Choose the right coffee, choose the right sugar, coffee and sugar
The role of coffee and sugar in coffee is mainly to neutralize bitterness by increasing sweetness. General coffee drinks with a sweetness of 12% to 14% will make people feel less bitter. And more than 18% will make people feel a little tired of sweetness.
There are subtle differences in the taste of coffee when different sugars are added to it. Here's what I'll introduce:
White sugar (sucrose)
At present, white granulated sugar is the most common sugar for drinking coffee in China. because of its sweetness and less miscellaneous flavors and impurities, the sugar packets in coffee shops are generally white granulated sugar.
Yellow sugar
Yellow sugar is actually a kind of brown sugar, the raw material is the same as white granulated sugar, is also sugar cane, but because the production process is relatively complex, so the price is much more expensive than white granulated sugar. Brown sugar is also a kind of sugar that foreigners prefer to add coffee. Coffee shops generally have white sugar bags and yellow sugar bags, and the weight of yellow sugar bags is generally lighter than that of white sugar bags.
Brown granulated sugar
Brown sugar is rarely used in coffee because of its high content of impurities.
Cotton white sugar
The raw material of cotton white sugar is beet, so the taste will be a little different from white granulated sugar. According to my personal test, cotton white sugar is better than white granulated sugar in making sugar oil, but there will be some impurities that need to be filtered.
Fructose
The fructose used in coffee shops is generally liquid, mainly used in iced coffee, but I personally do not recommend fructose. Although fructose sounds healthy and natural, in fact, fructose in the industrial processing process will produce some substances that the human body can not metabolize, so I still recommend making iced coffee.
Use your own sugar oil made from granulated sugar or cotton sugar.
Sugar substitute
Sugar substitute is actually saccharin, which is specially prepared for people with diabetes. People without diabetes are not recommended to use it. The sweetness after blending into coffee is more strange and more similar to sweet taste.
The above are the common sugars in drinking coffee. Choosing the right sugar and putting in the right amount will not only increase the taste of coffee, but also be more beneficial to your health.

Why is it easier to drink coffee and not sleep?
Many people have the experience of not sleeping because of high spirits after drinking coffee. This is because there is a conductive substance called adenosine in the body, which can control nerve activity, produce respiratory slowdown, mood reduction, acid secretion reduction and diuretic effects. Caffeine, on the other hand, fakes adenosine, making the body think that the effects of adenosine have occurred, leaving you feeling refreshed and stomach acid increased.

Good water, good coffee. What kind of water do you want to make a cup of coffee?
Water with too much mineral content is not suitable for making coffee, but distilled water with no minerals at all, although it is the purest, sanitary and safe, always feels empty and boring to drink. If distilled water is used to make coffee, there is something missing in taste. When I was eating in a large-scale western restaurant, I drank a glass of musty water. I don't know if the cup didn't wash clean, or how.
