The steps of drinking coffee like a connoisseur

Coffee is an expensive agricultural product

Coffee, like wine, is an agricultural product. Like wine, it changes every year under the influence of climate and light, and it also shows different tastes due to different places of origin. The above-average coffee beans are basically Arabica coffee beans, which grow only at an altitude of 900m to 2000 m. There are absolutely no more coffee beans in the world than in red wine producing areas, and high quality coffee beans are basically concentrated in Africa and South America. In the western coffee appreciation circle, the evaluation of Asian coffee beans is not very high. Despite the sudden rise of Kopi Luwak in Indonesia, in the traditional coffee industry, "New World" coffee is still the most to look forward to.

Must-read rules for choosing coffee

Good coffee needs a good growing environment, a "matching" climate at that time, a barista who has a deep understanding of coffee beans in the process of grinding and filling coffee, and several aspects that cooperate with each other to make a perfect cup of coffee. We suggest that under the premise of conditions, try to buy vacuum coffee beans, not coffee powder bricks.

Coffee beans need to be roasted before they can reach the peak of their flavor. Although coffee beans should be drunk fresh, they are not as fresh as possible. Just like red wine, some wines should be drunk that year, but they also have to be aged in wooden barrels for three months. Some wines have to be aged for three to five years before they leave the factory, and then they have to grow in the bottle for a few more years to reach the best taste. Generally speaking, when you buy the coffee beans home, tie the beans in an ordinary plastic bag, and find that the bag rises the next day, it shows that the coffee is still in a very dynamic stage. Oxygen and humidity are the enemies of coffee preservation. Do not keep coffee in the refrigerator.

Drinking coffee can be a lifelong career.

There are also selection activities in the coffee industry, and coffee tasting is a profession. At the coffee contest, coffee appraisers pick up a little coffee with a spoon and suck it into the mouth, making it foggy, which is just one way to judge whether coffee is good or bad.

Generally speaking, coffee is divided into coffee beans and single-origin coffee beans. Mixed bean coffee is mainly used to make espresso and all kinds of fancy coffee. due to different roasting methods, we often hear that some are French coffee-there are more than a dozen kinds of beans from a single origin, and when you choose coffee from a single origin, you have to think about whether you will have a preference for coffee with outstanding characteristics. Espresso is different from coffee shop to roaster. If you drink it, you will feel as smooth as cream, which means it must be a good espresso.

In the process of training baristas, the "coffee nose" is the same as the wine nose used in the training of wine referrals. In wine, we can feel more than 200 kinds of taste, while in coffee we can feel more than 1200 kinds of taste. Do you want to feel all of them? Drinking coffee as a lifelong career may be possible.
