The profession is naturally the last word. Uncle Dou's visit.

Mocha, Mantenin, Colombia. What kind of coffee do you like best? We'll take you all over the city, from professional to chain to private cafes, take your seats and find a cup of your favorite coffee.

Profession is the last word.

Slow down the origin and types of coffee:

Interviewees: uncle Dou, owner of Haofang Coffee Bakery, Coffee Roaster, Raw Bean Merchant.

The world's first bag of coffee beans slowly left the African continent in the 6th century AD and developed for thousands of years. In 1530, the first coffee shop appeared in Damascus, north of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the word "coffee" appeared in British newspapers in 1601. For more than a thousand years, coffee trees have blossomed everywhere in the most livable land in the world, and finally formed major producing areas. At present, coffee is grown in more than 70 countries in the world, especially in the tropics above 1000 meters above sea level. The world-famous coffee varieties are Colombian coffee, Brazilian coffee, Ethiopian coffee, Indonesian Mantenin coffee, Italian blended coffee (blended by more than two kinds of coffee) and so on. Coffee beans are divided into three types: Arabica coffee beans, Robusta coffee beans and Lieberica coffee beans. The coffee beans in each producing area have their own characteristics from color to taste. Coffee experts generally believe that no kind of coffee is the best in the world, only the likes and dislikes of coffee drinkers.

Central America and the Caribbean: including Costa Rica, Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico and other places. Among them, the most famous Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is known as "the most expensive coffee in the world", with a domestic price of about 1200-1500 yuan per kilogram. Blue Mountain Coffee is slightly sour, supple and delicate, and pure Blue Mountain coffee is small and expensive, so the cheaper "Comprehensive Blue Mountain" (Blue Mountain Blend) or "Blue Mountain" (Blue Mountain Style) coffee on the market is usually a mixture of Colombian beans.

South America: just mentioning the names of Brazil and Colombia seems to smell the smell of coffee. Since the first introduction of coffee trees in 1720, Brazil has become the world's largest coffee exporter, accounting for 30% of the world's output. In the mid-1990s, two frost attacks in Brazil reduced coffee production and raised international coffee prices by 50 per cent. So far, the climate in Brazil is still one of the main indicators for coffee futures traders to predict the trend of coffee. The best quality coffee in Brazil is produced in the Serrado region of the state of Minas Gerais, which is popular among European coffee manufacturers for its excellent balance, rich cocoa aroma and high sweetness.

Colombia is the world's largest exporter of Arabica coffee. The coffee in the central mountains is centered around Medellin, while the eastern mountains are centered in Bogota. The central mountains are dominated by volcanic soil, so the acidity of high-quality coffee is higher, while in the eastern producing area, which is dominated by sedimentary rock and soil, the acidity of coffee is very low and the aroma is higher.

Africa: coffee produced in Africa is mostly fruity, red wine, bright acidity and cheerful. When it comes to African coffee, Kenya represents. At the beginning of the 20th century, bourbon coffee was brought to Kenya from Yemen by the Catholic Austen Church and began to attract coffee merchants all over the world.

And the famous coffee in Ethiopia, the hometown of coffee, can also be found everywhere. From wild coffee to modern plantations, people can still find ways to grow coffee here. It has two producing areas: "Hara" in the Hara Plateau in the northeast and "Yeka Snow Fine" in the middle. Hara coffee has a charming aroma, most of which are sun-dried and light in taste, and are often called "red wine in coffee". Yeka snow caffeine is favored by Germans and Japanese for its rich floral aroma and citrus sweetness.

Asia: the hero of Asian coffee is the Dutch, who brought coffee to Sumatra in the 17th century, which gave birth to Manning Coffee. At the end of the 18th century, the spread of coffee rust basically destroyed the Indonesian coffee industry, so Indonesians had to switch to disease-resistant Roberto specialty coffee, but Mantenin is still famous in Indonesia-full grains and syrup taste, after medium and deep baking, the taste is like a sunny day in a tropical summer afternoon.

The Asian region also mentions Vietnam, which began to grow coffee during the French colonial period, mostly Javanese and bourbon varieties, mainly Robart coffee beans, which are moderate and well-balanced.

How to make your own professional and delicious coffee at home:

Interviewee: Ji Ming, professional barista, visiting professor of coffee.

TO: what tools do you need to make your own coffee at home? What is the average cost? Where can I buy it?

That is, bean grinder, coffee maker or coffee maker and so on. The price of coffee beans varies due to different varieties and roasting. Generally speaking, the price of a 250-gram bag of coffee beans may range from 40 yuan to 100 yuan.

When you just come into contact with coffee, you can choose some simple utensils, such as package pressure pot, siphon pot, mocha pot, Vietnamese pot, hand dripping filter pot, etc. Generally speaking, the siphon pot is about 200 yuan made in China and 400 or 500 yuan imported from abroad. Vietnamese pots, French pots, hand drip filter pots and other common household coffee utensils are generally priced within 100 yuan. Beginners can use an easy-to-operate electric bean grinder at a price of several hundred yuan. Enthusiasts generally shake and grind with their hands, usually about one hundred yuan.

It is better for beginners to buy through trading companies or coffee training schools, and they can learn to use it on the spot.

TO: how to make a simple and professional cup of coffee?

To make Vietnamese coffee, for example, prepare a Vietnamese pot, 15 grams of coffee beans, a warm coffee cup or small coffee pot, 94 ℃ of hot water and the right amount of condensed milk.

