How to distinguish a good coffee shop from a bad one

5 features that you should pay attention to if you want to get a delicious and aromatic drink.

I admit, I am a terrible coffeemaker and I do not imagine the morning without a cup of this drink. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of coffee houses in the city, where really tasty coffee is brewed.

1 . Grain of fresh roast

Ask the barista for the date of roasting the grain. The saturated taste and unsurpassed aroma are preserved for a month after roasting, after which they become flat and dull.

2 . Barista must know the grade of grain

The barista must know what kind of grain he is cooking, from which country the berries are, how they were processed, whether it is a mixture or a mono-grade, finally who roasted the grain. So you can pick up a suitable recipe and cook a delicious drink.

3 . Clean work place

Pay attention to the workplace and equipment of the barista. The coffee machine must be clean, the horn is inserted in the coffee machine group, and does not lie on a pallet with coffee remnants inside. Every time a barista should wipe it dry before grinding coffee.

If the workplace is dirty, and the barista is untidy, do not wait for well-cooked coffee.

4 . Coffee must be pre-cooked

If freshly roasted coffee loses its flavor and aroma for several weeks, then freshly ground coffee - in seconds. Coffee should be grinded immediately before cooking, and do not pour the morning remnants from the coffee grinder.

5 . You do not impose sweeteners and additives

If you are persistently offered to add syrup, cinnamon or other sweeteners and spices to coffee, think about it. Perhaps the barista wants to hide behind these additives some flaws in the drink.
