Have you ever wondered how coffee is made?
First of all, where do the coffee beans come from?
Coffee beans are the fruit of the coffee plant, but to be precise, the pits, which prefer to mingle in warm tropical climates such as Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Indonesia, Ethiopia and Guatemala.
The coffee tree grows a bunch of green coffee-like fruits, usually red or purple, with coffee beans hidden inside, and there are four different categories: Arabica, Robusta, Liberia, and Exsa.
Then there is the processing stage of the coffee, and there are two common processing methods, the washing method and the natural method.
The washing method, which is used in places where there is plenty of water, is used to remove the outer skin of the cherries through a mechanical process, revealing a sweet, sticky layer called the pulp.
At this time, the pulp is either peeled off by the pulp remover or placed in a fermentation tank where it comes into close contact with some natural enzymes, bacteria and other microorganisms.
Natural law is also interesting. This is the original "natural" way, which is to dry the green coffee beans directly on the drying bed, and when the green coffee beans are dry, they are peeled and peeled, and only the coffee beans remain.
While this method can cause some quality issues, they will have a subtle sourness, just like fruit or berries, and can also give the coffee an earthy flavor and mellowness, with both depth and complexity.
Finally, the coffee is roasted, and the green beans are roasted into fragrant beans.
This process takes heat and time, usually 10 to 15 minutes. There are different shades of roasting and a variety of flavors, from flower teas and fruits to smoked and chocolate
What's the most amazing thing about coffee?Coffee contains thousands of flavor compounds, and each of these compounds has the same molecular formula as the real compound described in a particular flavor!
That's the magic of coffee, so every cup of coffee is a work of art made by a roaster.
Like mad scientists, they try to find the perfect recipe to fight all sorts of variables and make every bite a consistently delicious.
