How about the taste and mouthfeel when selecting coffee beans?

Selecting coffee beans is a task that requires careful tasting and discrimination. Everyone has different tastes and preferences for coffee, so when choosing coffee beans, we need to consider our preferences and the varieties that match them.

First, pay attention to the origin of the coffee beans. Coffee beans produced in different regions have unique flavor characteristics. For example, coffee beans produced in Brazil are mostly soft, balanced and nutty; coffee beans produced in Colombia are known for their high acidity, fresh and floral aroma; and coffee beans produced in Ethiopia are known for their rich and complex fruity aroma.

Secondly, you need to pay attention to the coffee bean processing method during the selection process. Wet processing will make the taste brighter, higher in acidity, and bring a fresh and floral flavor; dry processing can give the coffee beans a richer, sweet fruit or chocolate-like flavor.

In addition, the degree of roasting is also an important factor affecting the taste. Light roasting will make the coffee beans retain more of the original flavor, with higher acidity and a fresh and bright taste; medium roasting will produce a richer flavor, but also a certain acidity and bitterness; dark roasting will give the coffee beans a rich and strong bitterness and burnt aroma.

Finally, when tasting, pay attention to the comprehensive consideration of aroma, taste and aftertaste. Good coffee should have rich and complex aromas, such as chocolate, nuts or fruits. When tasting, we can pay attention to whether its taste is balanced and smooth, and whether it has appropriate acidity or bitterness. In addition, after drinking, pay attention to whether the aftertaste is long-lasting and pleasant.

In short, when choosing coffee beans, we need to choose according to our own taste and preferences, and take into account factors such as origin, processing method, and degree of roasting. Only by constantly trying and experiencing different types and styles of coffee beans can we find the one that best suits our taste.
