Ice water can help the taste of coffee clearly emerge, make every taste bud on your tongue fully prepared to feel the delicious coffee, and also clean your mouth. Secondly, when a cup of coffee is served to you, don't drink it in a hurry. Just like tea or wine tasting, there must be a gradual process to achieve the purpose of relaxation, refreshing and enjoyment. Smell the aroma first and taste the aroma of coffee; Look at the color again and feel the visual impression of coffee.

Third, the taste, first take a sip of black coffee and feel the taste of original coffee. Coffee should be sweet, slightly bitter and slightly sour. Then sip coffee. Don't swallow coffee in one gulp. Put it in your mouth for a while, let the coffee and saliva mix with the air a little, and then swallow it. Don't forget to have a sip of black coffee. Every cup of coffee you drink must go through five years of growth, complicated procedures such as harvesting and baking, and careful preparation by the barista before it can blossom and bear fruit. 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, 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. The best temperature for drinking coffee is 85-88 degrees Celsius. 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, you should soak the coffee cup in boiling water in advance. The suitable temperature of coffee is 83℃ at the moment of brewing, 80℃ in the cup and 6 1-62℃ at the entrance, which is the most ideal. Generally speaking, drinking coffee while it is hot is also a basic etiquette. 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.

Fifth, drink alcohol in moderation. Coffee contains caffeine and should be drunk in moderation. Don't fill a cup of coffee. If you look at a full cup of coffee, you will lose interest in drinking. Generally, only seven or eight minutes is the right amount, and the right amount of coffee can moderately promote the recovery of fatigue and refresh the mind. Ordinary coffee consumption is 80- 100cc. Sometimes if you want to drink three or four cups in a row, you have to dilute the concentration of coffee or add a lot of milk, otherwise it will cause a disgusting feeling. You might as well make more changes in the distribution of sugar to make coffee more delicious.

There are some unwritten traditional coffee etiquette, which may be very important. For example, you shouldn't keep talking with a cup or running around the house with coffee. At this time, you should put the cup down.

Don't add sugar or cream to other people's coffee without permission. If you are a guest in someone else's house, don't pour coffee for yourself or others without permission, because it is the obligation and right of the host.

The freshly brewed coffee is too hot. You can gently stir it in the cup with a coffee spoon to cool it down, or wait until it cools naturally before drinking. It is very impolite to try to blow cold coffee through your mouth.

A coffee spoon is used to stir coffee. Stir gently. Don't make coffee cups jingle. At the same time, don't scoop coffee with a coffee spoon. This is also impolite.

Service etiquette of coffee

Dinner coffee should be put in a small coffee cup, with a coffee tray under it and a coffee spoon attached. The host should inform the waiter in advance to serve coffee in the restaurant or other rooms.

Another way to serve coffee is to put a tray with coffee cups, coffee plates, a set of coffee spoons, coffee pots, sugar and creamer jars in front of the host, who will serve the guests. Note that the coffee spoon is often accidentally dropped on the ground, so if the guest wants to drink black coffee, he doesn't need to be given a coffee spoon. If coffee is served in another room, the waiter can first pour the coffee into a large tray and let the guests add cream or sugar themselves. Another way is to put the tray including coffee pot, cup, plate, coffee spoon, sugar and creamer jar on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and the host will sit on the sofa to serve the guests. When a guest comes to get coffee, the host should ask him how much sugar or cream to add, and then hand the coffee cup to the guest in the right way.
