Coffee cavity Guide is a very foreign thing.

The word "coffee" didn't exist until the late Qing Dynasty. The Chinese were the first to call this stuff drunk by foreigners "black wine". During the Tongzhi period, a book on making foreign rice was published, which taught Chinese cooks how to cook western food and called it "fat." According to later generations,"coffee" became a Chinese word, which should have started in 1915 in the "Chinese Dictionary."

Since then, coffee has become a very foreign thing. Even Fang Hung-chien and Chao Hsin-mei, on their way to San Lu University and passing through the pheasant inn in Chinhua, could spot this "black and fragrant stuff with a layer of white foam floating over its face," not to mention the "ten-mile-long market." When Deng Xiaoping was in trouble in the Central Soviet Area, he did not forget to bring a coffee pot with him. It can be seen that coffee, as a symbol of western style, has long been recognized by urban and rural tyrants. After a few decades, Zhou Daguan of Shanghai Beach even more to coffee from the situation, to show Guo Degang and other garlic party disdain.

Along with this wind everywhere flowering, is all kinds of cafes all over the country. One of Ber's favorite sayings is "I'm not in the cafe, I'm on my way to the cafe." Long before Starbucks invaded China, pretentious criminals had frequently appeared in desktop coffee shops such as Shangdao and Cross-Strait. The biggest feature of these cafes is that besides coffee, they also serve various cheap meals, and without exception, they are decorated with ambiguous lights, Kenny G's saxophone is played repeatedly, and chess and card services are provided in the private rooms. Second-tier city middle-aged strange Shu Li and small three date favorite to choose such a place, drink table coffee is not tight, if you happen to like Zhang Xiaoxian or Yi Shu, might as well write in Qzone: "I don't drink coffee, but I love to go to the cafe to sit, smell that strong coffee fragrance, that taste is full of literary flavor."

Younger Douban Ber prefers those independent cafes. All of these restaurants are hidden in old houses, piled up with all kinds of junk collected by shopkeepers. The walls are either hung with pirated movie posters or posted with various travel photos. There must be Lijiang or Lhasa in them. The euphemism is "always on the road". In the corner, there is probably a scrapped brother typewriter and globe. Often, there is a fat cat that will never open its eyes. The background music of this cafe is always French chants or jazz like "La Vie En Rose", which is the favorite tune of female Ber wearing 400-degree myopia lenses. They always order cappuccino, latte or fancy mocha, are far more interested in pulling flowers than coffee itself, then pull out a printed iPhone and take a few art photos with filters and post them on Instagram, often with an open English book. Independent coffee shops are equipped with manual pull machines, which puts high demands on the craftsmanship of the shopkeeper. According to the geographical theory, the average level should be the first in Shanghai. In a city where coffee supplies were not interrupted even during the Cultural Revolution, it is difficult to open an independent cafe without two brushes.

Diaoguang is also the love of Douban Ber. At present, it is said that it has opened to more than 40 homes, which is regarded as a challenger to foreign brands such as Starbucks and Costa. The ingredients and equipment used in these chains are usually better than in small shops. For example, the beans are basically illy, the coffee machine is La Cimbali, and the bean grinder is also Mazzer. Take Star House as an example. All employees are strictly trained, and there are guidelines in the Green Apron Manual. Whether it is a fully automatic Marena or Verismo, or an old manual La Marzocco, they can operate skillfully. The disadvantage of standardized products is that they are amazing and difficult to find, and the advantage is that they are stable in quality, so they are highly sought after by business Ber who pursues moderation. If it was a more advanced Ber, he could not just be satisfied with ordinary coffee beans. At this time, he had to rely on cat poop or blue mountain to improve his strength. However, after the cat droppings were fried hot, Southeast Asian aborigines also found bamboo rats in addition to civet cats to increase production. If you want to drink authentic cat droppings or blue mountains, restaurants such as Jialumeng and Jamaicablue are the first choice for safety, because they are traders of high-grade raw beans.

To evaluate a cafe, it is important to see whether his coffee is well made. The Lumazi on Hunan Road in Shanghai proudly never sells varieties with milk. Even if it was mixed coffee, it was also about the skill of blending itself. If rich flavor syrups and spices could be found in this restaurant, they could only stay at the lower level of the contempt chain. Then look at the equipment, expensive automatic coffee machine is not necessarily more than semi-automatic, take WBC World Barista Competition, competition is always the craft of the players rather than the coffee machine high-tech. Tima Harbour has a Cheesecake to eat. As for startup cafes like 3W, no one actually goes there for coffee.

Senior Bers aren't content to just stay in cafes. They can definitely find siphon pots in their offices or homes. This is the equipment that truly tests patience and craftsmanship. If you want to squeeze into the top of the contempt chain, you have to learn to do cup testing. Only when you can skillfully evaluate the dry fragrance, acidity, alcohol, sweetness and aftertaste of a bean can you talk about the origin and doorway of coffee. On weekdays, you might as well visit websites like coffeereview.com to keep pace with the times and enrich your vocabulary. As for the top Ber, he only carried a few earbags with him. Perhaps it was Alamid, perhaps Kopi Luak, or more likely, his own exclusive recipe. He hid in the corner of the green car and chewed garlic all the way to his distant hometown.
