Black coffee is unembellished coffee, black coffee brings the original feeling of tasting coffee. When brewing coffee with a small household coffee machine, the foam on the coffee can be seen visually. If brewed properly, the foam should be even yellowish brown. If the coffee beans are mostly Arabica, the foam is fine, dark brown and slightly reddish; if most of the coffee beans are robusta, the foam is loose and dark brown with gray stripes. For black coffee fans, apart from the mellow and round taste, the most attractive thing about a cup of mellow and delicious coffee is the slightly mysterious aroma of the coffee in the brewing process. Therefore, the so-called taste of a cup of coffee should be from the moment of brewing coffee.

After the coffee is brewed, you should smell its fragrance before tasting it, and then look at its color. Only clear coffee can bring a refreshing and round taste to the mouth. Then sip the coffee in small sips. If you are not in a hurry to drink the coffee, you should temporarily mix it with saliva and air. At the same time, feel the coffee in different parts of the mouth, and then gently let the coffee into your stomach. Only by combining the taste and appreciation of smell, vision and taste, can we really understand the essence of a cup of black coffee. Only in this way can we enjoy the balanced taste of black coffee, which is fragrant, sweet, sour and bitter.

Bitter taste
