to 80% of No. 20 sieve, and a brewing water temperature of 92°C., extraction time is 2 minutes.

After preheating the coffee cup and coffee pot, the temperature of the coffee liquid we get will be around 70°C, which is a bit hot to drink, so we can only sip it in small sips. The aroma is very rich, but the taste is just as Qianjie said. The taste we taste is high in sweetness, then the acidity and bitterness will be weaker, and the layers are not so rich. We need to wait for a while to cool down the coffee a little before we can drink it. It's delicious; if you don't preheat the coffee cup or coffee pot, the temperature of the coffee liquid in the cup will be around 60°C. Warm, but not burning your mouth. With one bite, we can directly taste the most complete delicacy of Qianjie Xizhao. The taste is sweet and sour, with flavors such as grapes, apricots, passion fruits, and floral flowers. Because you don't need to sip it in small mouthfuls, the coffee will have a full and solid taste, with rich layers, which is very good.

From this point of view, not preheating the coffee cup is also a good choice. So everyone can know that preheating or not preheating the coffee cup has its own benefits! Which one should choose is best depends on what kind of result we want to get. If you want to maintain the temperature of the coffee for a longer period of time, or if the temperature of the coffee drops faster in cold weather, a warm cup is naturally the best choice; if you don't want the coffee to be too hot, or if you want to let guests drink the full taste as soon as possible, as Qianjie mentioned earlier, then an unwarm cup would be a good choice ~
