Last Updated: 2024/11/08, Tannin, one of the main chemical components of coffee beans, accounts for about 7% of the total chemical composition of coffee beans. After extraction, tannic acid will turn into a yellowish powder and easily dissolve in water. Once heated, it will decompose to produce pyrosylic acid, making the taste of coffee worse. Because of this, a cup of brewed coffee will lose its taste and taste if it is not drunk immediately.

Tannin, one of the main chemical components of coffee beans, accounts for about 7% of the total chemical composition of coffee beans.

After extraction, tannic acid will turn into a yellowish powder and easily dissolve in water. Once heated, it will decompose to produce pyrosylic acid, making the taste of coffee worse.

Because of this, a cup of brewed coffee will lose its taste and taste if it is not drunk immediately, which is why there is a saying that "coffee should be drunk while it is hot".

It is generally believed that the duration of a cup of coffee is 10 minutes. If you want to, you can try whether the taste of the same cup of coffee is the same every minute, and 10 minutes later, the taste of the coffee will be much different from that when it was first brewed.
