Bravo! Instant Coffee

Bravo! Instant Coffee

Especially My Daddy's Admiration to Maxim Stick Coffee

Recently, I had quite many time talked with my father since my father listened to me when it comes to the topics are related my classes.

I confessed my lack of topic sources on my blog of coffee, and my father laughed and started to spreading out his own philosophy on coffee which was really biased to his own taste.

Followings are my father’s opinion;

“Coffee is a really wonderful material.

It sometimes is a remedy when I set up a complicated documents. It sometimes gives me a minute of rest. I can hardly agree that Coffee is no good especially for stomach condition. Normally, I take 6~8 cups of sticked coffee a working day, exactly to say, Yellow Maxim Stick Coffee. I almost never suffered stomach problem because of these. I cannot agree it is no good to deep sleep, either. Because I have experienced coffee drinking sleeping situation a lot of times after late breakfast usually on Sundays. My family seems to be never able to understand how a coffee drinking person can sleep while drinking coffee. It is just a prejudice!

Why I became an instant coffee lover?

Yes, it has been quite long time to be like this. When I was roughly 20 years old, I think I might have started to take this instant coffee. At that time, instant coffee was introduced by Dongseo Food company with a shape of flat red rectangular package which looks like Ramyeon-soup pack. It was not granules but like brown flavor mixed with coffee, sugar and dried cream. In a paper cup, soar some hot water in and tear out one side of red rectangular package and pour it in and fold the vinyl package 2 or 3 times to instantly make a stirring stick. After those small labor, instant coffee gives me a time of enjoying of my own relaxation. Isn’t it wonderful?

Many times of repackaging maybe where maybe reflecting an idea for customer’s needs of stirring stick, the recent model of coffee package was introduced. Long plastic package which does not require user’s folding few time to make stirring stick!

This wonderful instant coffee not only gives me a convenience of taking coffee where coffee is almost impossible but also provides me a time of break.

Coffee ventilate and refresh my feeling and changes my attitude to a certain job—giving me a new position to see the job at a different angle, sometimes, allowing to solve it quite easily. Secondly, I really love the taste of mixed instant coffee. Since I travel abroad after the age of 28 years old, for more than 20 years I cannot but think that the best coffee taste is Korean made maxim coffee. Comparing tastes en between, I can swear the yellow Maxim is the best. The red Maxim is a bit strong. I cannot remember where I met the news that Korean instant coffee won Grand-Prix in a blind test, not in Korea but in a foreign country, not sure where.

Am I poisoned, addicted to instant coffee? Maybe! The final reason why I like is that the advertising women models have always been my favorites. It is another important reason that I addicted to the Maxim instant coffee at all.”

The origin of Coffee

Coffee has thousands of history but its origin is uncertain.

 There are two of the representative origins.

 

1 Omar legend

In 1258 Arabia, Sheik Omar was so smart that became a trial chief. One day, Omar went to Mocha village according to his teacher's will and took care of many people and cured them, based on his knowledge. Then he became to cure a princess of the village and fell in love with her. So Omar aroused king's anger and banished to a desert. He was so as tired as almost died. At that time, Omar saw birds eat some fruits like cherry so also ate them. And he felt energy and revived, so came back to Mocha. Omar spread that berry and appreciated again.

2 Kaldi legend

B.C.6-7C, Kaldi was a shepherd in Abissinia, now Ethiopia. Once, he was very tired of goats being in extremely excited and running. He founed it was because of purple fruits that goats ate. So he showed those to monk of his village. The monk said that is devil's fruits and burned out, But from the fruits that was in fire, people felt calm. And also water mixed with the burnt fruits made people vibrant. So the water was named "Kaffa" which means activate in Arabian.

 

The ingredient that the coffee cherry have is caffeine.

 Omar and Kaldi ate the coffee berries and caffeine.

Capsule Coffee Machine

     

The Capsule coffee machine appeared in Korea last 2007.

The coffee machine became popualr as kitchen utensils.

The best advantage of that is easy and fast.

Just putthing a capsule in the machine and pulling lever, then delicious coffee is made.

There is difference in speed according to kind of machines,but only about one or two minutes are needed.

There is disadvantage as well.

Except by price of the machine, you will cost maintenance expenses, abput 800~1000won per a capsule. Comparing to brand coffee that is about 4000won, it is cheaper. But it is more expensive comparing to instant coffee like Maxim which costs 100~200won per a cup.

 

And actually, you cannot change flavor of each coffee using capsule machine.

Because all of them is automated so the machine just perceives the a bar code from capsules and make, the flavor is recipe which manufacturer fixed.

So if you have a specific point when you have a coffee, get information about each company's capsule flavor and buy a proper machine which could satisfy you:)!

Dutch coffee

Dutch coffee is infused using cold water not hot water for some hours.
'Dutch' is named by Japanese because they think it has Netherland's mood. In English, Dutch coffee is called Cold brew.

There are two orgins of this coffee.
One is that sailors carrying coffee beans devised this method on their long sailing to drink coffee.
The other is Dutch people conceived the method to remove a bitter taste of coffee.
But both are uncertain.

The method that gets shot is brewing coffee beans powder in a special equipment for 3~4hours long or up to 8~12hours. According to methods, there are two.

1 Drop of Water method

This method make coffee drop per one drop from container, so is called "tear of coffee".

2 Leaching

This method is that putting coffee beans powder with water in a container and ripening them for 10~12 hours, keeping room temperature. And afterwards, filter coffee grouns from the compounds then you can get espresso.

Dutch coffee is mild, smooth and less bitter than ordinary coffee which is brewed using hot water because espresso is brewed for several hours.
According to your own preference, try it with milk, some syrup or water, rather than drinking the orignal sum.
