Description

Which was named by two famous coffee producing area in  Colombia, Bogota and Cartagena.

Orignal
Origin is the basic classification of coffee beans. The growth of coffee beans requires direct and abundant sunlight. The geographical environment and climate of different regions are different. The appearance, taste and aroma of coffee are all different. Subdivided further, there are named according to the country of origin, such as Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Jamaica, Kenya, Haiti, Indonesia, Cote D'ivoire; there are named according to the production area, such as the famous Blue Mountain, Hawaii, Andes Mountain, Kilimanjaro, Antigua; and named after the port of export, such as Mandheling, Mocha, Santos.

In addition to the place of origin, you can also divide according to the degree of baking. Roasting is the key process of coffee bean processing. The burnt, bitter, sour, sweet, and astringent flavor of coffee is directly related to the roasting process, which is probably equivalent to the frying of tea. The French and Italian roasts mentioned above are coffees with a very high degree of roasting. The color of the coffee beans is dark and black, and the oil leaks out of the surface. This kind of coffee is very bitter and suitable for Espresso and Cappuccino. Relatively speaking, light roasted (Cinnamon Roast) or medium roasted (Medium Roast) coffee beans are lighter in color and aromatic in flavor, which is more suitable for making American coffee.

Brand
In 1979, A&P licensed its brands division, Compass Foods, Inc., to sell Eight O'Clock, Bokar and Red Circle coffee to other retailers including competing supermarket chains. The brand Bokar and its sister brands Eight O'Clock and Red Circle coffee were sold-off by A&P in 2003.

In 2005 Tata Global Beverages took over ownership of Eight O'Clock Coffee Company as well as the Bokar coffee brand. Tata discontinued the brand outside of Canada in 2012. In 2018, Los Angeles, California-based American Modern Coffee acquired the Bokar brand and reintroduced the original coffee blend back into the American marketplace

Instant coffee
This webpages contains brief information on how to make an instant coffee, Instant coffee is a dry coffee extract obtained by evaporating the water in the coffee extract. Instant coffee can be quickly dissolved in hot water, and it takes up less space and volume during storage and transportation, and is more resistant to storage. Instant coffee differs from the extensive and complicated traditional coffee brewing methods, and thus has gained widespread popularity. Instant coffee is not as nutritious as traditional coffee made from fresh coffee beans, with higher sweets and sugar, Instant coffee is great when you need a pick-me-up but don't have a coffee maker. Unlike ground coffee, instant coffee granules are made from dehydrated brewed coffee. Although this means you can't make the actual granules at home, instant coffee is still an easy, tasty way to get your caffeine fix! It's particularly great when iced, and you could get creative by adding spices, whipping up a fancy latte, or making a frosty coffee shake.

Ground coffee
The following steps is the way to make a ground coffee, which can be used in section ground coffee.

Degree of grinding

To properly grind according to the coffee machine used, grinding can be roughly divided into two stages: coarse grinding, medium grinding, and fine grinding.

Coarse-ground coffee is suitable for filter coffee makers (American traditional brewers), medium-ground coffee is suitable for filter-type, flannel filter type, siphon-type coffee maker brewing method, and fine-ground coffee is best for coffee stills. (Also known as drip coffee maker). And remind you that the shorter the brewing time, the finer the grinding particles should be. The smaller the particles, the smaller the area in contact with the hot water, so the brewing time is shorter.

Fresh, temperate water

97% of coffee is water, and only good drinking water can brew the aroma and richness of the coffee itself. It is best to use filtered water to brew coffee. Do not boil the coffee. The boiling water will make the coffee bitter. Note that the temperature of the water should be lower than 96 degrees Celsius. Coffee is best not reheated. When brewing, pay attention to the required serving size only once, and preferably just after cooking. The best alternative temperature for coffee is 85 degrees Celsius.

How to cook coffee beans

First prepare the required utensils: a small hand-cranked coffee grinder, coffee filter paper, a coffee funnel, and a cup, so that you can make simple and convenient hand-made coffee.

1, grind beans

First grind the coffee beans with a grinder (the finest grind).

If none of these tools are available, it can be achieved with a rolling pin and a panel. The method of press-fitting and mashing, in short, is to make the particles fine.

2. Make coffee

If the ground coffee is fine enough, brew it. Put a piece of filter paper in the funnel, and put a cup of coffee powder (8-10) into the filter paper pocket. To avoid leakage of coffee powder, first moisten the coffee powder with warm water, and warm the cup with boiling water in advance. Stand under the funnel. Add the right amount of ground coffee to your taste.

3, brew

Use about 96 degrees of pure water (must be pure water, otherwise it will affect the taste of the coffee), drip a small amount clockwise on the ground coffee, fully pile the ground coffee, wait a moment, after the first water is filtered into the cup, Continue pouring a small amount of water clockwise evenly. When you see the amount of coffee in the cup reaches the desired amount, you can close the cup. Pour the water counterclockwise. (The added water depends on the amount of coffee powder and personal taste.)

4, cook

If you use a casserole or stainless steel pot, heat it with an appropriate amount of cold water. Be sure to control the heat. Cook until the oil foam overflows in 2 minutes. Turn to low heat and cook for another half minute. Filter with filter paper when pouring.

5, seasoning

You can add the right amount of sugar and milk according to personal taste, or directly. This method is relatively simple, but it will not affect the taste of the coffee, but you must pay attention to the temperature of the brewing water and the temperature of the coffee liquid, otherwise it will affect the taste. The coffee beans here are best used instead of freshly roasted and freshly ground, so as to ensure the aroma and taste of the coffee.
