Coffee basics A cup of good coffee is a lot of attention

It is not enough to have good roasted coffee beans to drink a good cup of coffee. The processing method is also a key link. For example, there is a lot of attention to water temperature. The temperature of the water is very different from that of making Turkish coffee. If you apply it randomly, the coffee will be "drinkable". If you can deal with it casually, why do Italians bother to find out after thousands of experiments that the best temperature for making Esprsso is between 92 and 93 ℃?

Some people may wonder that if there is a difference of one or two degrees Celsius, there will be a big difference in the quality of coffee. That's true. Try it if you don't believe it. In reality, the slightest nuance can change fate. In fact, the genetic difference between humans and mice is less than 2%. The earth we live in is 1% away from the sun, and we are either frozen into an ice waste or roasted into a piece of braised meat.

A friend of Chaozhou is good at hitting on Kungfu Tea. The same Phoenix Shan Fong became a cup of tea in his hand, and my efforts always turned out to be a mess. I asked him what the trick was. The man smiled and said, "have you forgotten the chemistry you learned?" How can the release of tea be the same at different temperatures and different times?

Details determine quality. This is true for making tea, and so is making coffee.

A comfortable and exquisite life is the pursuit of human beings. But the good life comes at a cost. As those who are still struggling in the workplace, we can't fiddle with bottles and cans all day, meticulously concoct our favorite coffee, and then lie on the big sofa, drinking hot coffee that happens to be 70 ℃, or iced coffee fixed at 6 ℃. Sometimes, we have to drink a cup of "shoddy" coffee with a normal mind.

Like all men, I like to drive. Whether for work or leisure, I am willing to fly hundreds of kilometers a day. In order to prevent myself from driving crazy, I will turn on the stereo and listen to some soft music; in order to get rid of fatigue, I will drink a strong cup of coffee from time to time.

Although I love coffee, I'm not obsessed enough to install a coffee machine in the car. You can't have both a fish and a bear's paw. Driving is a kind of labor after all, and you have to concentrate on your work. And as far as I'm concerned, cold coffee is better than hot coffee when driving.

Traditional Chinese love hot food. When traveling in western countries, one of the things that people are not used to is that there is no hot water to drink. The strange thing is that the more developed countries, the more people seem to like to drink cold water. When eating in those luxury restaurants overseas, I always hear compatriots complain: in such a high-end restaurant, why not give me a cup of hot water!

If we continue to explore, our lovely compatriots will angrily add a conclusion: foreigners are stingy.

We should understand our countrymen. Today, we will also complain that "tap water smells like medicine", but drinking tap water from a faucet may not kill people. But few of our surviving ancestors must have dared to drink unboiled water. Until the middle of the last century, people in the south were used to keeping a few small fish in potable wells or even in water tanks at home. Without these little fish, the water tank would be full of disgusting little red worms in the twinkling of an eye. Moreover, in case there is a problem with the water quality, the fish in the tank will turn their bellies first, but people can escape. If you don't burn this kind of "drinking water", it will be hard to escape the deadly intestinal strangulation.

People miss the disappearance of green mountains and green waters, but forget how many ancestors' lives were lost because of the lack of sanitary water. Chinese people are obsessed with hot food, sadly because their ancestors who drank cold water and ate cold food overnight were eliminated in the process of evolution.

Fortunately, it is not what it used to be. Now we still don't want to drink unboiled tap water, but we can unexpectedly unscrew the lid and pour bottled water into our bellies. With this bottled water, it is actually very convenient to drink cold coffee during the journey. Take a bottle of water and take two sips to make it half full. Then carefully pour in the instant coffee and shake the bottle until the coffee has melted. If you use bottled water that has just been taken out of the refrigerator at the gas station, you will have a nice cup of iced coffee in this way.

Of course, this kind of self-made coffee is purely shoddy and only belongs to the "drinkable" category. However, in order to one day, I can safely lie on the big sofa to drink gourmet coffee, might as well in the hard work, play a little clever, make a simple cup of coffee refreshing.

In order to realize the bright future in the dream, sometimes we can't care too much about the immediate gains and losses.
