Many of you will be dazzled by the options on the menu when you first step into a coffee shop, and you may end up ordering an espresso by mistake.
What happened next can be imagined, due to the small amount of concentrated liquid and high concentration, many friends will wear a "pain mask" when they first come into contact, thus pulling it into the blacklist.
But in fact, it's just because you don't taste the concentrate in the right way that you will either have a bitter grease or the thin and pungent taste of the concentrate in one bite. And once you've learned how to taste a spresso, it's going to be pleasing and fascinating (presumably). So, how should we taste espresso? An espresso is a small cup of coffee that is obtained through the pressurized rapid brewing of an espresso machine. In many ways, it's a drink that's closer to red wine in terms of how it is drunk. Therefore, Front Street will divide it into three parts: "color, fragrance and taste". Analyze the condensation from these three aspects, so that you can better feel the beauty of condensation!
colorFirst of all, let's look at whether this espresso has an attractive appearance, that is, the golden grease on the surface, because it is the soul of the whole espresso.
Crema is a combination of carbon dioxide, insoluble oils, and aromatic substances! The quality of the oil largely determines the texture and taste of the concentrate. Therefore, it is very important to concentrate with rich, delicate oils!
When this glass of concentrate has a rich and delicate oil, then we must take a big bite when tasting the concentrate, so that the creamy, honey-textured oil can wrap our tongue and mouth, and indulge in silky smoothness! The concentrated fat made from shallow roasted beans will have a relatively weak taste. IncenseIt can be said that the first impression of the aroma is also very important. It's also a "ticket to decide if you want to try it" or not. But espresso doesn't have the same aroma as pour-over coffee, it doesn't spread the aroma as much, and we need to bring our nose to the cup to smell the volatile aromatic substances.
Espresso made with traditional dark roast beans will have a rich aroma of nuts, chocolate, and cream, and you can think of Oreo cookies, butter toast, or cream cake The espresso made from the new light roast beans will have a completely different aroma, light floral, bright fruit acid, very tempting!
tasteThis is the hardest part of enrichment to accept! Because when we first experienced it, we basically only felt the concentrated bitter and pungent taste.
But it's not that bad, and if you taste it, you'll notice that it has a rich nutty, dark chocolate, and caramel flavor! As the coffee is swallowed thoroughly, we will feel the long-lasting sweetness of the coffee that stays in our mouth, also known as the aftertaste! On the whole, it makes people feel like colorful black, which is very good! So, how should you drink concentrate? First, we take a sip of the ice water that comes with the concentrate to clean up the miscellaneous odors in our mouth.
Then, use a spoon to stir and concentrate, mixing its fat evenly with the coffee liquid. 
Bring your nose to the cup and sniff its aroma, then take a big sip of coffee and use your tongue to feel the concentrated touch. 
After drinking, continue to exhale with your mouth closed, and feel the aftertaste and aroma brought by the concentration. At this point, it is the whole process of tasting and concentrating! But remember, the condensed within 25 seconds of making it is its first tasting period. After this time, its aroma and oil will gradually dissipate, and as the temperature drops, its acidity will become sharper, so drink it as soon as possible
