There are thousands of kinds of coffee, but I only drink the one I like best

Coffee has more than 850 kinds of aromatic substances. Faced with descriptions such as dry and moist aroma, fruity and caramel sweet, rich and delicate, and high acidity, isn’t it a bit confusing?

It doesn’t matter. In this article, I will teach you 5 key points to choose your favorite one.

aroma

The aroma of coffee is divided into dry aroma (fragrance) and wet aroma (aroma). Dry aroma refers to the aroma that evaporates when the coffee is ground into powder, while wet aroma refers to the aroma produced after the coffee is brewed.

Grind the coffee beans into powder, put them in a cup, and sniff the volatile aromatic substances of the coffee. The intensity of the aroma represents the freshness of the coffee beans, and the different aromas also represent the different characteristics of the coffee beans.

fragrance

Pour 150ml boiling water into the coffee powder and soak it for 3-5 minutes, and stir it quickly with a coffee spoon. The high temperature of the hot water will release a rich aroma of the coffee powder. If you sniff it hard, you can smell different flavors such as fruit, chocolate, and nuts.

The aroma of coffee is related to its variety, origin, etc. Among so many aromas, there is always one that is your favorite.

smell

Use a small coffee spoon to take out a small spoonful of coffee water and place it in front of your mouth. Suck the coffee into your mouth forcefully and hold it in your mouth for a few seconds so that the coffee is evenly distributed on the surface of your tongue. All your taste buds can feel the sweetness, saltiness, sourness and bitterness of the coffee.

Temperature has a great impact on the taste of coffee. The higher the temperature, the sweeter the coffee will be, and the lower the temperature, the more obvious the sourness will be.

A thousand people have a thousand tastes. You need to try and feel for yourself which coffee tastes the best.

Balanced and mellow

Coffee liquid has a rich taste created by oils, carbohydrates, fiber, etc. High-quality coffee will make people feel full and smooth in the mouth, rather than thin and watery.

The overall flavor of the coffee can also be perfectly blended, rather than having one feature stand out too much and affecting the overall drinking experience.

Aftertaste

After drinking a cup of coffee, the aroma and flavor will linger between your lips and teeth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

Swallow a small portion of the coffee and feel the aftertaste of the coffee. Some have the flavor of chocolate, some have the flavor of campfire smoke, or some have the flavor of cigar smoke. If the astringency is too strong, this cup of coffee will not be very pleasant.

Through the above 5 points, I believe you can already choose your favorite coffee.
