Coffee beans brewed, the aroma overflows

The aroma of coffee beans

Coffee, a drink originating from Ethiopia, is famous for its unique aroma and rich taste. This unique aroma comes from the coffee beans themselves. When we use freshly ground coffee beans to brew a delicious cup of coffee, the intoxicating and memorable aroma will spread.

1. Coffee beans and aroma

To understand why coffee beans give off such an alluring aroma, we first need to understand the beans themselves. Each ripe fruit contains two small plant embryos called "germs." These germs are processed and roasted to become what we call "coffee beans." In the process, many chemicals are also produced.

The most important and influential chemicals are what are called "volatile compounds." These compounds are released during the roasting process of coffee beans and form the unique aroma of coffee beans.

2. Coffee Bean Roasting Process

Roasting is a crucial step in bringing out the most delicious aroma from coffee beans. Different degrees of roasting will produce different types and intensities of aroma.

Light roasting usually allows the coffee beans to retain more original flavor and exude a fresh and fragrant aroma. Medium roasting makes the coffee beans more balanced and soft, and its rich and complex aroma gradually emerges. Deep roasting gives the coffee a rich, full and slightly bitter taste with a strong and lasting aroma.

3. Coffee wave brewing method

In order to fully experience the rich and delicious enjoyment brought by coffee beans, we can try using the wave brewing method to make coffee.

First, put the ground coffee beans into the filter paper and place it in the funnel above the coffee cup. Next, slowly pour in an appropriate amount of hot water to allow the water to fully contact the coffee beans. Then wait for a while to allow the coffee beans to release their aroma and flavor.

In this process, we can see wave-like ripples spreading from the bottom of the funnel. This brewing method not only allows the aroma to be more fully released, but also brings us a visual enjoyment.

4. Taste buds and aroma

In addition to the aroma of coffee beans that our nose can sense, our taste buds can also experience different levels and dimensions of deliciousness.

When we taste a carefully brewed coffee with an alluring aroma, we will be greeted with a rich and complex flavor in our mouth. From acidity, sweetness, bitterness to the rich changes in taste, each element is intertwined with the aroma of coffee beans, bringing us a full range of enjoyment.

5. Preservation of coffee bean aroma

In order to maintain the aroma of coffee beans, we need to pay attention to some storage methods.

First, coffee beans should be stored in a dry, cool and dark place. Sunlight and moisture will cause coffee beans to lose their original flavor. Second, during the storage process, try to avoid opening the packaging bag or container frequently to reduce air contact.

Finally, try to grind the coffee beans freshly before use, because once opened and exposed to air, coffee beans will quickly lose their aroma and some of their flavor.

Conclusion

Whether it is a daily refreshing drink or an indispensable accompaniment to social gatherings, the aroma brought by coffee beans always makes us happy and leaves us with endless aftertaste as the alluring aroma spreads like waves and echoes around us.

So, when you enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, please don’t forget to feel the intoxicating aroma, which is an indispensable part of the coffee world.
