Coffee is native to tropical regions. The first coffee tree in the world was discovered in the Horn of Africa, which is now Ethiopia. Local aboriginal tribes often grind coffee berries, then mix them with animal fat and knead them into ball-shaped balls. These balls are regarded as the most precious food by the locals and are specially enjoyed by the warriors who are about to fight on the battlefield. I think it uses the refreshing effect of coffee. It's just that people at the time didn't know it.
The earliest coffee fruit in the world was dried and boiled and drunk by the Arabs, which is the embryonic form of coffee today, but the Arabs at that time used it as a potion to help digestion, and then slowly discovered that it was more refreshing. The role of refreshing, and because Islam prohibits the consumption of alcoholic beverages, coffee is used instead of alcoholic beverages, which is often drunk as a refreshing and stimulating beverage. So far, people of certain Islamic nomads in the Middle East have to cook a handful of coffee beans in a handmade copper kettle after eating mutton in the shade on the Gobi Desert to digest and digest the greasy mutton. That scene is also pretty good.
It was only after the 15th century that coffee spread to Egypt, Syria, Iran, and Turkey. Spreading to Turkey is equivalent to spreading to Europe. Because Turkey fought in the European interior in the early years, many soldiers in the army, including generals, have the habit of drinking coffee and have been stationed for many years. Later, when the army evacuated, they left behind. A large number of materials including coffee beans, with these coffee beans, the Viennese and the French learned the techniques and experience of making coffee drinks from the Turks. After years of popularization, Europeans used this magical drink in the 16th century. Incorporating into one's own life becomes a custom and eating habit. A perfect coffee culture with a European atmosphere has gradually formed.
After being spread by European missionaries, coffee was able to travel all over the world. (Speaking of missionaries, I think they are actually using colonial methods to spread coffee beans to other places in the world suitable for coffee cultivation, and use the labor of the colonized to make money for them) Although today’s relatively large coffee plantations are all The use of coffee has brought great economic benefits to countries such as the prosperity of India, Brazil, Cuba, Vietnam, Taiwan and Hainan. But the history of colonization in these places cannot be erased. Because of being colonized, the current economic gains are made, which is really dumbfounding. Maybe my statement is wrong, but there is still a connection. Stop commenting on history, let's talk about coffee!
Although there are many types and flavors of coffee, such as Blue Mountain flavor (not many, because only 40,000 bags are produced every year), Alpine flavor, Sumatra Mandheling flavor, Mocha flavor, Cuban Crystal Mountain, Kenya aa, etc. . However, Italian coffee is a strong method, and Italian coffee is also a representative of European coffee. Including Espresso, Cappuccino
latte, macchiato, etc. The method is also very particular. In Italy, most Italians make two things on their stove every morning, one is milk and the other is coffee.
Speaking of espresso, the only thing I have to mention is Espresso espresso. The extraction method of this kind of coffee is the espresso machine invented by the Italians. A good coffee machine is expensive, and my consumption consciousness is not up to it. More than 10,000 yuan, I don’t have the spare money to make up the fence. I rarely use this kind of machine in Italian homes. They use steam moka pots. The price is cheap. I have one, but it’s made in China. Yes, the principle is the same, there is no need to buy imported ones. If you want to make some fancy coffee, you also need to buy a milk shaker, a latte cup, a coffee bean grinder, and your favorite coffee beans. To make fancy coffee, milk froth is very demanding. The best is Nestle whole milk, which is exclusively for Starbucks. It is hardly sold on the market, only go shopping online. I didn't buy it. The poor and middle peasants don't believe in evil, so I just use Yili pure milk, and I can also make it out. Below are my coffee belongings, which have been fun with me for more than 4 years. "
