两杯冰美式摆在一起，一杯是透亮的琥珀色分层，一杯是绵密的浅金色泡沫正在缓缓下沉，像被风吹散的细沙落回杯底。视觉上差很多，喝起来也不一样。分层的冰美式头一口淡、末了一口浓；流沙这杯从头一口到末了一口，浓 [more…]

湿刨法三个字我查了一路，才懂醇厚原来是有来头的。印尼群岛的咖啡版图像一串散落的绿宝石，苏门答腊、爪哇、苏拉威西各自产豆，可真正让全世界记住印尼咖啡名字的，还是苏门答腊北部林东高原上的曼特宁。那里雨水多 [more…]

你端起杯子想要的那种温柔，其实不需要倒牛奶进去。奶油感是咖啡自己就能长出来的气质，来自油脂、烘焙和冲煮方式的三方合谋。换句话说，一杯黑咖啡喝出含了口奶油的错觉，完全成立。巴西波旁日晒酿出圆润油脂骨豆种 [more…]

两杯并排放在吧台上，一杯是冰美式，一杯是气泡美式。肉眼上看，后者杯壁挂着更细密的气泡，液面泛着一层薄薄的咖啡油脂沫。喝一口冰美式，口感是顺滑的、往下沉的；气泡美式一进嘴，碳酸先轻轻扎一下舌尖，然后果香 [more…]

两杯咖啡并排摆桌上，一眼就能分出谁是卡布奇诺、谁是拿铁。卡布奇诺的奶泡鼓出一截，勺子搁上去不往下沉；拿铁的液面平得像镜子。喝起来差别更大，卡布奇诺头一口是蓬松的奶泡，接着浓苦的咖啡撞上来，牛奶只是托底 [more…]

两杯并排放着，一杯先倒奶再淋浓缩，一杯先倒浓缩再倒奶。肉眼上看，前者颜色匀得像太妃糖，后者顶上一圈白、底下黑得发苦。喝一口，先奶后咖啡的那杯，香气是从喉咙里反上来的；反过来那杯，头一口全是冰牛奶，喝到 [more…]

Dalgona coffee has taken the internet by storm with its cloud-like, velvety foam and caramel-sweet flavor, while the frozen version of Dalgona coffee needs only one extra step of chilling to transform the coffee foam into an ice cream-like texture, with layers that rival a snow-topped coffee. But when making it, should you use espresso or instant freeze-dried powder? What exactly are the differences between the two in terms of whipping difficulty, flavor expression, and final mouthfeel? Front Street Coffee conducted two sets of comparative experiments using freshly brewed espresso and instant coffee powder respectively, recording everything from extraction parameter adjustments and whipping time to the texture of the final product, to help you find the method that suits you best.
