Common blind spots for beginners when drinking coffee

Coffee is one of the three major beverages in the world, made from roasted coffee beans. Coffee can relieve fatigue, refresh the mind, etc. There are many things to pay attention to when drinking coffee. Today we will talk about some coffee-related knowledge that newcomers often get wrong. See below.

1. I only drink matcha latte for coffee

Some of my friends always hear some people who know little about the coffee circle say that they only drink matcha latte.

But dear friends, matcha latte does not contain any coffee at all. So my friends, be careful, don't think this is amazing. I know you just want to express that you are a person with taste through the label of "matcha latte", but sometimes it really exposes your ignorance.

2. Why is there no coffee in matcha latte? Do you know how to make coffee?

My dears, I still want to say that it is not that the barista does not know how to make coffee, but that Matcha Latte does not contain a drop of coffee. Latte was originally called latte, which actually means milk. Matcha Latte is actually milk with Matcha flavor.

In China, if you order a latte, the Chinese barista will make you a coffee latte by default. If you are in Italy, Spain and other countries, and you ask for a latte, the barista will definitely give you a cup of milk. If you loudly scold the barista for not understanding coffee, it only proves that you are uneducated.

3. Why is there so much foam in cappuccino? Too stingy and too profiteer, right?

To understand this point, you need to first understand the proportion of the ingredients in cappuccino, otherwise I don’t know how to explain it.

The characteristic of an authentic cappuccino is the thick milk foam covering the top. The production ratio is 1/3 coffee, 1/3 milk, and 1/3 milk foam. People who order cappuccino originally want to taste the soft and sweet layer of milk foam on the top, so the barista is not being stingy.

4. Your coffee is as light as water. I like the bitter taste of XXX's coffee the most.

Many people make this mistake. I can only say that the quality of coffee is not measured by the burnt and bitter taste. Many coffee shops now buy a lot of cheap and low-quality beans for profit, and can only use deep roasting to make the coffee burnt and bitter in an attempt to cover up its low quality, so dears, please pay attention.

5. Aren’t coffee beans and coffee powder better the longer they are stored, just like tea?

First of all, some teas are not better the older they are. We won’t go into details here, we will mainly talk about coffee.

Secondly, experts recommend that the purchased coffee beans must be consumed within 1 month, otherwise the coffee will start to deteriorate, and the packaging must be sealed when storing, otherwise the aroma of the coffee will quickly disappear.

Therefore, it is recommended that when buying coffee beans, it is best not to ask the seller to grind them into powder in advance. Grind them when you drink them at home to reduce the oxidation of the coffee. Generally, they should be used within 15 minutes of grinding.

Most people have become accustomed to being awakened by the aroma of coffee every day. A cup of strong and mellow coffee has become our support for busy lives, and various coffee shops have become a good place for us to relax and gather.

This is how coffee has won the hearts of group after group of people, making more and more people love it and become obsessed with its aroma. Many new people have joined our big circle and are slowly learning about coffee culture, so these blind spots are very useful. If coffee lovers know of other blind spots, please remember to leave a comment.
