Such topics are of concern to readers. Starting from today, we will begin to issue student cards.

Several reasons to fall in love with coffee

Each applicant has a different view on the reason for learning to make coffee. Young people like to pursue fashion, office workers pursue quality, and middle-aged and elderly people value leisure and health. All in all, the preference for coffee is multi-level and multi-angle, and what we are concerned about is also what our coffee lecture is concerned about.

I like delicate quality.

In terms of sex ratio, the registration status of this lecture hall generally presents a situation of "yin flourishing and yang declining". On the first day of the opening of the hotline, the registration information received by the reporter was almost entirely female. Coffee pursues a delicate quality of life, which is exactly in line with the characteristics of women. Miss Zhang Liwen, who teaches in a middle school in Wenjiang, is a typical example. Miss Zhang said that in fact, before signing up, she had already prepared a set of coffee kitchen utensils and materials and taught herself how to cook coffee, but because of her rusty skills, the coffee brewed was either too many impurities or tasted bitter, far less than the coffee in the coffee shop. Last week, Miss Zhang saw the enrollment notice for the coffee lecture in the newspaper. "only after reading the newspaper did I know that there is still so much knowledge and fastidiousness in making coffee. I really can't do it if I have to study it."

I love the fashion profession.

With the announcement of the sixth batch of new occupations of the Ministry of Labor, barista has also become a new and fashionable profession into our lives. For many college graduates and job seekers, it is an ideal. Xiao Xiong, a college student who is about to graduate, has worked in a bar and is interested in a career like barista. "barista is a job with full personality, large space and elegant atmosphere, which is very suitable for us young people." although there are many coffee shops and bars in Chengdu, there are very few real professional baristas, and most practitioners can only be regarded as comprehensive beverage mixers. "there are few talents and a big market." This is a good reason for me to choose a barista.

I love a healthy life.

The 50-year-old Master Kong has been drinking tea all his life, but recently, he has suddenly changed his taste and makes a cup of coffee every morning. Master Kong said that he actually learned this habit from his daughter and benefited him a lot. "my daughter said that drinking coffee is good for health, especially for mental workers." At the beginning, the bitterness of black coffee made it difficult for Master Kong to accept. It felt like "drinking traditional Chinese medicine", but after a long time, blending with milk, I gradually got used to this taste. After drinking coffee every morning, Master Kong is energetic and clear-headed, and he feels much younger. "my friends all say that drinking coffee is also a choice for a healthy life. I think this is true, so I also want to attend the coffee lecture 1

Be the one who knows coffee best.

As a good barista, he is not only making a cup of coffee, but also creating a coffee culture. So, what is a barista? What conditions do you need? In this regard, the reporter went deep into some famous cafes in Chengdu to capture the professional connotation of baristas in detail for readers.

Grinding experience melts inspiration

Zhou Yiling, a barista from Taiwan, China, has worked as a barista for many years and is well-known locally. With regard to some baristas' skills, he said that baristas are judged not only by the taste of their coffee, but also by "the level of detail".

"to be a real barista, you must first have a good sense of taste and visual discrimination." Zhou said that coffee actually has more than 3000 flavors, but the main flavors are sour, fragrant, bitter, sweet and mellow. So the barista needs to observe the coffee beans, the coffee powder, the foam, and the understanding of the coffee machine if he wants to make all these flavors in tens of seconds. "it is necessary to have a good grasp of the temperature of the machine, the pressure of water and the proportion of coffee beans."

After these basic conditions are in place, professional experience is very important for a good barista. Zhou Yiling said that when making espresso, for example, the production time is usually controlled between 20 seconds and 30 seconds. Because in this period of time, coffee taste and other aspects are the best state, if the time is too long, some of the caffeine will begin to precipitate, more than 37 seconds of caffeine precipitation will begin to rise in a straight line. If you want to keep the caffeine out as little as possible, baristas need to have a good grasp of the waiting time.

In addition, baristas should have relatively high cultural connotations. Only when they have a deep understanding of coffee can they have a deeper creativity and play to coffee. "baristas need to have a sense of art. a lot of coffee is created by baristas at the moment of artistic inspiration."

Want to be a barista

The coffee hall can't be missed.

In the registration of the clubhouse coffee hall, a large number of people come for the profession of barista, and the hotline is very popular. In this regard, the reporter learned that at present, Chengdu has not specially trained baristas as a type of work. Industry insiders revealed that in the past, many coffee practitioners did not receive education and training in line with international standards, but the existing training was not standardized, and many employees were lack of professional knowledge, strong mobility, lack of corresponding theoretical knowledge, and poor hands-on ability. professional ability is low. At present, only individual vocational training schools in China have related training, but the scale is relatively small, has not been recognized by relevant departments and industries, teaching content and methods are not standard, the trainees after training can not meet the needs of the market.

According to the professional needs of readers, this newspaper is actively communicating with relevant departments. According to reports, if you want to obtain the professional qualification certificate of barista, you must pass the formal examination after training. If you have any questions, please consult the party newspaper hotline 962211.

Love it. Don't rely too much on it.

Caffeine, the main ingredient of coffee, has the effects of excitement, refreshing and invigorating the stomach, but this does not mean that drinking more coffee is better for the body. After consuming too much caffeine, the body will have adverse reactions such as restlessness, rapid heartbeat and rising blood pressure. Therefore, timely and moderate amount is the correct "way to drink coffee".

Excessive intake is not advisable.

Although a small cup of coffee is rich in a variety of ingredients that are beneficial to human health, it is worth noting that when tasting strong-scented coffee, you should master the "quantity" and never drink too much.

Xiao Zhang is a reporter for a media in Chengdu and often works late into the night. "I drink four cups of coffee almost every night, but I didn't expect that after half a year, my sleep quality is not as good as it used to be. No matter how late I stay up at night, I don't feel sleepy at all in bed. I still feel like I have endless strength. Now, I can only hypnotize with some hypnotic pills before going to bed every day. Well, coffee really makes me happy and makes me worry.

Relevant experts pointed out that it is beneficial to drink 4 cups of coffee every day, but you must have a good grasp of time when drinking it. For example, drinking a cup of coffee after getting up in the morning can awaken your brain, and a sip of coffee at work during the day can be refreshing, but if you eat too much coffee at night, it will seriously affect people's normal sleep.

It's healthy to drink this way.

1, drink coffee in the morning or between meals, do not drink coffee after or while eating, so as not to affect the absorption of minerals and other nutrients in food.

2. Calcium supplements should be paid attention to when drinking coffee. Caffeine in coffee can hinder the absorption of calcium, and long-term drinking can cause diseases such as osteoporosis. Those who have the habit of drinking coffee should drink at least one glass of milk every day, or eat more calcium-containing foods.

3. Do not drink coffee after drinking. Alcohol has a certain toxic effect on the brain, heart, liver, kidney and other tissues, if drinking coffee after drinking is like adding fuel to the fire, it will aggravate the damage of alcohol to the human body, and its harmful effect is many times more than that of simple drinking.

4. Drink coffee with less sugar. Coffee itself is a high-calorie drink. If you drink coffee with too much sugar, it will double the calories. Drinking such coffee for a long time will make the body fat.

Don't drink coffee before going to bed. The caffeine in coffee can be exciting, and drinking coffee before going to bed may keep you awake for a long time.

6. Drink coffee one cup at a time (about 50 million 100 milliliters), the concentration is moderate, not excessive.
