Decide to enjoy the coffee ingredients to determine the quality

Material determines quality.

If you want to make a cup of mellow coffee, the most important thing is to buy good quality coffee beans. More than 3000 kinds of coffee beans are produced in more than 50 countries around the world every year. Generally divided into two categories: Arabica (ARABICA) and Robasta (ROBUSTA). ARABICA is of high quality and slightly sour, but has a strong flavor, while ROBUSTA has a strong flavor and is usually mixed with other coffee beans.

Some high-quality coffee beans, such as Columbia beans, BLUEMOUN-TAIN, KENYA, BRAZILIANSANTOS of Brazil, all belong to ARABICA, while coffee from Hainan and EKS from Indonesia all belong to ROBUSTA. Consumers should first smell the fragrance when buying coffee beans. The aroma is the life of coffee quality. The climate, processing, harvest, storage and baking technology of the place of production are all important factors affecting the aroma of coffee beans. The relationship between aroma and quality is very close. Good coffee beans have a strong aroma without peculiar smell. Next look at the color, coffee had better show dark brown, rather than a dark, deep bottomless, in addition, gloss and particle size is uniform is also a factor to consider; finally, when buying coffee beans, you might as well bite coffee beans, the fresh texture of coffee beans are more crisp, the entrance should be some sweet, slightly bitter, slightly sour not astringent.

Tools determine taste.

To brew a good cup of coffee, in addition to fresh coffee beans and slightly harder water, a complete set of brewing tools is also very important. Generally speaking, the taste and quality of coffee brewed out of different brewing pots are also slightly different, and there are mainly three commonly used coffee machines.

Trickle filter: both the drip cup and the electric coffee maker fall into this category and are the simplest brewing tools that can make clean and brightly colored coffee. This kind of coffee machine uses water to wet the coffee powder so that the coffee liquid flows through the filter cloth or filter paper and flows into the container at the speed of natural fall. Basically, this method does not soak the coffee powder, just let the hot water pass slowly through the coffee powder.

Bubble type: put the coffee powder into the pot, soak it in hot water for several minutes, and then filter out the coffee grounds by a filter cloth or screen to form a cup of coffee liquid. Drip pots, Belgian coffee pots and Vietnamese coffee pots are all follicular brewing tools, they all have a soaking process, and the coffee has a more complex taste.

High-pressure type: use pressurized hot water to penetrate the dense coffee powder to produce a thick cup of coffee, because this way makes the acidity of the coffee easier to control, so many large hotels and coffee shops use this way. the tools in this form are mocha pots and espresso machines.

Mood determines taste.

Choosing good quality coffee beans and coffee machines is only a prerequisite for brewing a good cup of coffee. Whether the quality of coffee can be perfectly presented depends on their own experience and skills. The gourmet said that the mood when brewing and tasting coffee is very important. "the taste of coffee is an expression of emotion." Coffee made when you are in a bad mood is also bitter, and only with a relaxed and pleasant mood can you realize the best taste of coffee.

When making coffee, some details are also very important. the proportion of a standard cup of coffee is 30 milliliters of water for every 15 grams of coffee powder, and the thickness increases or decreases according to your taste. If the coffee bean is sour and bitter, one can grind the coffee powder a little thicker and the taste will be lighter, and the other is to add the right amount of coffee milk and sugar to cover the bitterness of the coffee with strong milk and sweetness. The best state of coffee brewing is to mix the bitter, sour, sweet, sweet, fragrant and astringent taste properly. When a cup of mellow coffee is made, don't rush to taste it. The best temperature for drinking coffee is 68-72 degrees Celsius. In order not to greatly reduce the taste of coffee, the coffee cup should be warmed in the hot cabinet before filling the hot coffee.
