Known as the "soul" of intentional coffee, with a cup of perfect Esprazo, we can concoct a variety of coffees like Cappuccino, Mocha, Latte and other popular coffees in the world.
Comprehensive coffee beans roasted at a depth of 7 grams, ground into a very fine coffee powder, after 9 atmospheres and a high temperature of more than 90 degrees Celsius, in a short period of 20 to 30 seconds to extract 30 ml of strong coffee liquid with oil and fat is called Espresso.
In 1901, the Italian Luigi Bezzera used steam pressure to extract coffee.
In 1946, Achille Gaggia used the bar method to generate strong pressure and extract coffee grease.
Look: Whether the small bubbles of grease are carefully and evenly distributed in the cup, the color shade and viscosity.
Smell: Smell whether the aroma is pure, whether it smells fragrant.
Drink: Take a small sip and stir it in your mouth with your tongue to experience the sweet and sour bitterness and sweetness.

The content of Espresso caffeine is not higher than other coffees because of its strong taste
. The content of caffeine in Espresso is the lowest of all coffee practices because the coffee and water contact time is the shortest during the production process. The caffeine content per ounce (30 ml) of espresso is about 64 mg. Take Starbucks coffee, for example, Starbucks' espresso has a caffeine content of 75 mg. A cup of 8 ounces (237 ml) drip coffee, its caffeine content is about 95-163 mg In addition, the same drip coffee, the caffeine content of coffee bought in different places is not the same. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that consuming 400 mg of caffeine per day overall has no side effects.
<h1>Latte Cafe Latte</h1>
"Latte" is a transliteration of the Italian word "Latte", Latte means "milk" in Italian, as the name suggests, Coffee Latte is coffee with a lot of milk. The deep and rich Espresso has the warm flavor of milk, making the originally bitter coffee smooth and sweet, luscious and rich.
In Italian coffee, making a cup of authentic latte requires a cup of freshly brewed Espresso, heating a cup of fresh milk to about 65 degrees, and then adding to Espresso, in the café, the bar master also likes to add milk to coffee, using the milk foam generated during the milk heating process to outline various patterns on the surface of the coffee, which is also the coffee latte pull.
It is said that the first person to add milk to coffee was the Viennese Kochski, who opened the first café in Vienna, and now the air in Vienna is always wafting with music and latte, "I am not in the café, just on the way to the café", which is the true portrayal. In 1683, Austria's first café was born in Vienna, introduced to Turkish-style coffee, filtered, and developed European-style coffee by adding honey and milk to the coffee.
<h1>Cappuccino cappuccino</h1>
Founded after 1525, the monks of the Church of Capuchin wore brown robes and a top pointed hat, and when the Church of St. Francis spread to Italy, the locals felt that the monks' costumes were very special, so they gave them the name Cappuccino, which is in Italian for the loose robes and small pointed hats worn by the monks, derived from the Italian "turban" that is Cappuccio.
However, the old love of coffee, found that after the combination of espresso, milk and milk bubbles, the color is like the dark brown robe worn by the monks, so he made a clever move to add coffee to the milk and a drink with sharp milk bubbles, named Cappuccino. The english language first used this word in 1948, when a San Francisco report first introduced cappuccino drinks, and it was not until 1990 that it became a well-known coffee drink.
Traditional cappuccino is one-third espresso, one-third steam milk and one-third foam milk. In modern times, the definition of cappuccino has changed, and it has a thicker milk foam and a more intense taste than a coffee latte.

<h1>Mantenin coffee</h1>
Mandheling, from Sumatra, Indonesia, is a favorite variety for coffee lovers. Her coffee beans are larger, hard, and very flavorful, fragrant, bitter, mellow, with a slight sour taste.
According to Sumatra, during the Japanese occupation of Sumatra in World War II, a Japanese soldier drank mellow coffee in a café and asked the boss curiously: What kind of coffee is this? The boss mistakenly thought that the Japanese soldier was asking: Where are you from? So the boss replied: Mandenine. After the war, the Japanese soldier remembered that the delicious coffee he had drunk in Indonesia seemed to be called Man 'Tenin', so he asked an Indonesian coffee broker to transport 15 tons of Mantenin coffee to Japan for him, which was very popular, and Mantenin was created with false rumors. More interestingly, the broker made the Pawani coffee company (PWN), the most famous in indonesia's coffee industry today, and the trademark owner of today's golden Mantening. ”

This company is a very well-known coffee acquisition company in Indonesia, mainly the acquisition of Mantening coffee, almost all of Indonesia's best production areas have been acquired by it, so most of the beans from PWN company are also unique boutiques. And gold mantine is the product produced by this company, green beans after the acquisition of multiple manual selection, selected full of flawless beans, and finally these as if through the draft like layers of screening of the good beans can be divided into gold mantine.
Aged Mantenin
Aged beans are generally stored in the place of origin with excellent storage conditions and placed in a constant temperature warehouse, so that the best parts of the coffee can continue to be retained after harvesting. To ensure quality, farm owners must also flip a sack from time to time so that each green bean has even access to air and moisture. In addition, storage conditions aside, the real aged beans must also be covered by the inner peel (Parchment), if the inner peel is removed at this time, then the raw beans will be susceptible to deterioration due to the loss of protection, especially in the Sumatra region, humid air and abundant sunlight are easy to spoil the raw beans. Generally, the processing time of aged mantenine varies from 3-5 years, and after the coffee beans are aged, the acidity becomes weaker, the alcohol thickness becomes higher, and the overall texture is fuller, which is completely different from the fresh and bright taste of the new season raw beans.
