If coffee is a sweet remnants of colonial times, the coffee situation assumed alarming in our country today is a bitter consequences of the subsidy period lasts.

In recent years, in addition to additives, there are many types of harmful chemicals added to coffee. Not only fillers, type "coffee" completely using soy mixed with chemicals of unknown origin, as has been disclosed in the mass media. Before this situation, to avoid confusion when buying coffee, consumers should have a basic knowledge about coffee.

In terms of consumer trends, the world there are 3 types of coffee as follows:

The second type is used coffee aromas. This type of multi-national brands generally manufacture. The purpose of the use of flavoring is identical to the taste of the product, whether it is produced from raw coffee yet, in any country.

The third type is coffee flavored and mixed use padded some other ingredients such as chocolate, cocoa, chicory, coffee substitutes other. Particularly in Vietnam today, additive composition also includes soybeans, corn, cheese, sauce ....

Coffee is considered to be true when one of the three categories mentioned above and the manufacturer announced the components of that kind on the product packaging.

The publication is not correct, complete or false disclosure on product packaging coffee is considered as false. Coffee author in Vietnam mainly coffee in step 3 above, but stated on the packaging components like type 1. More dangerous ingredients added to coffee are harmful because the chemicals are not for food, unknown origin.

How to recognize real coffee - author:

With roasted coffee (brewed phase): There are two ways can be used alone or in combination in order to check the following:

Option 1: observation coffee powder: Coffee roasters pure color and size uniformity regular coffee powder, coffee powder porous. Padded coffee laced with color by mixing heterogeneous types of materials to be roasted separately. Coffee powder coated non-porous, higher humidity.

Method 2: a little experiment, can do at home:

Pour cold water glass 2/3 full, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of ground coffee in a cup of water on the surface and observe.

Natural coffee will float on the water for a long time. After about 10 minutes, coffee powder began to sink slowly little by little. When coffee sink, new brown fade out water and form a liquid crystal-clear color Puce (detailed by the solute from the coffee powder with water, boiling water).

In contrast, coffee pad sink very fast, has kind of sunk immediately, as long as only about 5 minutes. Phase fillers as much flour as quickly sank to the bottom of the glass and sank both large arrays. Dark brown fade out of the water immediately and not in turbid water.

With instant coffee: Popular in VN current instant coffee 3 in 1 is composed of sugar, powdered cream made from palm oil and instant coffee to the mix, we 3 you just feel it. If there is padded soy, corn, look closely, you can see the fat of corn, soybeans mixed in the sweetness of sucrose and fatty aftertaste of palm oil. Coffee can use to create fragrance chemicals suddenly burst as soon as he opened the package, but the scent was quickly lost when the coffee was cold. Coffee with the scent of natural light but durable. When the coffee has cooled down, we still see fragrant. A note that both factors of mild and long lasting flavor to go along with each new natural coffee. If fragrant incense, the stripes but still durable products that may contain poultry flavor. Flavoring substances used for holding food quality is often very expensive. The cheaper it is not safe for health. Based on the above tasting and observing packaging, we can know what is true and what coffee is coffee author.
