Why is the authentic Italian coffee so small?
As an Italian who has lived in Guangzhou for five years, Romeo is glad to be able to drink more satisfying espresso in Guangzhou. As a local Italian, the Touch bar in Pearl River New Town is also the foothold of the International Coffee Taste Academy. In addition to fully handmade drawbar coffee machines and excellent baristas, three sizes of coffee cups also show the pride here-whether it is a cappuccino cup or an espresso cup, the size here is smaller than the outside. Why is the cup of authentic espresso so small? Romeo, from Milan, the fashion capital, was dressed in a coffee suit and gently picked up a cup of espresso with two fingers, as if to tell me the answer in an elegant gesture.
Of course, beauty is not the most persuasive reason. "for a long time, the espresso cup didn't have an exact standard shape, until it took the Italian Coffee Institute two years to discover the shape of a standard espresso mug. It should be the bottom half of an egg cut in half. When coffee flows into the cup, this shape is most conducive to turning the oil produced when coffee is mixed with air along the round wall, producing the most wonderful aroma and taste. " Romeo drew a small picture of "grease comes back with a move", adding that the temperature is important, of course, because it doesn't taste good when it's cold, and it's just the size and thickness that will keep you at the best temperature during two mouthfuls.
Espresso means "fast" in Italian, and a standard cup of espresso extracts 25ml coffee from 7 grams of coffee powder in 25 seconds. In Italy, many people go to the coffee shop for a drink on their way to work in the morning, so a barista often has to make hundreds of cups of coffee in two or three hours. Drink faster, too. "Coffee ranks first among the most popular flavors in Italy, and the second is bread, so when you get the espresso, you will smell it deeply, take a sip, say hello to the people around you, and then drink it in one sip." While the 25ml espresso is only reliable in a standard small cup, you should understand why Italian cappuccino cups or latte cups are relatively small, because no Italian will spend a long time sighing a cup of coffee that no longer tastes good.

Malaysian coffee is unique.
Malaysia is closer to Singapore and has more in common in cafe culture and coffee drinking, but the biggest reason coffee gluttons cannot ignore is that Malaysia is the only Liberica coffee producer in the world outside West Africa. This unique coffee has a rich aroma and a light taste, accounting for less than 2% of the coffee grown in the world today.

Caffeine should not exceed 300mg every day.
Some people are still restrained in the face of coffee, no matter how much they enjoy it, and there is a reason for this. Bobo, a senior dietitian who has long been engaged in beverage culture promotion and publishing, believes that busy urban people should adhere to the principle of moderation when enjoying coffee. A digestive study at Stanford University School of Medicine in the United States once set a safety mark for caffeine intake: no more than 300m per day.
