Coffee shop opening guide

The first coffee shop in Europe was established at Oxford University in 1650, and it soon became a "public exchange of ideas" in London, somewhat similar to today's forum BBS. It can be said that before the development of modern printing industry, cafes played the role of media salon to a certain extent.

In 1669, coffee was known by the French, and the greatest influence of cafes on France was reflected in the French Revolution. Most people who have seen Les Miserables remember that the insurgents planned the revolution in the cafe. After the tide of the Great Revolution passed, the cafe was transformed into a gathering place for young artists. The Montmartre Cafe in Paris was mentioned more than once in Monet and Impressionism and the Legend of Picasso; as well as the Latin Cafe, which is a favorite place for writers, poets and philosophers, such as Hemingway, Sartre and Beckett, and Procobo, the first cafe in Paris, is also in the Latin district.

In 1683, Viennese mistakenly got coffee beans that Muslims refused to diarrhea. The first cafe in Vienna, Blue bottle, opened. But these Christians don't like Muslim drinks, and the clever boss Kochisky filtered out the coffee grounds and poured milk into the coffee, which is the prototype of today's LATTE coffee. The Vienna Cafe is characterized by the smell of music and lattes.

Coffee entered Germany in 1670, and serious Germans debated whether coffee was good for health, so cafes did not appear in Germany until 1721. But in the 19th century, the Germans seized the historical opportunity to make a lot of money in the coffee industry. At that time, American coffee planters began to recruit coffee farmers from Europe under the impact of the wave of abolitionism. As a result, at least 80% of Guatemalan coffee beans are shipped to all parts of Europe by German businessmen. The two world wars reshuffled the cards in turn. Today, Germany is the second largest coffee consumer in the world, and its per capita consumption is much higher than that of the United States. Germans can not only drink beer, but also drink lots of coffee.

Italian coffee is always covered with milk foam, Cappuccino is hot milk coffee, Espresso is espresso. In 1945, the Italian Gaja (now a brand of coffee utensils) invented a new type of distiller, which was popular in Europe. Unlike English and French cafes, Italian cafes are exquisite, casual and artistic. It is casually reflected in the decoration and artistic flavor of the cafe. The place where they drink coffee in the open air is surrounded by statues of Colosseum and Michelangelo.

It was only during the Meiji Restoration that the Japanese accepted coffee as a representative of the Western way of life. When many people think of Japan, the first thought is: everything is very expensive. It is true that cafes in Ginza in Tokyo often cost tens of dollars, but the most expensive ones are coffee cups. They like to use English bone china coffee cups to serve coffee, which is worth tens of thousands or even millions of yen. Of course, this is a high-end cafe, most people can go to the real pot on the island. The most powerful thing is that the Japanese enjoy both elegance and popularity: the most expensive coffee is in Japan, and the cheapest coffee, instant coffee and canned coffee are all invented by the Japanese.

Lively Americans don't seem to care much about the appearance and taste of coffee, and they even add eggs to their coffee! The coffee pot commonly used by Americans is called a boiling pot, with coffee powder on the top and water on the bottom, and the aroma of the coffee powder is extracted by steam after heating. This method is easy to cook bitter taste, but Americans do not care, they continue to stir-fry coffee beans in a pan with relish and continue to over-extract coffee powder. But the most admirable thing about American coffee is that it insists on roasting, grinding and brewing on the spot, pays great attention to freshness, and strives to keep it fresh by improving packaging. American coffee merchants are the first to mark the baking date on food bags, a move that has had a huge impact on the food industry.
