What kind of coffee do countries all over the world like to drink?

French coffee culture

I once heard that France once drank less coffee because of the shortage of coffee, and immediately saw more people taking a nap. This may seem exaggerated, but it is true that the French love coffee. 199 1 The Gulf War broke out in, and France was one of the participating countries. Some domestic people are worried that the war will affect the supply of daily necessities and have rushed to the supermarket to snap up. This incident shocked even the TV station. When the camera was aimed at those customers covered with "scarce materials", they found that they took the most coffee and sugar. This incident once became a big joke at that time.

It seems that the French pay attention not to taste, but to environment and mood. Most of them don't want to "drink alone" behind closed doors. They just want to join in the fun outside. Even a small cup is enough to cook a pot at home. They didn't rush to drink, but drank slowly and carefully, reading books and reading newspapers, and talked for a long time. The French develop this habit of drinking coffee, consciously or unconsciously expressing an elegant charm, a romantic mood and a sense of enjoying life. It can be said that this is a traditional and unique coffee culture. Because of this, the places where people stop to drink coffee in France can be said to be all over the streets, roads, squares, river banks, cruise ships and even the Eiffel Tower. And the form, style and size are not eclectic. There are cafes, restaurants, halls and rooms. The most popular and romantic is the outdoor cafe, which is almost a portrayal of French life. No wonder the tasteful French have a traditional saying that it may be more difficult to change a cafe by the Seine than to change a religion! In an authentic coffee shop, not only regular customers never change coffee shops easily, but also the time to come to the coffee shop and the habit of sitting on which coffee table are fixed. Of course, this loyal relationship is also reflected in the hospitable host. Without saying hello, an old waiter who knows the temper and hobbies of regular customers will bring his favorite kind of coffee, a special snack and even his favorite newspaper. Needless to say, thank you, these are taken for granted in authentic cafes.

Japanese coffee culture

The first coffee spread to Japan was that Nagasaki left the island during the reign of Lu Yuan. People have officially accepted it since the Meiji era. Let's take a look at the history of Japanese coffee!

At first, the Japanese were not used to the time when western European countries opened coffee houses one after another. It can be said that the literature and art of coffee culture were in a period of blooming, and Japan was in a strict closed-door policy during the Edo period. At that time, the most advanced beverage coffee was located in the Dutch Commercial Pavilion near Nagasaki (164 1), presumably brought in at that time. However, it is servants (officials), businessmen, translators and prostitutes who can contact foreigners. 1776 records the first two or three versions of Japan's journey to the north, and finally knows the delicious coffee. The "coffee", which was specially spread to the island as a symbol of foreign culture, could not be popularized at that time.

The Japanese drank the coffee of 1804 crazy singer's playwright. In the book Qiong Pu You Bian, people from Shushan, Daejeon were invited to drink something called "coffee" on a red-haired boat. After the beans are fried into powder and mixed with white sugar, they can't adapt to bitterness and bitterness. From the background that coffee is imported from the island and cannot be widely accepted, the policy of locking up the country has really affected the Japanese's unaccustomed taste of new drinks.

65438-0823 I went to Seybolt in the Dutch Mansion, and I seem to like coffee very much. The book "Edo's Visit to Politics" records that "Japanese people like to drink coffee when they get along with us".

The real popularization began in the mid-Meiji period. Members of the literary magazine Ang, such as Kitahara Masaaki Shirakawa, Takamura Gang, Haruko Sato, Gai Na and others, take Hashimoto-CHO's "Nest of Ambitions" as the meeting place every month. In that shop, you can drink authentic French food, foreign wine and coffee, and it is also authentic French deep roasted coffee. Hong's lair is like a social stage for literati.

From Meiji era to Taisho era, cultural salons like this really helped to produce several coffee houses, and Japan finally entered the atmosphere of coffee culture. However, for ordinary people, it is still a rare shop.

At that time, the coffee shop was a social place for literati or young artists, but at the same time, cheap coffee shops became popular unconsciously. At the peak of Taisho era, there were about 20 branches in China. Why are coffee salons so popular? At that time, the high-end western restaurant had a cup of coffee 15 yuan, but imitated the coffee shops in Paris or new york and completely implemented a cup of low-priced coffee in 5 yuan. Therefore, you can use authentic and delicious original Brazilian coffee for one third of the price. In the famous coffee salon in China, it is hard to count the Japanese who taste delicious coffee. Coffee salons have made indelible contributions to the popularization of coffee.

Coffee lovers did increase a lot in the Taisho era, and were more popular with the public in the Showa era. However, in World War II, coffee was stopped because it was an "enemy drink". In Japanese life, coffee disappeared for some time. As a "messenger of peace", coffee is appreciated and loved by people.

