"fresh" is the most important factor in buying coffee beans.
1. Look: grab a handful of coffee beans and feel whether they are solid beans with the palm of your hand.
2. Smell: whether it is enough to smell the fragrance close to the nose.
3. Pressure: fresh coffee beans are fresh and crisp, and the fragrance floats out when they crack. You can put a bean into your mouth and bite it twice. The crisp sound indicates that the beans are well preserved without dampness.
4. Color: dark black coffee beans, the coffee brewed has a bitter taste; yellow coffee beans, the coffee brewed has a sour taste.
Good coffee beans: neat shape, bright color, roasted by single stir-fry, mellow after cooking, full of stamina.
Bad coffee beans: different shapes, incomplete individuals, light fragrance after cooking, not sweet enough.
From the above, we can draw the following summary:
Fermented beans: coffee beans that fall from the soil before harvest. The sour smell will have a great impact on the taste of coffee.
Dead beans: also known as unripe beans, or affected by climate and other factors, imperfect development, fried spots will be produced after baking, so that the coffee has a green taste.
Black beans: fermented beans, rotten, blackened coffee beans. Because it is black, it can be distinguished from normal coffee beans at a glance.
Borer beans: coffee beans eroded by insects
Defective beans: may be stuck during work, or carelessly handled during handling, resulting in incomplete coffee beans. Will cause fried spots when baking, and will produce bitter and astringent taste.
