Coffee cold knowledge
Coffee is not all bitter.
Coffee contains caffeine, and caffeine itself is bitter, so in our cognition, coffee is bitter. Actually, it's not exactly like this. According to the growing environment of coffee beans, the acidity and alcoholicity of coffee are different. In addition, there will be different flavors such as nuts, cocoa and flowers.
The acidity mentioned above, yes, coffee is not only bitter, but also sour, which is mainly attributed to the tannic acid in coffee. The combination of acidity, sweetness and bitterness in different degrees has created a unique mellow taste of coffee. In the international evaluation system, acid-free coffee is basically negative.
I feel more and more sour when I drink coffee occasionally. This is because the boiled tannic acid is decomposed into pyroligneous acid, which improves the overall acidity of coffee. Generally speaking, the tasting period of drip black coffee in coffee shops is about 1 hour. If you taste the sour taste in coffee, most waiters are lazy ~
The coffee mentioned here is black coffee without milk sugar, not the freshly brewed coffee we often drink. The brewed coffee will be flavored with milk and sugar, and what we drink is not the original fragrance of coffee.
Coffee can lose weight and gain weight.
Generally speaking, caffeine helps to promote metabolism. Drinking black coffee in moderation will not only not gain weight, but will accelerate fat loss. We often drink instant coffee, canned coffee and coffee shop coffee with milk, sugar and non-dairy creamer, so people who want to lose weight should choose carefully. If you really can't stand the bitterness of black coffee, then choose a simple and low-key latte ~!
As for how to use coffee to achieve better fat-reducing effect, we have introduced it in detail in previous articles.
Click to view: Are you still drinking coffee foolishly? Several ways to make full use of caffeine.
There is no milk in the instant coffee.
Instant coffee is an extract obtained by evaporating water in coffee extract. Can be directly brewed and drunk, and is convenient, quick and cheap. It is probably the most common coffee drink. Some instant coffee will have a strong milk flavor, not because it is added? Concentrated milk? But non-dairy creamer provides coffee? Milk feeling? Routine is really hard to prevent.
4. Erguotou espresso in coffee?
If you often drink coffee in a coffee shop, you will find that a special small cup of coffee is very popular with foreigners. This is the famous espresso, which is what we often say.
Espresso is a high-purity coffee extract and a common coffee base for fancy coffee. Generally, about 50ml espresso can make about 400ml fancy coffee, so drinking it directly without dilution is still very powerful (of course, it is really, really bitter).
In addition, there are two common methods to make undiluted espresso, namely, concentrated Kangbao Blue (espresso with cream) and concentrated Macchiato (espresso with foam). The bitterness of coffee is neutralized by foam and cream, and the taste is good ~
Most domestic blue mountain coffees are beautiful lies.
First of all, Blue Mountain Coffee is not fancy coffee such as latte and mocha, but a coffee drink made from Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans, which can be divided into Blue Mountain Coffee and Alpine Coffee according to different qualities. Jamaica's unique geographical environment has created the unique flavor of Blue Mountain Coffee, which is a perfect combination of sour, bitter and sweet, and has an extraordinary position in the hearts of coffee lovers.
The annual output of Blue Mountain Coffee is very limited, and its high quality and huge market demand determine that its price is not close to the people.
However, most of the blue mountain coffee in the domestic market is not authentic. A small part of it uses coffee beans around Jamaica's blue mountain range, and a small part is a blue mountain mixed with high mountains and blue mountains. I don't know what's left (meaningful smile).
If you really have a chance to drink authentic blue mountains, then I only have one thing to emphasize: never add milk and sugar!
6. Cat excrement coffee is the most inhuman coffee.
When it comes to cat poop coffee, my heart can't help pumping. Cat excrement coffee is not coffee made of cat excrement, but coffee beans that a civet in Southeast Asia can't digest and excrete after eating coffee fruit by mistake. Its birth itself is accidental.
When people find that the coffee beans discharged by these civet cats taste better (I can't help asking here, how did the first person do it? ), the disaster happened.
In order to get high profits, some people keep civet cats and deliberately feed them with coffee beans. These poor little creatures lost their freedom and were forced to eat a lot of things that they could not digest at all, becoming victims of human desires. Even if the coffee tastes good, I refuse.
7. The coffee beans of Buck, Starr, Dunlao and Deji can be traced back to their fathers.
? Arabica? These words are common in coffee shops. It is not the name of a coffee bean, but a coffee tree. Arabica coffee bean production accounts for 70% of the world's total, and most of them grow in higher altitude areas, which is the main commercial coffee. Blue mountain coffee, Kenyan coffee, etc. They all belong to Arabica tree species and taste better.
Besides Arabica, Robusta is also a common coffee tree species, which is boring and much cheaper. In addition, there are Liberia and Allabo Stada varieties, which are not common in the market.
8.latte, the deepest undercover in coffee
Latte was translated from Latte and in Hong Kong. Nate? In Italian, it means milk. Just that latte is not a representative of coffee, just that it contains milk.
So when you say you don't want to drink coffee, the waiter in the coffee shop keeps recommending matcha latte (milk with matcha powder and syrup) and black tea latte (milk with black tea and syrup). Really not kidding you ~!
Besides, latte should be an entry-level drink in a coffee shop. Simple espresso and milk with a thin layer of delicate milk foam will not be too bitter and sweet.
Based on latte, different syrups and spices are added to derive various fancy coffees. Most coffee names are honest and frank-just like our athletes? Vanilla latte with vanilla syrup, hazelnut latte with hazelnut syrup and caramel latte with caramel syrup? As for why there is no chocolate latte, because it was unkindly renamed Mocha.
9. Coffee and milk tea have illegitimate children
Coffee and milk tea, as two big mountains in the beverage industry, usually have fierce competition. However, what many people don't know is that they once fell in love and gave birth to a son, and even married a particularly beautiful name? Yuanyang.
To be exact, Yuanyang is made of milk tea and coffee, and I feel that this circle is quite chaotic. Compared with traditional coffee, Yuanyang tastes closer to milk tea, but the role of caffeine can not be ignored. Don't drink too much, or you will not be able to sleep at night.
10. Coffee grounds are not dregs at all.
After making coffee with coffee powder, there will be a lot of dregs left. These coffee grounds look like dregs, but they are actually good men at home. After drying, it can be put into the toilet to remove odor, and can also be used as a dehumidifier. In addition, because coffee grounds contain a lot of nitrogen, they can also be used as fertilizer to raise flowers and plants. In short, don't waste it just because you are black ~!
