How does instant coffee come from?
The original invention of instant coffee is to solve the problem of excess coffee beans! More advanced spray drying methods have been developed for instant coffee making.
The method is to vaporize the coffee bean extract with hot steam, leave the dried extract, go through high-temperature processing and so on N procedures, almost all the nutrients are lost, the rest probably only caffeine. And the most seductive aroma of coffee has been lost.
How do you make it up? It's the essence.
It smells great, but it still tastes bad. Never mind! Add sugar, stabilizers, emulsifiers, hydrogenated vegetable oils, preservatives. It just tastes smooth and smooth.

Why does Australia have the best coffee in the world? Where is the best coffee in the world? Who can drink cafes all over the world?
The answer comes out-Australia is definitely the place to drink the best coffee in the world, especially in Sydney and Melbourne. The lost Starbucks American culture was eaten only in two countries: Italy and Australia, when Starbucks became rich in its frenzy to join in stores all over the world.
Starbucks entered the Australian market in 2000, rapidly expanding to 87, but the cold Australian market response continued until 2008, and failed Starbucks had to shut down 61 stores in succession.
So far, Starbucks has fewer than 20 stores in Australia. For locals, Starbucks is nothing but a drink, not a coffee. Starbucks "lost" Australia, which was interpreted by Australian media as a failure to compete with Australia's mature coffee culture. The Age commented: "Starbucks memo: the next time you try to sell ice to Eskimos," the conceit stems from extreme self-confidence. Its roots lie in Australia's unique and mellow coffee culture. Large numbers of European immigrants from Italy, France, Turkey and Hungary have brought with them a rich coffee culture and excellent coffee-making skills, and the coffee culture of various sources on the land has reintegrated. Produce a better Australian local coffee culture.
Starbucks coffee from the United States is short of information compared to such deep-rooted Australian coffee, and Starbucks' standardized service and rapid expansion model offer a very limited experience for consumers. Can not be compared with the "local" Australian coffee shop, like the "classy axe", losing is inevitable.
Peter Eyton Berger (Peter Altenberg), a kind neighbor poet, once said, "I'm not at home, I'm at the cafe, I'm not at the cafe, I'm on my way to the cafe." This is a true picture of the Australians.
Coffee is a necessity for Australians. Most people have a cup of coffee or another breakfast every morning. In the afternoon, they usually have another cup of coffee. The weekend coffee shop is also crowded with people, and everyone has an appointment with family and friends. Let's relax for a cup of coffee and have a nice, leisurely breakfast. The coffee shop here is like a part of Australian life, another familiar space for you to put down your nervous job for a while and find your favorite barista to buy a cup of coffee and chat.
Coffee shop staff are more like friends, family, they can skillfully call out the name of every familiar guest.
Perfect match ratio
Australian coffee picky taste buds, just like the Chinese to tea. Lacquer is good-looking, shop decoration is already the minimum requirement, spell is coffee bean baking techniques, Barista, coffee production techniques, mood and feeling.
Most of the Australian coffee shops have their own trade secrets-unique formula roasted premium coffee beans. So you'll always find coffee on your stomach, and you'll forget it. Locals are humorous and humorous metaphors of coffee shops.
The feeling of coffee, for example, the coffee shop tastes very nice! The coffee shop across the street is very popular with Ms. Soft,. If you look at the annual international barista record, there are always Australians in the first few. Such a picky Australian client has nurtured a world-class barista. The importance of baristes in Australian coffee shops determines the success or failure of a shop. Even if the coffee shop changes owners, it will not be easy to change the chief barista. Because the departure of a good barista means the loss of a large number of old customers. Similarly, if you graduate from the Australian Coffee School, it's not easy to find a job as a barista. You usually work in a coffee shop for more than a year before you occasionally try to make a cup of coffee for your guests.
The baristes in Australian coffee shops are generally good-looking, must have good skills and good physical strength (about two thousand cups of coffee a day, absolute manual work). Must remember well (can remember every old customer's name and their favorite coffee!) Another thing Australians are proud of: Australian coffee is the most customized coffee in the world, and Australian milk adds a lot of color to it.
In coffee shops, few people just say "Latte, please." Usually everyone in Australia has their own coffee habits, such as "A latte with skinny milk, double sugar, extra hot, less foam" (latte, low-fat milk, double sugar, hot, less foam).
Coffee shops with various flavors
Compared to other businesses, cafes can be said to pervade every corner of the city. If you walk into a few cafes, you will find that every coffee shop in Australia has its special charm, and even chain coffee shops will never give up their unique charm in a unified style.
Typically, there are four broad categories based on the geographical customer group:
1. Business Cafe downstairs in CBD
This kind of coffee shop faces the customer to work mainly, the coffee shop staff efficiency is high, the storefront facility quality is high-end, the storefront style is relatively rigorous. This type of coffee shop mainly by coffee flavor and speed, service to retain customers. Open early in the morning, at 6:30 or 7 o'clock, they are already working hot because office workers usually buy a cup of coffee and breakfast at a coffee shop that is familiar downstairs. At the same time, they close relatively early, about 4 p. M., is ready to close.
2. Coffee shops in large business centers
This type of coffee shop customers are shopping customers, relatively small percentage of return customers. This kind of coffee shop, pays attention to the decoration effect, with the unique style to attract the eyeball. At the same time, shopping is a relatively leisurely time, meaning guests have more time to sit down and have a cup of coffee to eat. Therefore, delicious food is also one of the essential factors.
3. Cafes in Town, a small neighborhood.
This kind of coffee shop, the customer is mainly the surrounding resident, the consumer group is relatively fixed. Out of love for coffee, even small communities often open several coffee shops, so competition is fierce. Each shop's style and characteristics are different, but their common advantage is: service! Let you be as comfortable as an old friend's house. At the same time delicious food is also an indispensable element. Homemade muffins are often a recipe for victory!
4, the coffee shop near the most beautiful beach
Guess you don't know, Australians are really stupid, so stupid that even the coffee shop on the edge of the world's most beautiful beach is still a normal price! We are equally honest with aged and child customers! They don't give you high-priced coffee because you're not fluent in English and yellow skin. Personally, I've traveled through many beautiful beaches in Australia, but I've never met a coffee shop like a patron in a scenic spot. So if you plan to travel to Australia, you can definitely feel free to drink coffee on the white beach, eat some delicious western food, and blow the sea wind to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Early in the morning or afternoon, meet friends, or occasionally sit alone, free thoughts like seabirds. A coffee cup, the existence of a table, is the most white, undecorated beautiful.
