Cafes with World characteristics recommend that you can become a coffee expert after visiting these cafes.

There is no denying that Starbucks used to be a symbol of the way we know coffee. I once thought that I had entered the coffee world with a paper cup full of mochas in my hand. It was not until I witnessed the change of a coffee from seed to cup, learned the whole process of planting, picking, processing, transportation, roasting, grinding and making, and tasted all kinds of coffee, that I was amazed that the coffee had such a rich taste. This is amazing!

The process from seed to cup is the process of producing boutique coffee. Fine coffee is produced with the improvement of people's requirements for the quality of coffee. So far, the coffee world is divided into three waves.

The first wave arises from instant coffee, and most people's understanding of coffee still stays in this wave.

The second wave is the emergence of coffee chains represented by Starbucks. Take the deep-roasted coffee beans as the representative, sell the environment and concept, and use fancy coffee to mask the taste of the coffee itself.

The third wave is boutique coffee. For people who really love coffee to provide individual coffee (single producing area, manor and variety), the use of light-roasted coffee, the pursuit of exclusive flavor.

Robusta grows coffee mainly to make instant coffee. Most boutique coffee uses Arabica to grow coffee.

The American Fine Coffee Association points out that coffee with a score of more than 80 points through a comprehensive cup is fine coffee.

80% of the taste of coffee depends on roasting. The flavor of roasted coffee beans reached the highest value in about 4 days.

Coffee must be ground freshly. 70% of the aroma of coffee will disappear in two minutes and stale in 15 minutes.

Unlike the assembly-line products of big-brand cafes, only boutique cafes can drink really carefully made boutique coffee. A small coffee bean will bring us into a wonderful world of coffee.

If you are also a little curious about the world of coffee and want to know the whole process of coffee from planting to production, you don't have to go to the coffee college to study. Read more popular science books about coffee, go to more boutique coffee shops, and discuss coffee knowledge with the cafe owner, so that you can get rid of the coffee "rookie" stage soon.

On the introduction to coffee, I was the first to recommend my teacher, Coffee Coffee, written by Qi Ming, founder of Pulan Coffee Institute. His profound explanation is easy for beginners to accept. In addition, I recommend the Coffee Taguchi Taguchi, a Japanese coffee master. These two books will help you to understand the coffee world from two angles.

In addition, I would also like to recommend several shops that people in the coffee circle in Beijing and Shanghai will patronize, which are the favorite choices of my teachers and friends.

In fact, in addition to Beijing and Shanghai, especially in Xiamen, Qingdao, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places, there are many very good boutique cafes worth recommending. From the moment you enter the door of coffee, the world of coffee opens to you. What you need to do is to explore along your curiosity all the way, and you will find a wider world. If you think the coffee path is too esoteric, you can also start by trying the easiest cup of hand-brewed coffee.
