Hello, I am a 13-year practitioner who has traveled to 32 coffee producing areas
Uncle Xiang has introduced 8 kinds of baking degrees before
Light roast: Strong sourness, suitable for single-item coffee
Cinnamon roast: Cinnamon roast: The appearance is cinnamon and named, and the sour taste is strong
Medium roast: Mellow taste, single piece, blend ️
High roast: Balanced sour and bitter, generally used to blend beans
City roast: Sour taste disappears and the burnt aroma is strong
Fullcity roast: no sour taste and bitterness
French roast: The bitterness is heavier and is mostly used in French ole
Italian roast: The oil is more bitter and strong
However, when we buy coffee products, we generally only see shallow, medium and deep roasting degrees. Coffee berry (coffee berry) if not roasted, the taste is very close to the fruit, is a sweet and sour taste. It can be said that coffee beans are naturally sour. But because most friends don't really like the sourness that comes with this coffee bean, the roaster will adjust the taste of the coffee bean by roasting the degree. In general, the deeper the roasting degree, the weaker the sourness of the coffee beans and the heavier the bitterness.
Although for coffee beans, the professional perspective is the most suitable way to roast, some barista friends will also feel that it is a waste to make a single bean into deep roasting. But for the daily we drink coffee, each has its own love. Just like fresh crab, some friends will like to steam the way to make, think that making spicy crab will be a waste, but some people like spicy taste, they like how to call it waste.
Scratch the point, Uncle Xiang will teach you a simple bean selection principle:
If you prefer something sour, choose a light or medium roasted single-product coffee bean
If you don't like acid and prefer a burnt aroma, choose a deeply roasted blend of coffee beans. Most of the milk coffee and American coffee that you drink in the café are this kind of coffee beans.
Many friends because of the trust in Uncle Xiang, come to the store is often directly photographed the most expensive coffee beans, you know, everyone likes the taste is different, the most expensive is really not necessarily the most suitable for you. Taking care of Uncle Xiang's business is small, so that you can drink your favorite coffee, which is what Uncle Xiang wants to see most.
What kind of roasted coffee beans do you often drink, welcome to communicate with Uncle Xiang more?
