Say goodbye to low-quality coffee. These details will tell you how to find a high-quality coffee shop.

How to judge the quality of coffee is definitely a rigorous science. Mastering the tricks will help you avoid drinking low-quality coffee that will make you regret it. The places where we drink coffee are constantly changing. Whether it is at a conference, an exhibition or during the holidays, you need a cup of coffee to comfort your soul and refresh your mind. When we need coffee, our first reaction is to run to the nearest coffee shop, but did you know that before ordering coffee, we can roughly judge the quality of coffee through clues in the coffee shop.

◆ Check the indoor environment of the cafe . Is the cafe clean? Are there any customers in the store? Does the overall feeling of the cafe make you feel warm and attractive? If the interior of the cafe is dirty and the decoration is old and outdated, the quality of the coffee is probably not guaranteed.

◆ Check the equipment. What brand of coffee machine does the cafe use? Although big brand coffee machines cannot 100% guarantee the high quality of coffee, the brand of coffee machine is definitely one of the important references. Coffee machines from brands such as La Marzocco, Synesso and Slayer are still trustworthy.

◆ Check the barista's grinding method. Is the barista "grinding on demand"? This is very important because grinding the coffee before making each cup of coffee can ensure the freshness of the coffee to the greatest extent. If you see the barista turning on the grinder all the time and grinding a lot of coffee in advance, run away! If you see the barista turning on the grinder after you order, grinding the right amount of coffee, and making it for you on the spot, 80% of the time the quality of the coffee is still good.

◆ Try to avoid big chain brands. Their marketing methods cannot represent the quality of the coffee.

◆ Use your senses to listen to the sound of the milk being frothed and determine whether the barista’s method of frothing the milk is correct.

◆ In addition, you should also pay attention to:

– Size of the milk tank

– Is there a thermometer in the milk tank?

- Spoon in the milk jug

– Coffee cup size

– Is there any syrup on the coffee machine?

– When frothing milk, does the barista move the milk jug up and down to ensure that the milk is fully in the jug?

I believe that with the above points, you can greatly reduce the chance of drinking low-quality coffee. Finally, please remember that people's judgment on coffee quality is always subjective, and only the one you like is the best!
