National emblem of Tanzania

National emblem of Tanzania

The face is divided into four parts: the burning torch at the top cuts through the pre-dawn darkness and lights the flame of freedom and hope; it is painted with the Tanzanian flag; and below on the red ground are crossed tomahawks and spears; finally, the waters of the Indian Ocean and the lakes in the country. Below the shield emblem is Africa's first peak, the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro; the melting ice peak nourishes the earth, and coffee and cotton grow on both sides of the peak, representing the country's booming agricultural production. A pair of local men and women guard both sides of the shield emblem, holding ivory. On the white ribbon across the hillside, Tanzanians express their desire for "freedom and unity" in Swahili: to brew a good cup of coffee, in addition to fresh coffee powder and slightly harder water, there is also a set of easy-to-use brewing tools. There are three main types of coffee machines in common use.

Drip filter: wet the coffee powder with water and let the coffee liquid flow through the filter cloth or filter paper and flow into the container at the speed of natural fall. Basically, this method does not soak the coffee powder, just let the hot water pass slowly through the coffee powder. Both the drip cup and the electric coffee maker fall into this category and are the simplest brewing tools that can make clean and brightly colored coffee.

Bubble type: put the coffee powder into the pot, soak it in hot water for several minutes, and then filter out the coffee grounds by a filter cloth or screen to form a cup of coffee liquid.

Siphon pots, drip pots, Belgian coffee pots and Vietnamese coffee pots are all follicular brewing tools, and they all have a soaking process to form a more complex taste.

High-pressure type: use pressurized hot water to penetrate the compacted coffee powder to produce a thick cup of coffee in this form of tools such as a mocha pot and an espresso machine.

Quick brewing method: can use Italian espresso machine, faster coffee brewing method. The espresso machine can extract several cups of coffee successively. The oil and gum in the coffee beans can be emulsified and dissolved under high pressure during the brewing process, and the essence of the beans is completely extracted by pressure, making the brewed coffee stronger, better in taste and flavor.

Mixed preparation:

First: choose good quality coffee beans, because the use of poor quality coffee beans, of course, will greatly damage the flavor of coffee, even if the production of a very balanced single coffee, but also can not make delicious coffee, the choice of good quality coffee beans is the biggest point.

Second: get rid of defective beans, mixed with defective beans, the taste will become worse. Therefore, it is better to be missing than rotten to get rid of the defective beans without stinginess. For example, long worms with holes, abnormal development, shell without benevolence, will be picked out.

Third: understand the characteristics of coffee beans, if the individual characteristics of the coffee beans to be blended are not well understood, it is difficult to mix good or desired coffee, such as mocha coffee is more sour, it can not be used to dilute the sour taste of coffee.

Fourth: understand the different degree of roasting, the degree of roasting of different coffee beans is different, their flavor is also different, so we should also have a good grasp, such as Kilimanjaro, Blue Mountain is generally medium-shallow baking, carbon roasting is deep baking and so on.
