Introduction to the description of taste and flavor of coffee roasting degree

Traditionally, the roasting of coffee beans is divided into eight different degrees:

The lightest baking (Light)-slightly yellowish coffee color, not very strong aroma and flavor

Light roasting (Cinnamon)-cinnamon color, slightly better flavor, a kind of American coffee

Ordinary roasting (Medium)-maroon, mellow, moderately sour, a kind of American coffee

Medium baking (High)-A slightly thicker baking method than shallow baking, with bitter acid and good aroma and flavor.

Medium and deep roasting (City)-the word City- comes from New York City and is a standard roasting method suitable for Colombian and New York-style coffee

Strong roasting (Full City)-no sour but bitter, suitable for iced coffee

Strong roasting (French)-French, also known as European style, due to the strong degree of baking, coffee beans fat oozing surface, dark color, strong bitterness, with a unique flavor

The strongest roasting (Italian), also known as Italian style, has a strong roasting degree, and the coffee beans are carbonized black, scorched and without aroma, so they are suitable for brewing Italian steam coffee.

Common coffee taste

There are many kinds of coffee, according to the taste, the common ones are as follows:

Black coffee (black coffee): also known as "black coffee", commonly known as "fast coffee" in Hong Kong-coffee made directly from coffee beans, without milk, etc., will affect the way the coffee is consumed. Instant coffee does not belong to black coffee.

White coffee (white coffee): Malaysian specialty, originated in the town of Ipoh, refers to coffee beans baked in butter, brewed and added to sweet condensed milk. It's essentially a latte. In the United States, white coffee also refers to lightly roasted coffee beans, which are brewed in Italian style and have a strong sour taste.

Flavored-coffee: according to different tastes, add chocolate, syrup, juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange blossom and other different seasonings to the coffee.

Espresso (Espresso): coffee is brewed at the end of coffee ground by high pressure with hot water. A refreshing and refreshing product

The deeper the degree of baking, the higher the temperature of the roasting. Generally speaking, the medium-to-shallow "Northern Italy" baking flavor is bright and light, may have fruit-like acidity, and has very little or no bitterness. Deep high temperature baking "Nanyi" baking flavor is low, full-bodied and smooth, with a caramel-like sweet finish. "French baking" has a monotonous flavor, may have a slightly coke flavor, and is completely free of acidic signs such as "Italy", "Vienna", "Nanyi" and so on. Do not mistakenly think that a bag of coffee beans has anything to do with the above place names-probably not, because traditionally, "Italy" and "Vienna" are synonymous with the degree of baking (or the way of blending). It does not mean that this coffee is made in Italy or Vienna (as mentioned above, coffee beans are not grown and produced in Europe). "Northern Italy" usually refers to medium-light, light brown, unoiled baking of beans; "Southern Italian" usually refers to the deep baking of bright oil and dark brown on the surface of beans; and "Italian baking" generally refers to deeper baking. "French baking (French Roast)" generally refers to the extremely deep baking with a near-black color, slightly coke flavor and no acid. "Vienna" and "Miranchi" usually refer to a mixture of coffee beans of different roasting degrees.
