Single origin coffee

Single origin coffee refers to a single variety of coffee beans, which are roasted, ground, and extracted before being drunk directly. This type of coffee usually shows the unique flavor of the coffee beans themselves, such as the rich Brazilian coffee, the sweet and sour Colombian coffee, etc. Single origin coffee does not require complicated blending, only the appropriate water temperature and degree of grinding are needed to show the purest taste.

Classic Latte

Latte is an artistic combination of Italian espresso and steamed milk. The mixing ratio is usually one-third espresso and two-thirds milk, but this ratio is not absolute and can be adjusted according to personal taste. If you like a strong taste, you can increase the proportion of espresso appropriately; if you like a milky taste, you can add more milk.

Cappuccino

Cappuccino is similar to latte, but the proportions are slightly different. The proportion of espresso in cappuccino is slightly higher than that of milk, presenting a unique sense of balance. The key to making cappuccino lies in the thickness and color of the milk foam, as well as the degree of fusion of espresso and milk foam. Only with the proper mixing ratio can the best taste and flavor be presented.

Mocha Coffee

Mocha coffee is a drink that combines espresso, chocolate sauce, steamed milk and milk foam. The mixing ratio needs to be determined according to personal taste and the store's unique recipe. The ratio of chocolate sauce and milk can be adjusted according to preference, but the ratio of espresso needs to be kept moderate to ensure the overall balance.

Cold Brew Coffee

Cold brew coffee is made by soaking coffee beans in cold water for a long time. Since the cold brew process will not overheat and destroy the flavor substances in the coffee beans, the taste of cold brew coffee is purer and the sweetness and sourness are moderate. The mixing ratio of cold brew coffee is usually stronger than hot coffee to adapt to the taste of cold drinks. In order to enhance the taste, milk or syrup can be added for flavoring.

Hand-poured coffee

Hand-brewed coffee is a brewing method that manually controls the water flow and time. It has extremely high requirements on the selection and blending ratio of coffee beans. The ratio of hand-brewed coffee is 1:15 to 1:18, that is, every gram of coffee beans corresponds to 15 to 18 ml of water. The adjustment of this ratio needs to be determined according to the different characteristics of the coffee beans and personal taste preferences.
