Etiquette for drinking coffee

In addition, when westerners interact with each other, there are many occasions when they may need to have coffee together. The following is a collection of coffee drinking etiquette for everyone, I hope you like it!

Coffee etiquette? Coffee drinking steps

The first step is to smell the aroma and taste the original aroma of coffee;

Step two, look at the color. Coffee should be dark brown, not bottomless.

The third step, tasting, first take a sip of black coffee and feel the taste of original coffee. Don't swallow coffee in one gulp, but put it in your mouth for a while, let the aroma of coffee exhale from your nose, and then swallow it.

When drinking coffee, it is best to take a sip of coffee and a sip of cold water, so that every time you drink a fresh taste, cold water is contained in your mouth to gargle. The fourth step, according to personal preferences, add the right amount of sugar and stir with a small spoon. While stirring the coffee vortex, slowly add cream balls to make the oil float on the coffee, keep the coffee hot, evaporate the milk flavor and enjoy the multi-layered taste.

Temperature: The optimum temperature for drinking coffee is about 80℃. Because the texture of ordinary coffee is not stable, it is best to taste it while it is hot. In order not to reduce the taste of coffee, the coffee cup should be preheated in advance. The suitable temperature of coffee is 83℃ at the moment of brewing, 80℃ when pouring into the cup, and 6 1-62℃ at the entrance, which is the most ideal.

Generally speaking, it is also basic etiquette to taste the coffee served by your host while it is hot and drink it as much as possible within ten minutes. If it is a cup of good quality coffee, the taste performance is the same as that when it is hot, or even better, but the aroma will be reduced after cooling. Drinking pure coffee is a drinking method that does not destroy the taste. Adding sugar or cream to coffee is to neutralize the bitterness and sourness in coffee and make it smooth and delicious. Unlike drinking or fruit juice, a full cup of coffee loses interest in drinking.

Generally, 78% is the appropriate amount. Moderate coffee can not only stimulate the taste, but also make you feel tired after drinking, so that your body can recover from fatigue and be refreshed. At the same time, the right amount of coffee liquid can satisfy some guests who like to add sugar and milk directly, and avoid the coffee liquid in the cup being too full after adding sugar and milk.

There are shades of coffee, so you can't drink several cups in a row, just like drinking tea or coke. Ordinary coffee 80= 100cc. If you want to drink three or four cups in a row, you should dilute the concentration of coffee or add a lot of milk to avoid nausea. You might as well make more changes in the distribution of sugar to make coffee more delicious.

Coffee etiquette? The collocation of drinking coffee

● Coffee spoon: If you drink coffee with a coffee spoon, you will be laughed at. The coffee spoon is only used to stir coffee, not to scoop it. Put the coffee spoon aside after stirring. Some coffee shops simply don't have coffee spoons, but only disposable stirring sticks, which have the same purpose.

● Milk bubble: also called creamer or coffee companion, it is actually a kind of plant milk extracted from plants and added with artificial spices. It is only a temporary substitute for fresh milk, not a real dairy product. Milk foam has high cholesterol and is often harmful to health. It is best to use fresh milk as seasoning when drinking coffee.

● Raw sugar: Many people like to add sugar to coffee. In fact, the sugar in a good cup of coffee is also exquisite. In order to save costs, most coffee shops will choose white sugar, but it will affect the original taste of coffee. The really good coffee sugar should be raw sugar, also called yellow sugar, which is large in particle size and yellow in color, and will not sink for a long time on the milk foam of fancy coffee.

● Coffee temperature: Coffee can be drunk while it is hot. Coffee at 9 1.6℃ to 96. 1℃ can give off the original aroma, so it is best to choose a porcelain cup with good thermal insulation when drinking coffee.
