Second, drink coffee while it is hot. Because the tannic acid in coffee is easy to change during the cooling process, it makes the taste sour and affects the flavor of coffee.

Third, don't forget to take a sip of black coffee. Everything you drink

A cup of coffee can only blossom and bear fruit after five years of growth, and it is carefully prepared by the barista after complicated procedures such as picking and baking. So, first take a sip of "black coffee" without sugar and creamer while it is hot, and feel the taste of coffee before it is pulverized. Then add some sugar, take another sip, and finally add cream. In this way, the taste of coffee is on the tip of the tongue.

Fourth, take a sip of ice water before you officially start drinking coffee. Ice water can help the taste of coffee clearly emerge, so that every taste bud on your tongue is fully prepared to feel the delicious taste of coffee.

Fifth, drink alcohol in moderation. Coffee contains caffeine and should be drunk in moderation.

Ancient Arabic coffee culture

When Europeans first came into contact with coffee, they called it "Arabian wine". When conservative Catholics curse coffee as "Satan's drink", they will never think how precious things they have inherited from "pagans".

As the earliest place to drink and produce coffee in the world, Arab coffee culture is as old as its coffee history. In the Arab region, people still have an ancient and long-standing tradition, paying attention to drinking coffee, no matter from the quality, drinking mode, drinking environment or mood of coffee.

In Arab countries, if a person is invited to someone's house for coffee, it is the most sincere respect for the host, and the invited guests should express their heartfelt thanks and responses. When guests come to the host's house, they should be polite. When tasting coffee, they should not only praise the mellow taste of coffee, but also remember not to drink water even if the mouth is full of coffee grounds, because that means that the guests are not satisfied with the host's coffee, which will greatly hurt the host's self-esteem and hospitality.

Arabs are very solemn when drinking coffee, and they also pay attention to the etiquette and procedures of drinking coffee. They have a traditional way of drinking coffee, much like the tea ceremony in China and Japan. Burn incense before drinking coffee, and sprinkle spices where you taste coffee. Then, the host and guests will appreciate the quality of coffee together, carefully study the color and aroma, and then take out exquisite and expensive coffee utensils for appreciation before cooking the fragrant coffee.

Coffee culture in Europe

In Europe, coffee culture can be said to be a very mature cultural form. From the entry of coffee into this continent to the appearance of the first coffee shop in Europe, coffee culture has developed at an extremely fast speed, showing great vitality.

In Vienna, Austria, coffee, music and waltz are also called "the three treasures of Vienna", which shows the far-reaching significance of coffee culture.

There is a famous Italian saying: "Men should be as strong and enthusiastic as good coffee!" How unusual it is to equate men with coffee.

Italians have a soft spot for coffee, and coffee has become the most basic and important factor in their lives. After getting up, the first thing Italians should do is to make a cup of coffee immediately. Men and women never leave their coffee cups from morning till night.

In France, if there is no coffee, it is as incredible as no wine. It can be said that the end of the world has arrived. It is said that at some time in history, the shortage of coffee in France caused many French people to be listless all day, which greatly affected the normal life of this country. 199 1 When the Gulf War broke out in, French people worried that the war would affect their daily lives and rushed to supermarkets to snap up goods. When the TV reporter aimed the camera at the people who snapped up the goods, the camera showed that the customers had a lot of coffee and sugar cubes, which became a joke for a while.

What the French pay attention to is not the quality and taste of coffee itself, but the environment and mood of drinking coffee, showing elegant taste, romantic style and poetic realm, just like those exquisite and moving works of art in the Louvre.

From the day coffee was introduced to France, the influence and shadow of coffee can be seen from time to time in French culture and art. Since the 7th century, many cultural and art salons have appeared in France, especially in the upper class of France, all of which were formed by drinking coffee. In these salons, inspired by coffee, writers, artists and philosophers spread their imagination and created countless literary masterpieces, leaving a batch of magnificent cultural treasures for the world.

Coffee culture in America

The United States is a young and dynamic country, and any cultural form in this country is just like itself, without imprisonment, without sticking to the old model and acting spontaneously, and the coffee culture in the United States is no exception.

Americans drink coffee as they please, without scruples, without European sentiment or Arab attention. They drink freely, comfortably, self-sufficient and aloof.

The United States is the country with the largest coffee consumption in the world. Americans drink coffee almost everywhere. No matter at home, school, office, public places or anywhere else, the aroma of coffee can be heard everywhere. It is said that the Apollo 13 spacecraft, which manned the moon for the first time, broke down on its way back. The ground commander in "Do or die" comforted the astronauts on the spaceship and said, "Don't be discouraged, delicious hot coffee is waiting for you!"

Coffee culture in the office

In some western companies, most companies will provide free coffee for employees and customers. In exquisite companies, several sets of high-grade coffee utensils should be placed, such as exquisite Italian coffee pots and exquisite English bone China coffee cups, which reflect the connotation of a corporate culture.

Providing free coffee to employees of the company is actually a humanistic concern of business owners, showing an affinity. But "there is no such thing as a free lunch", there is a saying in the west that the better the welfare and the stricter the management, the greater the workload of employees. Under the intense work pressure, it is undoubtedly a relief and enjoyment to have a cup of coffee and stretch in the rest area of the company, which bosses who know how to motivate employees have long thought of. Free coffee can be described as "doing great things with little money", which maximizes the physical and mental potential of employees, creates more benefits for the company and the boss, and at the same time contacts the feelings of employers and employees, and also promotes the team concept of employees and achieves the purpose of mutual cooperation.

Coffee has become a symbol of corporate culture and a bright spot of office relaxation and freedom.

American cafes and Starbucks

The first coffee shop in America is Cafe London, which opened in Boston on 169 1. Later, the world's largest coffee shop was born in Boston. It was built in 1808, but it was destroyed by a fire after 10.

Today's American cafes have their own unique form and atmosphere. Like the popular fast food culture in America, most American cafes also reflect the fast-paced lifestyle of American society.

Americans have created many miracles of chain operation in the catering industry, such as McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut and other well-known chain brands, but no one would have thought that Starbucks has created a fairy-tale glory in just 20 years.

Nowadays, when you go to many modern cities in the world, you will see a green circular icon with a goddess on it, smiling and telling you a miracle from America.

You might not be surprised if nobody knew about McDonald's when it was mentioned in China 20 years ago, but wouldn't you be surprised when someone told you that the name of Starbucks, the most famous American coffee chain in the world, didn't even know the Americans themselves 20 years ago?

Not long ago, it was reported that American coffee chain giant Starbucks has more than 6,000 branches all over the world, including 4,700 in North America, and plans to develop to 10000 branches in the near future. Looking around the world, how many chain stores of this size can there be? But who would have thought that Starbucks had only one humble store when 197 1 was established, but only after 20 years, there were 2,000 branches. After 10, the number quadrupled, which is simply a miracle of the world economy. In addition to excellent Starbucks operators, there is also an indispensable role that has created this miracle, and that is coffee.

Anyway, Starbucks is a real coffee shop. Although it adopts the form of chain operation, every branch, whether in North America or China, shows the unique style and atmosphere of American coffee shops. Nearly 30 Starbucks chain stores have been opened in Beijing, and Starbucks in Shanghai is becoming more and more popular among fashionable young people. All over the world, Starbucks is a symbol of fashion culture. Recently, it was rated as one of the top ten brands most popular among fashionable women in the world, which is the best interpretation of the characteristics of American cafes.
