Two key points of tasting coffee: smell and taste

Two key points for tasting coffee:

Smell and taste!

The nose is as important as the tongue.

Most people may think that tasting is just with the mouth, but in fact, the nose plays a very important role in the tasting process, and many feelings about the taste are conveyed by the nose, so please make more use of your nose. It must be made clear that coffee here refers to a hot drink.

At the same time, plain coffee without any additives, if you drink coffee seasoned with milk such as cappuccino or latte, don't be too squeamish and relax and enjoy it. Of course, even pure coffee does not need to be tasted in a serious mood every time, it can be the most

Something important.

When a cup of coffee is just made, please don't rush it into your mouth.

Because when the coffee temperature is so high, it's hard for your tongue to feel anything. But also because of the high temperature, the aroma molecules are easy to emit, and smelling the fragrance with your nose is the first step in tasting coffee. Coffee is currently known to contain the most chemicals.

(more than species), there are many substances that are still unknown. Under the interaction of so many substances and baked caramelization, the taste of coffee can be said to be ever-changing. You can smell completely different flavors in coffee from different producing areas: citrus, walnut, cream, honey.

Chocolate, jasmine and even musk, etc., can not be said to smell! Don't be surprised, it's not spiced afterwards, it's completely natural, and that's why coffee is fascinating, because it's so complex and changeable!

Drink espresso in 30 seconds.

After taking some time to enjoy the aroma of coffee, if you order a cup of espresso with only 30CC today, please drink the cup of coffee with three or four mouthfuls within 30 seconds. You will feel that each mouthful tastes completely different. If you drink for too long, the thick layer of espresso

Crema will soon disappear, and there is no point in drinking espresso like this. When the coffee is in the mouth, please try to cover the whole tip of the tongue so that every taste bud of the tongue can receive the message from the coffee, and then swallow the throat so that you can make it clear.

I know what this cup of coffee tastes like. (in fact, this method can be used in the tasting of all drinks)

Put it down before you drink it

As the temperature drops, the tongue becomes more sensitive to acid, so some people will feel that cold coffee tastes sour, and some coffee beans known for their sour fruit will perform best in this situation. Except for espresso, the coffee beans made by other methods are not good.

You need to drink it all at once, in fact, put it a little bit and let the coffee temperature drop to about 60 degrees before tasting it in order to get a more complete taste. If you want to try it, you can try cold coffee, which tastes good except for its less flavor.

What if I can't finish it?

Sometimes the coffee is too much to drink at once, or when you have to take it out, it's the best way to keep it in a thermos (cup). The present vacuum thermos (cups) have a very good heat preservation effect. The coffee that has just been brewed is about 80 degrees Celsius and has been kept in vacuum thermos for six hours.

There are still 45 degrees, in other words, you can enjoy mellow hot coffee at any time within these six hours by opening the thermos. In addition, please do not keep the coffee on the insulation mat all the time (such as the American coffee pot sold on the market), or reheat the cold coffee, etc.

All of these ways will greatly reduce the taste of coffee.