At present, the competition in the Japanese coffee market is quite fierce. Including ordinary coffee and instant coffee in tea shops and at home, coffee at home and in the office, all kinds of canned coffee, plus hospitality coffee, delicious coffee and so on. Especially in Heisei era, the demand for more authentic coffee has also increased.

Vienna coffee culture

Coffee is something that Viennese talk about and are proud of. Viennese even compare it with music and waltz, and call it "the three treasures of Vienna", which shows the love between Viennese and coffee. Some people say that Vienna is "five steps and one coffee", which may be the poet's exaggeration, but there are indeed many cafes in Vienna. From the coffee kiosks on street corners where people stand and drink, to the coffee shops where students gather near universities, and then to the luxurious coffee shops next to theaters and the Imperial Capital, there are at least dozens of them, some of which open at 6: 30 in the morning and don't close until 2: 00 in the morning. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the air of "Music City" is filled with not only the rhythm of music, but also the fragrance of coffee.

The history of Viennese drinking coffee can be traced back to17th century. At that time, there were many cafes in many cities in Islamic countries, and coffee has become an indispensable part of people's lives. But in Europe, people still don't know what it is 1683, Turkey attacked Vienna for the second time. At that time, Austrian Emperor Obeid I signed a military alliance with Polish King Augustus II, and the Austrian-Polish Coalition forces crushed the Turkish attack. The fleeing Turkish army abandoned a large number of weapons and ammunition and hundreds of big bags containing mysterious brown beans on the battlefield around the walls of Vienna. The winning Viennese didn't know what to do with the beans. As it happens, Kolszzki, a Polish spy lurking in the army, once tasted the thick black drink cooked with this baked adzuki bean in Constantinople. Turks call it "Kahve", which is now coffee. As a reward, the Poles got all the coffee seized on the battlefield and opened the first coffee shop in Vienna history. Today, there are still many cafes claiming to be the first opened by Poles to attract customers. But at first, the coffee shop business was not good, and Viennese still preferred drinking tea. Later, the businessman changed the recipe and added milk to his coffee. The effect is surprisingly good, and it was all the rage in the 80s of 17. To this day, coffee is still the most popular drink in Vienna, although there are many kinds.

Drinking coffee has become a part of life in Vienna. In a laid-back atmosphere, people can get together with friends, play chess, read books, write books, read newspapers (usually providing newspapers from many countries) or watch TV in an inconspicuous corner as long as they pay for a cup of coffee. Some coffee shops have their own kind of customers-countries, writers or politicians, while most coffee shops are crowded with all kinds of customers. The most famous cafe in Vienna is the central cafe in the city center. Before World War I, it was always a gathering place for famous poets, playwrights, artists, musicians and diplomats. Some people say that it is the cradle of many Austrian poems, plays and novels, which may be exaggerated, but Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and "Waltz Dynasty" Strauss and his son were all frequent visitors here. Today's Central Cafe is very prosperous, but no matter how crowded, guests can stay as long as they want, which is a century-old tradition of Vienna Cafe. There are many famous cafes in Vienna, which are always closely related to some famous people in the past or present. Viennese like to tell tourists which artists and writers often meet in which cafe, and which politicians like to meet reporters in which cafe. There are many kinds of coffee in Vienna, from black coffee to various colors of milk coffee, each with its own characteristics, suitable for different tastes and names. Therefore, if you simply ask for a cup of coffee as soon as you step into a coffee shop in Vienna, the waiter will be at a loss, because there are at least 40 kinds of coffee. If you don't know much about coffee, but want to experience the unique atmosphere of Vienna cafe, then order the "Melange" we mentioned earlier. This espresso is completely Viennese and has an endless aftertaste. No matter what kind of coffee you want, you will get a glass of water at the same time-for no reason, just because the water in Vienna is particularly cold and delicious. But if the waiter brings the guest a second glass of water, it means "you have stayed here too long".

Viennese like sweets. They like to add a delicate dessert when ordering a cup of coffee. There are many desserts in Vienna, but when drinking coffee, people like Gugelhupf best, which is a unique hollow egg roll in Vienna. Having newspapers, pictorial and magazines for readers is a major cultural feature of Vienna Cafe. This feature also has a historical origin. It is said that before coffee was widely accepted, many cafes in Vienna had to provide newspapers for free to attract customers, because newspapers were expensive at that time, and the price of a newspaper was twice that of a cup of coffee. Of course, this hospitality function of newspapers no longer exists today, but this practice has been preserved and constitutes the cultural taste of Vienna cafes.

