Coffee is with me, and the end is not alone.

Today, finally to the legendary 2012 doomsday day, I heard that after today, all things will start all over again, I really hope it is all true. Coffee as a cultural carrier, spread from Ethiopia to all over the world, coffee began to be popular in China in the 20th century, and continued to develop. In just a few years, cafes have spread all over China, decorating and influencing. Changing people's busy urban life.

I don't know when coffee suddenly appeared in my life. I, who never thought I would be a barista, has been in this industry for eight years. In the past eight years, I have personally witnessed and felt the changes in the domestic coffee industry, perhaps because of domestic economic reasons, or because of people's quality, or because of the habits of domestic consumers. The development of this industry in China is not so optimistic, why do you say that, perhaps sitting in front of the computer, you will feel more or less, excuse me, what is coffee to you? What do you know about coffee? Do you usually drink coffee? Why do you drink coffee? Why do you make coffee? Why did you open a shop? Why don't you even know coffee, or even think it is a luxury? Now, even if you don't know what coffee is, you should be more or less aware and understand. Yes, as you might think, now people don't understand coffee, of course, this is not all, because after eight years in this industry, they still know a lot of master baristas who are very good and understand coffee in this industry. when you talk to them, you can feel that they are still a little disappointed with the industry, although they are still optimistic about the industry. Are still working hard to change the industry.

Only after working as a barista for many years did I feel that drinking individual coffee is king, perhaps for personal reasons. I don't still like fancy coffee. If I were allowed to drink it, I certainly couldn't drink a cup, half a cup at most. Now it's enough. I feel that fancy coffee is very greasy, especially the coffee made on the market is really no different from sugar water. I don't like sweets very much in the first place. Now, on the contrary, there is some aversion to drinking fancy coffee, while drinking single coffee is different. Different single coffee has different flavor and taste, even the flavor is different. Maybe you usually don't feel heavy taste, because you eat hot pot for a long time, especially friends in Chongqing. Most of the taste is not very sensitive, rarely can drink the faint taste of coffee, I have seen drinking Mantenin can only drink bitter taste. Colombia can only drink sour, Yega can only drink sour, basically can not drink the deep taste of coffee, and even more outrageous, some people will compare the sour taste of white vinegar with caffeic acid. I was shocked at that time. I have to say, people with heavy flavors can't afford to be hurt. But then again, drinking coffee also needs to be particular about people, just like eating at a table. Chefs often say that it is difficult to adjust the taste, so the taste will be moderate, moderate is moderate, and moderation is tantamount to no personality. Coffee is a personalized drink, as just said, different producing areas, different varieties of coffee will have different tastes, not every type of coffee can meet the needs of your taste buds. So be sure to find out the taste you like in a lot of coffee, just like you drink tea. If you usually love coffee, I hope you can find yourself in the coffee and find the coffee taste that suits your life.
