To Make a Cup of Coffee Is Not an Easy Task

No matter what jobs we do, if we want to make a masterpiece, then we need good materials or ingredients. So does making coffee. If we want to make a cup of coffee which smells and tastes good, then we need good coffee beans as well. There are three main points to make a cup of good coffee.

First, pick out the high quality coffee beans. Coffee beans mainly grow in north and south latitude 23.5 degrees where are right the areas of tropics. To cultivate coffee beans needs fertile soil, plentiful rainfall, and sufficient sunlight. Also the altitude is important. Form an altitude of 200 to 1500 meters is the most suitable height to plant coffee beans. Therefore, when you buy coffee beans, the first thing is to know the origin of the beans. To know the beans’ origin, you can clearly know the beans’ qualities.    

Second, choose the right coffee machine to make the right coffee. If we want to choose the right coffee machine, we have to be clear about what texture of coffee we like. For instance, espresso machine is suitable for those people who like thick mellow flavor. Because of the process of high pressure, the flower of the coffee will be extracted entirely. Moka maker is anther coffee machine which is popular with coffee lovers. Coffee made by this machine tastes not as mellow as espresso’s. It tastes less mellow but it smells good. As we have seen, using different kinds of coffee machines will make different flavors of coffee.

The last and the most important thing, have a good skill in making coffee. Coffee has five characters. It is mellow, bitter, sour, sweet and fragrant. The reason why coffee has these characters is because the chemical change occurred by the roasted process. If we want to make a cup of tasty coffee, we have to choose the right roasted coffee beans. Next we have to decide the thickness of the roasted beans by using a coffee grinder. After that, choose the right machine to make coffee. When you make coffee, heating control, the times of stirring coffee, the ways of pouring water, and etc. are important. And these procedures all need time to practice.

   Nowadays, when we walk on the street, we can see that almost each one of passerby carries a cup of coffee with them. And most coffee is from Starbucks, Mcdonalds or convenient stores. In my opinion, if we want to taste the flower of the coffee, it is better for us to drink black. Those stores’ coffee, most of it is made by adding much cream, sugar, and other supplements. If we have leisure time, we can buy some coffee beans and coffee machines, and try to make a cup of coffee which is really satisfying our liking at home. We will get much more fun from making coffee by ourselves than buying a cup of coffee from a coffee shop.  (492)
