The original flavor of coffee

From the process of thinking and analyzing the taste, I know how to discuss the wonderful flavor of coffee with friends. Sometimes friends are more enthusiastic to bring different coffees to share with me, drink the coffee brought by their friends, and discuss the taste of these coffees with each other, which is really good. Since there are many reasons for making a cup of coffee, we all wonder at the end of the discussion: is there a way to objectively judge the flavor of coffee?

After learning to analyze the sour, sweet, fragrant, bitter, mellow and astringent of coffee, you may have two questions: (1) is there an objective way to compare coffee? (2) is there any way to record the taste?

The way to compare coffee:

Cup method

The purpose of making a cup test is to objectively judge the original taste of coffee. When you first get a batch of beans, or if you want to try the flavor of matching beans, or test your own roasted coffee beans, it is the time to use the cup test. There are many ways to measure the cup, as long as we can objectively judge the flavor of coffee, it is a good method. The following provides a method for your reference:

1. Grind the coffee beans 1.5 times and put them into the cup.

two。 Add freshly boiled hot water 150c.c.

3. Smell the coffee.

4. Remove the coffee grounds from the top with a spoon, or gently push the coffee grounds away with a spoon to break the grounds.

5. Serve some coffee with a spoon.

6. Record the taste

The way to record the taste

In Life Coffee (4), we introduce sour, sweet, fragrant, bitter, mellow, astringent and other flavors. Let's record the taste on the basis of these tastes. Record the date of your cup of coffee, the variety of coffee, and so on, and then record the taste of the coffee one by one. We divide it into levels 1 to 5, 1 means no 5 is very clear: 1=Negligible (no) 2=Week (weak) 3=Satisfactory (clear) 4=Outatanding (clear) 5=Extraordinary (very clear) there is no key to writing this, as long as you drink coffee often and often compare its taste.

Personally, I think it is better to regard cup measurement as a concept than to regard it as a fixed method. The concept is to judge the flavor of coffee. There are many ways to achieve this concept, and they are not confined to formality. Pour hot water directly into a glass pot and add coffee powder to shake and filter. It can also be used as a cup test. Even the French pressure control variable is a very convenient cup method.

Bean merchants or cup test competitions of various producing countries, in order to judge the flavor of beans more objectively and accurately. Projects that will be judged in more complex ways are also different.

After the taste has improved, do you also feel the beauty of coffee? By this cup measurement and recording taste, you can further improve your taste. Maybe you have begun to brew coffee with professional utensils now. can the improvement of taste make your brewing skills improve as well? Slowly, we started with the most simple and convenient American coffee maker, and the taste and research of coffee went to the next level together.
