Generally
medium-roast coffee has been distributed except special coffee shops due to distribution
difficulties, but dark roast is highly recommended if tasting acidity and bitters of
coffee. New generation has preferred light and medium roast, American style coffee. If you
are a coffee mania, please find the real taste of coffee by dark roast coffee that has not
been available due to distribution problem. For example, Stabux becomes favorite coffee in
U.S.A by dark roast. The taste of coffee greatly depends on roasting process and therefore
the coffee beans should be roasted suitably to my own taste

The final factor to decide the coffee flavor is mixing proportion of coffee and water. The
mixing proportion suitable to your own taste depends on your significant experience.
Americans mix 3-4g coffee(1 spoon, 15ml) in 150cc water, Europeans do 5-6g coffee(1 1/4
spoons, 20ml). CR-100 made by Imex makes the coffee with same flavor even if roasting only
one half of the conventional amount used. Please feel the original flavor of coffee made
by using 2/3 of the conventional amount. |

The most suitable temperature is 85℃~90℃ for good coffee and you can drink more tasty
coffee if warming up the cup of coffee previously. If the temperature on extracting coffee
goes up over 100℃, the coffee becomes more tasty with bubbling. Espresso coffee and
Capucino coffee are to be extracted by steam with applying the above theory.

Coffee beans keeps the supreme flavor and aroma from
next day after roasting until ten days, ground beans retain it for three to four hours.
Please grind and drink just before extracting if possible.
The flavor and aroma of coffee are to disappear if grinding when
duying green beans. If you enjoy the taste of coffee beans, you have to possess a coffee
maker and a coffee grinder together.
When buying a coffee grinder, an automatic or manual burr grinder
which can control a grinding particle is more convenient.
So as to make sure the newly-roasted coffee beans, the more
transparent coffee is more fresh, when seeing the coffee in the spoon before putting cream
or milk. The more muddy it is, the older. |
