Although it is said that how you drink coffee can depend on your own preferences, but it is easy for us to miss out on some of the delicious flavors of coffee. The characteristic of coffee is not only the taste, but also the feeling when tasting it. Just like Dirty, if you drink it after stirring, it is almost the same as an iced latte.usOf courseDecide how to drink it according to your own preferences, but if you want to experience the characteristics of a cup of coffee more comprehensively, Front Street believes that you might as well try a drinking method that matches it. It may bring you a completely new and completely different experience like Dirty.Coffee that needs to be stirred before drinkingMany coffees are suitable for drinking after stirring, such as espresso, iced latte, or various iced coffee flavors. Due to their respective characteristics or production reasons, they are obviously stratified after being made. If they are drunk without stirring, their experience will not only be greatly reduced, but may even lead to a completely negative experience.Take espresso, for example. Because it uses pressurized extraction, the espresso will have a thick and dense layer of oil. This layer of oil can enhance the taste of coffee, making it taste more mellow and silky. However, due to the light weight of the oil, it will separate from the coffee liquid after a short period of standing. The light oil will float above the coffee liquid, while the heavy coffee liquid will sink below, that is, it will be in a stratified state.When the concentrate and oil are separated, the oil cannot improve the taste of the coffee liquid, the coffee will not taste as mellow, and the oil will not be so smooth due to the lack of water. At times like this, we need to remix the coffee liquid and oil through stirring so that they have an excellent texture again. And this is why many people stir it with a spoon before tasting espresso, in order to make the coffee taste more delicious.There are also things like iced latte and iced flavored coffee(flavored latte, mocha, charcoal...), some special coffees and other iced coffees, we also need to stir them before tasting them. The reason is also very simple. These are products that are originally meant to be tasted after blending coffee with other materials such as milk. However, in order to make the products more beautiful, merchants will deliberately create a gradient effect of layering concentrate and milk.Usually iced coffee is tasted with a straw. If there is no stirring, the first thing we drink must be the milk or other ingredients at the bottom. At the end of the drink, it is the espresso floating on the surface.Of course, it's okay if some friends like it, but it's not acceptable to most friends. Especially for latte with flavored syrup, the syrup will sink to the bottom due to its high density. If you inhale it without stirring, you can imagine that the whole mouth will be filled with sweet syrup, which is not terrible.We have been lucky enough to see cases like this in many coffee shops, so before tasting iced latte, flavored coffee, or special coffee, we'd better stir it first and then taste it.Coffee that needs to be drank directlyBut what we need to know is that there are also layers specially made for a more unique tasting experience, such as the "Dirty" mentioned earlier on Front Street. The reason why it is layered is not just for visual effects, but also to create a more unique drinking experience!in"Why Dirty Takes a Big Dirty First Sip"In this article, Front Street introduces to you the reasons for Dirty layering. Compared with other milk coffees that pursue "perfect fusion", Dirty pays more attention to the "independent existence" of milk and coffee.By layering it, we can taste the double contrast in flavor and temperature of milk and concentrate in one bite.The concentrated caramel aroma and the sweetness of the milk, the warmth of the coffee and the coldness of the milk are full of contrast! And this also makes the flavors of both sides become more obvious and prominent because of the contrast.As for a drink like this, which requires tasting both at the same time to experience its charm, there are certain restrictions on how to drink it, that is - just drink it without stirring. Only by drinking directly without stirring can we drink "independent" concentrate and milk at the same time, and taste the contrast between the two at the same time.If you just take a small sip, if nothing else, you will most likely only be able to drink the espresso that floats on the surface, and then the concentrated taste will create a mask of pain. And if you stir it, it will become a regular iced latte.In addition to Dirty, there are many coffees that need to be drank directly, such as the Herbalife Blue that Front Street has been sharing. Herbalife is based on espresso and squeezed with a layer of cream. If we only sip it in small sips, we can only sip the sweet cream on the surface but cannot taste the concentration at the bottom. The existence of cream is mainly to balance the bitterness of coffee, so when we taste Herbalife, it is best to take a big sip and drink the cream together with the espresso at the bottom~There are also hot coffees with milk foam such as hot latte and hot cappuccino that need to be savored in large sips. Because the thickness of the milk foam in these milk coffees is not too thin, if we only taste it in small sips, we can only sip the milk foam on the surface.Coffee milk foam is mostly bitter in taste(Unless it’s flavored coffee with syrup added), so if we don’t want to suffer from the milk foam floating on the surface, we can take as big a gulp as possible and ingest the coffee liquid underneath~Of course, the espresso mentioned earlier is also a type that can be savored in large sips. Not only espresso, but also small-cup special products derived from espresso such as macchiato, Cuban espresso, and Roman espresso, which can be enjoyed in large sips.Although initially the taste buds will be affected byThe extremely high concentration causes the concentrated taste to be stimulated when we take a sip, but when we swallow it and immediately close our mouths to take a breath, the bitter taste will dissipate and be replaced by a rich aroma that rises from the mouth and a pleasant and long sweet aftertaste. The bigger the mouthful you take, the richer and richer the experience you get after swallowing, but the premise is that you must be able to accept the concentrated bitterness, otherwise Front Street does not recommend trying it easily~(Finally, Front Street still needs to add one more thing. There are many ways to drink coffee, and you don’t need to stick to a certain one. Here at Front Street, I just want to share with you how you can drink coffee. But in the end, how you drink it depends on your own preferences and how you like it~)
