Coffee basics Common sense "good coffee" should be the standard

Everyone's taste is different, and the taste of coffee varies from person to person. How can we say what is good and what is bad? How to judge? The taste of coffee is determined by the combination of sour and bitter taste, aroma concentration, astringent taste and mellow thickness, sometimes plus wine taste, mildew taste, fermentation taste and so on. For a person who doesn't like sour coffee, even a cup of sour coffee is not good for it. Therefore, we have a clear score that the "good and bad" of coffee is a matter of personal preference and cannot be evaluated objectively, but there is a criterion for judging and distinguishing the "good and bad" of coffee.

What is a good cup of coffee? There should be the following criteria:

1. For the flawless coffee raw beans, it is necessary to pick out the defective coffee beans such as bad beans, moldy beans, fermented beans, worm-eaten beans, and even immature beans, which will destroy the original taste of coffee, that is, to completely deal with the selection process of raw beans. Expensive beans do not necessarily represent good beans, but good beans require a certain selection process. As the so-called "hand-selected first choice", the handling of raw coffee beans requires experienced hands.

Good raw beans and bad raw beans must be picked out from bad beans, moldy beans and worm-eaten beans.

two。 Freshly roasted coffee. After a proper roasting process to make the flavor of the coffee beans appear perfectly, the raw coffee beans are stored in the correct way of preservation within the period of validity, usually two weeks.

The color of baked beans should be uniform between good baked beans and bad baked beans.

3. Freshly ground coffee.

4. Freshly brewed coffee.

In other words, a "good cup of coffee" should be "selected flawless coffee raw beans, after proper roasting, fresh grinding, brewing, the correct extraction of flavor" coffee.
