Enjoy roasted coffee in Hai Duong city

Meticulous processing

In Hai Duong City, many coffee lovers often go to some shops on Nguyen Quy Tan and Chuong Duong streets - places that roast and grind coffee directly for customers to enjoy.

These shops often have grinders and coffee roasters available at the counter so that customers can witness the brewing process firsthand. This will help customers feel more secure about the quality of the coffee they are drinking.

While operating the coffee roasting system, Mr. Pham Van Hai in Hai Duong City shared about the process of pre-processing, roasting, filtering gravel, and grinding coffee. According to Mr. Hai, it is necessary to adjust the time to the exact second and adjust the temperature precisely to each mark. If the temperature is too "old" or too "young", the coffee beans will not have the desired flavor. Even if the formula and quantity are not mastered, the coffee will be burnt and have a bitter taste that is difficult to drink.

Machine-roasted coffee is very meticulous, from buying clean green coffee beans from abroad or from the Central Highlands provinces to selecting plump beans, storing them in cool temperatures, and drying them before bringing them back to Hai Duong. The preparation step for roasting coffee is also very important. The roasting machine is imported from Ho Chi Minh City, worth hundreds of millions of VND, and can adjust different roasting levels to suit different brewing methods. Coffee is put into the roasting cage for 15-20 minutes. Depending on each type of coffee and the processing method, the roasting time is also different. The flavor of coffee can change according to the roasting level corresponding to different temperatures, such as changes in acidity, aroma, body, sweetness, and bitterness. When satisfied with the roasting level, the roaster will pour the coffee and stir continuously to cool it to avoid salting, which leads to the loss of the original flavor.

When roasting coffee, a lot of CO2 gas is released, breaking down the structure of the coffee beans, so it needs to be cooled before packaging. According to many people with experience with coffee, it is necessary to let the coffee cool before packaging. The best way is to package it in packages with one-way valves so that the air inside can escape and the outside air cannot enter.

Nconnoisseurs prefer

Mr. Vu Duc Binh in Dong Lac commune (Nam Sach) often enjoys coffee every morning. Since learning about roasted coffee in Hai Duong city, Mr. Binh often comes to enjoy traditional black coffee. “Making and enjoying roasted coffee is the only way to fully appreciate the beauty and flavor of coffee. Sitting directly in the shop, inhaling the smell of roasted coffee, while enjoying a cup of strong, high-quality coffee like this makes me really happy,” Mr. Binh shared.

In reality, we found that there are many types of coffee that are roasted directly in the traditional style, roasted in the imported style from Ethiopia, Kenya, Costa Rica, Colombia... with higher prices than other traditional cups of coffee on the market.

Previously, Mr. Doan Van Long in Binh Han Ward (Hai Duong City) often asked acquaintances to buy coffee from the Central Highlands and send it to Hai Duong to enjoy the pure taste. Mr. Long said: “When I learned that Hai Duong had coffee that was roasted and ground directly, I went there with my friends every day to enjoy it. Pure coffee has a delicate, rich aroma and taste in an elegant way, especially Ethiopian coffee.”

According to many coffee connoisseurs, not only do you have to pay attention to the stages of importing coffee ingredients, processing, preserving, and brewing, but the way you enjoy it is also very important and elaborate. Even when choosing ice to put in a cup of coffee, you need "older" ice to avoid the ice melting quickly, which will affect the taste of the coffee. While enjoying it, you also need to be comfortable and relaxed, completely devoting yourself to the experience of the pure coffee flavor.

The preference for roasted and ground coffee in Hai Duong City shows a change in people’s consumption habits. Roasted and ground coffee is chosen not only for its pure flavor but also for the value and meaning it brings.