Italian coffee culture

There are two things to be careful about when traveling to Italy: first, men; One is coffee. In Italy, coffee and men are actually two different things, with the same effect, so there is a famous Italian saying: men should be as strong and enthusiastic as good coffee! In recent years, the Italian coffee named Espresso in English has been well known to coffee lovers in China. This pure black coffee is thick and fragrant, with a layer of golden foam floating on the surface. It is thick and boiling, like a devil who escaped from hell. It's unforgettable. The characteristics of Italian coffee are reflected in its English name, which is a fast word; I finished it in less than ten seconds, because there were only two or three mouthfuls. The average Italian makes a cup of coffee as soon as he gets up. Men and women drink almost from morning till night. Coffee shops named BAR can be seen everywhere in the street, selling a cup of coffee for about 400 lira, about NT$ 10 yuan, for people to stand and drink it off.

Italians drink an average of 20 cups of coffee every day. Coffee beans mixed with Italian coffee are the deepest fried beans in the world, which accords with the special function of instant coffee extraction in Italian coffee pots. Because the weight of a cup of Italian coffee is only 50 cc, and the consumption of coffee beans is only six to eight grams, this seemingly rich coffee actually does not hurt the stomach at all, and even helps digestion! There is also a drinking method of Italian coffee with milk, called cappuccino, which uses the steam of Italian coffee pot 130 degrees Celsius to soak the milk first and then float on the black coffee. Sweet milk, pure white and lovely; The charming espresso devil suddenly became a wonderful angel under its embellishment!

Turkish coffee culture

The coffee in the ancient Middle East, like the legendary myth in Arabian Nights, is a veiled girl with thousands of faces, which can not only help to get close to God, but also wash away the sad spring. If you want to talk about coffee, you can't help but mention Middle East (Turkey) coffee, because from the standpoint of Islam or Christianity, the origin of coffee is in the remote and mysterious Zhongdongshan District. 13 to 15 centuries later, the Muslim religious community banned the role for 300 years. /kloc-In the 6th century, coffee was officially introduced into Turkey, and began to be commercialized, and spread to the European continent rapidly. This popular coffee drinking method in Greece, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, commonly known as Turkish coffee or Arabic coffee, still maintains the mystery of early religious ceremonies. In traditional Turkish coffee, roasted black coffee beans are ground into fine powder, and then sugar and cold water are put into a deep spoon-shaped coffee pot (IBRIK) made of red copper. After slow boiling, repeated stirring and adding water for about 20 minutes, a small cup of 50 cc espresso is finished. Because the local people don't filter coffee, this cup of coffee as thick as soup is poured into the cup, not only with sticky foam on the surface, but also with dregs at the bottom. In the Middle East, being invited to someone's house for coffee represents the most sincere respect for the host. Therefore, in addition to praising the mellow coffee, guests should also remember not to drink water even if it is full of dregs, because it implies that coffee is not delicious. Arabs drink coffee slowly, and they even have a set of exquisite coffee lanes. Just like the China Tea Ceremony, when drinking coffee, you should not only burn incense, but also sprinkle spices and smell it. A dazzling array of coffee pots is full of Arabian nights. A cup of Middle Eastern coffee, clove, cardamom and cinnamon, is full of fragrance when it is hot. No wonder Arabs praise that musk is as charming as the human heart.

American coffee culture

When Americans drink coffee, it's like playing a game without rules. They let go and everything was forgiven. Americans disdain all the attention that Europeans give when making coffee. Americans are free to drink coffee, and coffee is deeply involved in their lives, which is difficult to separate and has a profound impact, not a life without coffee. It is said that the Apollo 13 spacecraft that landed on the moon for the first time had a life-and-death accident on its way back. At that time, the ground personnel comforted the three astronauts: Come on! Delicious hot coffee is waiting for your return. Whether at home, office, public places or roadside vending machines, Americans can't live without coffee almost 24 hours a day. In this way, one third of the world's coffee production is consumed, making it the country with the largest coffee consumption in the world. Generally speaking, life in the United States is busy and tense, unlike people in Europe and the Middle East who can enjoy life in a leisurely mood. When drinking coffee, it is often a big pot of electric coffee markers. From morning till night, because there is more water than coffee (a cup of10g of coffee is 200 CC of water), American coffee has a particularly weak taste, so many people criticize it as really unpalatable. In fact, all over the United States, coffee lovers can still taste their favorite coffee as long as they spend more time. If pure American coffee is divided into two categories, the east coast of the United States is stronger than the west coast, and the south is stronger than the north. Ethnically, immigrants from southern Europe and Latin America prefer espresso to immigrants from Britain, Germany and northern Europe. In addition, although the United States is the largest exporter of instant coffee, there are not many people drinking instant coffee in the United States. In recent years, they pay more and more attention to the results of healthy eating, the market for caffeine is growing, and the trend of drinking sugar-free coffee is becoming more and more common.
