    Dang. I did not expect so much to be covered in such a short amount of time. Coffee, beans, fermentation, location/altitude, roast, caffeine and chemical reactivity in the brain, brewing methods, all the way to drinks in the shop. Clearly there is a ton more detail that can be explored, but what a great introduction!

      I dunno, my Keurig doesn’t give my coffee a plastic taste, and I’m buying coffee from restaurants every other day, so it’s not like I’ve gone taste blind. The taste of Keurig coffee, overall, isn’t bad at all, but I do prefer other brewing methods, as the Keurig produces a weaker coffee to me even when I use the “strong” brew setting. Not bad enough for me to toss my Keurig- I’d rather just add another coffeemaker to my “collection,” preferably a Vietnamese or French coffee press. I’ll have the Keurig for convenience and one of those two presses for strong, roasty perfection and the ability to pick out and grind my own coffee beans.

I buy my beans close to roast date from local dealers. I grind them. And I brew each individual cup for myself. I love it.

      I hope you pay attention to how the flavor changes over that first 10 days from roast date. Depending on the roast, chemical reaction continue for up to 2 weeks after roast (thus the off gassing and increase in container pressure if you keep them in a sealed jar or tupperware), with the "flavor peak" (subjective) generally 3-8 days after roast.
      It's fun to play with a standard cupping method each day to try and notice changes in the flavor development, and then try something different for the second cup.

      Exactly. It's an art. And it's magical. Every different bean has different magical qualities.. Coffee goes stale after about 10 days after roasting it. So it's really important to grind freshly roasted beans. I was told that Starbucks actually roasts their own beans so it's always fresh..

    1. Natural in comparison to - Washed is -> more sweet, less intense, creamier
    2. High (African countries) - Low attitude (Starbucks/Indonesia)-> more fruity acidic, creamier, cancels bitterness
    3. Stronger - Mild roast -> carmalized, chocolaty, bitterly but not overwhelming, savoury, but further from the bean taste
    4. French press - thicker. ,texture, fullbodyness -vs. Quimex (idk) more clarity, more flavour, how the taste changes

    @josephsmilanick9925 2 года назад +1

    He is a good speaker and the talk is presented well. He is correct, that under anaerobic conditions, respiration ends with glycolysis, and the terminal product is lactate. However, in plants the terminal products are different. Under anaerobic conditions, respiration also ends with glycolysis, but the terminal products are not lactate but primarily acetaldehyde and ethanol, with small amounts of other compounds. Ethanol is what is measured to determine if the plant tissues are injured under low oxygen stress, among other metabolites. Another subject - it seems very unlikely that the tissues of the coffee would be oxygen deficient - plants consume oxygen but produce abundant oxygen, more than they need, within their tissues as a byproduct of the oxidation of water during the photophosphorylation step of photosynthesis. All atmospheric oxygen is likely a result of this reaction in plants. My guess is a major difference between low altitude grown and high altitude grown coffee would be the thermal environment. Plants grown at higher elevations with mild days and cold nights typically have a high content of acids and complex secondary compounds that contribute to flavor, while those grown at low altitudes, especially in the tropics, metabolize the acids during their warmer nights and don't develop complex flavors. Wine grapes are an example of this - they are sweet but don't have complex flavors when grown in warm places (especially the nights) - you need cold nights (like Napa Valley or Paso Robles) to get grapes with complex flavors and deep color for wine making. Sorry for the prior lecture - I am plant pathologist.

    Hi pal. I am Indonesian. And not all coffee here grow at low altitude. To be honest there is a lot variety grown at high altitude. Like bajawa, wamena and aceh gayo.

    This is so interesting! I like how humans grew to love coffee so much they invested so much time in it and for example found out how oxygen played a role. You don’t see that with cucumbers haha.

    I’ve been lucky enough to visit several Kona coffee farms in Hawaii. One of the things that’s unique about their coffee is it’s all handpicked so they only use ripe red cherries. It’s an exceedingly high quality, smooth cup and is worth the high price. The best way to buy it is direct from the farm online so you know it’s fresh! Ka’u coffee is also excellent. I like to prepare it in a pour over.

    I have tried many coffees in the US and I have tried many coffee traveling to Central, South America and Africa and all those coffee are really bitter and apparently it is because of the type of coffee they have and specially because of the process of getting the final dry coffee bean. The only coffee that was perfect in flavor, smell, bold, rich and not bitter was the Colombian Coffee and I learned why. Colombian coffee has a very precise process where they use clean water, they pick only the best red coffee beans , and most of the coffee plants are Arabica coffee plans. Really the best coffee.( I am not Colombian)

      If you found this video helpful, you may also want to know that coffee has some components that can help decrease lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that can result from leaky gut or SIBO! One of those components is cholorogenic acid. This is important because LPS can harm the liver and the brain!

    OMG ,YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO ME MAN ,
    Because when i moved to the USA i was a kid and noticed that filtered and dark roasted coffee are weird for me back then but now i get it
    “The total emerging” coffee is the way we drink it back in 🇾🇪 YEMEN
    The production process for Yemen Coffee beans has stayed the same for over 500 years. Small family farms plant on terraced fields carved into the Yemen landscape. The coffee plants are raised in the old way, without any use of chemicals. Once the fruit, referred to as “cherries” are ripe, they are hand-picked. The beans are not removed from the fruit, but dry-processed together. The fruit goes through a special drying period in caverns, and in some cases, on rooftops
    .... thanks

    Who loves coffee the first time they try it? Well, when my daughter was three, she wanted to taste my espresso, så I poured her half a cup and let it cool to lukewarm. She scoffed it down in one swig, professed that she loved it and drinks coffee to this day (she's eight at the time of this writing)... To be honest, she is a little weird :-D

      If you liked this video, you may also want to know that There are advantages and disadvantages to consuming coffee. One population study on 4 million international individuals found that daily, consistent coffee consumption led to 8-28% reduction in all-cause mortality (prevention of chronic disease)! On the flip side, too much coffee can result in negative side effects, such as headaches, ear ringing, nausea, vomiting, and gastric distress.

    Great video! I would recommend you include where coffee originated, what species of beans exists (e.g. arabica vs robusta), and also to include "Cold Brew" as an option as well. More than French Press, I would say Cold Brew is the diametric opposite of conventional brewed coffee.

    Hi Chandler,
    Thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge about coffee, I genuinely feel much more educated now. Can you also maybe present your view on the after effect of each kind of roast.? I normally try to avoid the dark roast because it leaves my mouth dry and makes me feel really thirsty. Also, how is freshly brewed different from expresso? I find an americano much smoother than a freshly brewed coffee at Starbucks and also drinking freshly brewed gives me a rush and wears me down pretty quick, whereas, the americano has no such after effects and keep me going nice and smooth. Any thoughts on that?
    Thank you in advance!

    Awesome video thank you, I think I need to re watch! just got my first bean grinder and pour over filter, with medium-dark roast beans from Brazil, I love the chocolateyness. One thing I noticed from real coffee is I don't need to add milk, instant coffee I do. Pretty sure I am going to take my filter into work so I can still get a decent cup in the afternoon.

    This was super interesting! Being new to coffee brewing, and knowing about the importance of consistency when it comes to grind size, I've been wondering: How about brewing coffee using whole beans, which have not been grinded? Yes, it would require a long brewing time, but could you make a super good coffee this way? It's seem you, being biochemist and barista, is the right person to ask. Thanks!
