The first step is to smell the aroma and experience the strong aroma of coffee;
The second step is to observe the color. It is best for the coffee to appear dark brown, rather than completely black and bottomless;
The third step is to taste. Take a sip of black coffee first to feel the taste of original coffee. The coffee should be sweet, slightly bitter, slightly sour but not astringent in the mouth.
