Preservation of coffee beans:

Fresh beans are suitable for sealed storage in bags with one-way exhaust valves. After use, be sure to evacuate the air entering the bags as much as possible, and then seal them for storage. Usually beans in a cool and ventilated cabinet on the line, as long as not close to the heat source are not too big a problem. Don't put beans in the fridge unless there's a reason! It can be stored in cool place at normal temperature. Because the low temperature of the refrigerator will bring condensed moisture to the package. This is the sweetest coffee! If you really don't have time to drink, but the beans are particularly good, reluctant to throw away can be frozen in the refrigerator freezer, thaw back to drink. Although the flavor will definitely be greatly damaged, it is better than throwing it away!

Bean cultivation:

As mentioned earlier, the freshness of coffee beans has a great relationship with the flavor performance of coffee extraction. But it is not the freshly baked beans that are suitable for immediate extraction. Because the gas in the freshly baked beans is not exhausted, it will greatly affect the stability of the extraction. And some special roasts require more stability in the coffee beans to taste better. So in the world of fine coffee, there is a saying of raising beans. Bean cultivation is to let beans reach the best suitable extraction state after roasting, so that you can drink better coffee. So the question is, how do you judge the time of cultivation? It was a complex question and required a great deal of experience to judge.

Different roasters, different beans, different seasons, different extraction methods…too complicated. I can't explain it! Here I recommend a suitable for most cases of bean raising time for everyone to refer to it. Generally, in winter, the best drinking time is 2-5 days after baking, while Italian beans generally need 15 to 20 days of bean cultivation. Summer single beans can be extracted better the next day after baking, Italian beans are generally 5 to 7 days after the best drinking time. Summer beans must be killed within a month, winter beans must be killed within 2 months.

Find your favorite flavor:

In the third wave of specialty coffee, people began to have a new understanding and understanding of the true specialty coffee flavor. The way coffee is roasted has also developed from the original French, or completely urban roast to medium light roast, and gradually began to pursue the flavor of origin. So the question is, what is the flavor of origin? This is really complicated. Simply put, it is the fruit, flower, almond, chocolate, honey, caramel and other flavors of beans from different producing areas under the right baking degree.

These flavors are basically lost in the traditional deep culture, and the beans are baked deep and only bitter. For example, you can often hear the sweet and sour of Ye Jia Xuefei, the chocolate caramel of Brazil... but the origin of coffee is too much, not an article thousands of words can explain clearly. Here we are simple and straightforward to classify according to personal preferences.

First of all, let's understand the processing method of coffee (coffee fruit to coffee beans). Different processing methods can bring completely different flavor orientation to beans. So this is necessary to understand! Generally, traditional treatments include washing, semi-washing and solarization. Water washing method belongs to the treatment method with higher degree of refinement. The beans treated by water washing method generally have clean flavor, which tends to be fresh flavor. Then there is the sun.

Sun-treated beans have a thick flavor and a rich fermentation aroma. It's accompanied by wine or bread or something! But the sun beans generally recommend that you buy expensive varieties (ARICHA, Kong Jia, etc.), cheap sun beans, because the fine system is not high, rotten beans, worm beans, dead beans and difficult to eat. Most high-grade beans will be used in the sun treatment method, but the refining degree is extremely high. For example, 90 PLUS 'Secret Kiss Stream. Later, people invented semi-washing, honey treatment, red wine treatment and other treatment methods in order to combine the advantages of sun and water washing. Because of the length, I won't say one by one here. You can try it yourself!