First grind the coffee beans into medium coffee powder. If the coffee powder is too fine, it will leak out from the filter, and the coffee will feel full of dregs, but if it is too thick, it will not be well extracted.

After grinding the coffee powder, remove the filter plate from the Vietnamese pot, pour the coffee powder into the pot, shake it flat, and put the filter plate back into the pot.

Pour in the right amount of condensed milk according to your preference, put the Vietnamese pot with coffee powder on a warm coffee cup, pour in hot water and wait for two to three minutes. To observe the speed of coffee dripping while waiting, the slow speed means that the filter plate is too tight, so you need to loosen the filter plate to speed up the dripping speed; when the water is finished, stir the coffee and condensed milk evenly, and you can enjoy a cup of Vietnamese coffee.

TO: points for attention in the extraction of coffee powder

The water temperature should be controlled at 90-95 ℃. When the temperature is too low, the aroma in the coffee can not be completely released; when the temperature is higher than 95 ℃, all the aroma substances in the coffee are destroyed in the instant of hot water brewing.

The coffee cup or pot used to hold coffee must be warm. Cold coffee cups will affect the volatilization of aromatic substances.

The thickness of the coffee powder must be adjusted according to the selected coffee utensils. The coffee powder used in the semi-automatic coffee machine is the finest ground, while small coffee utensils such as siphon pots, Vietnamese pots, hand drip filters and Vietnamese pots are relatively rougher.

TO: how do coffee experts like you drink coffee?

I am a lazy person. I usually choose the simplest way of brewing at home-French pressing kettle, which is most suitable for tasting the brewing way of coffee of origin, and can highlight the natural flavor of all kinds of coffee of origin. I personally prefer Ethiopian Harald coffee, which is mellow and slightly sour.

TO: the exclusive experience of baristas?

It is recommended to buy coffee beans of origin with a suitable coffee pot, and it is not recommended to use a more professional semi-automatic coffee machine in the first place. Coffee utensils are not recommended to be purchased online. Coffee beans, try to buy freshly baked ones. Only by constantly tasting good quality coffee can the taste buds continue to improve.

Looking for strangeness in a small cafe

Cafe de Sofa

Recommended: ice drop coffee, Vietnam drip coffee

Ice drop coffee was invented by the Dutch and later carried forward in Japan, and then it soon affected Taiwan during the period of Japanese unification. Cafe de sofa's boss, Egg, claimed that throughout his student days in Taiwan, iced coffee was the most fashionable and common way of life on the streets. The most important feature of this kind of coffee is that it is easy to operate. All you have to do is put the coffee powder in and start waiting. Maddeningly slow-it takes about three days to drip out a pot, which can be divided into four cups. It sounds incredibly primitive, but it's a lot of fun for coffee makers. The curling kettle is a thin glass structure, more than a foot high, drop by drop of coffee, and looks like an hourglass weighing time. In Taiwanese families, it is not only a tool, but also an ornament. In Taiwan, traditional ice drop coffee is usually made of Manning and Java beans, with the proportion of the first seven and the last three-which also follows the Japanese tradition and tastes heavier because the Japanese like to drink sour. The egg cafe de sofa takes into account the taste of most Chinese, to LAVAZZA and Manning, the first 7 after 3 mix, the taste is much softer, full-bodied, smooth, not choking. Ice drop coffee is usually served on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It produces about ten cups a week and needs to be ordered.

The Vietnamese now like to drink coffee and have become a famous producer of coffee beans in Asia, mainly due to the colonial history of the French occupation. Colonial powers tend to leave behind some living habits after the withdrawal of each other and develop into their own traditions, which may be a blessing in the long run. That's what Vietnamese coffee is like. In Vietnam, the weather is hot, so it is generally popular to "drink ice". Here there are two kinds of Vietnamese coffee: ice and heat-the operation is very simple. The cup can be dripped in one minute to one and a half minutes under the common Vietnamese coffee pot. In the hot summer, the ice is naturally more refreshing. The fourth bean of Vietnam's most famous Trung Nguyen Zhongyuan Coffee is made from four kinds of coffee beans, including Avabica, Robusta and Cherry&Catimor, with chocolate and tamarind aroma. Ice drink 30 yuan / cup, hot drink 28 yuan / cup.

Coffee salon

Recommended: Yeka Snow, Yunnan Tiebika species (Baoshan)

Yuka Xuefen, which comes from the hometown of coffee, Sidamo, Ethiopia, is the top water-washed bean in Ethiopia, which is rare but well-known all over the world. This coffee bean combines intense aromas of jasmine, lemon and charming citrus, with a little elegant fruit acidity and delicate mellow thickness. The taste is very sour, the sweet taste is quick, and the fragrance of jasmine is easy to distinguish. In this cafe in Yandai Xiejie, which is praised as the coffee shop of the city's coffee masters, Yakashifen is also one of the most important reasons why people flock to it.

Drink 35 yuan per cup in the store. Coffee beans, 35 yuan / 100g, 65 yuan / 250g.

Yunnan Tiebika is the most famous coffee variety in China, which grows in the high mountains near the Nujiang River in Baoshan, and is a rare tree species in Yunnan. Due to poor disease resistance, the yield is very low and has not been vigorously promoted by the local government. But its slightly acidic taste and impressive and familiar sesame aroma are the reasons why we pursue it. The palate is mellow and full-bodied. Buy beans, 25 yuan / 100g, 50 yuan / 250g.
