Went back to the mass beans for a moment to have reference to what I don't like.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
I realized after the first batch, that going only for the “craft” beans, will not allow me to have a good reference for what I am seeking, especially since the acidity test could also be challenged by different brewing methods I used to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coffee Beans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For this case I still had a bag of the mass beans from Auchan, this time Vietnam ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The beans itself looked quite dark and had a strong smell, however nothing out of ordinary just a simple coffee one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
They were easily grinded, dry, no sticking like any normal coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to the brewing I used to mention I am testing few methods. This coffee will also be a reference for those I will update this section or add a new post and link it here, to break into more details. No matter which in the end to color was quite nice, with red hue and not too dark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acidity Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This segment is still being updated, when I brew a new coffee. When it comes to the acidity the results are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee Rating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Flavor<\/strong> – 5 Strong standard coffee, nothing expectational can be distinguished in the flavor<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bitterness<\/strong> – 6 not too bitter after you get used to it after few first sips<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Acidity<\/strong> – 5 for me it had a bit acidic aftertaste however bitterness is stronger than this so it doesn’t last long<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sweetness<\/strong> – 1 nothing sweet here for me<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Initial rating<\/strong> – 5 its just a ok all rounder, will be used in future for references<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • After time rating<\/strong> – To be updated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    This return test is for the new segment references and idea testing, which may be updated in future and also branch in a new type of posts. When it comes to the coffee you may guess from the rating I am not a fan of this  one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
