1. for the love of coffee -- why i choose this topic

For The Craze of Coffee

     Have you ever  walked through a cafe and been attracted by the aroma of coffee--either from roasting or brewing. Another situation may like you lay back on the couch with a cup of coffee and reading Maupassant's story--enjoying your lovely Saturday afternoon. 

    Indeed, coffee magnetizes me with its scent.  For instance, the coffee connoisseurs are curious about what the kind of scent it is. The scent depends on the producing country or estate. 

2. coffee maker

To Start With--- the coffee maker introduction


  • vacuum coffee maker

A vacuum coffee maker need a heater which make the water in the lower vessel to boil  and thus to create vacuum environment to push water to the upper vessel.  The temperature of this brewing type is relative high, and this way is believed  to be suitable for  light roast coffee beans.   Through this way, body of coffee has tendency to be full. (vessel means the glass bottle)
  • drip brew coffee  
In drip brew coffee, which also be said "filtered coffee", water seeps through the coffee beans and extracts oil and fragrance  of  them. This way can brew a cup of  light or medium body. And the speed of pouring water is the main factor which changes the  flavor.

Though there are many ways to brew coffee, I only learn two above-mentioned ways.  But in my blog, I will focus on vacuum coffee maker. ٩(。・ω・。)و


p.s. "body" is a term that we use to describe the texture of coffee.and the full means there are more oil or more thickness.
Espresso is a typical example for full body.(color is dark)
