Ulwazi Lwekhofi: Ungakhetha Kanjani Ubhontshisi Wekhofi Womshini Wakho Wokuthengisa Ikhofi

Ngemva kokuthenga amakhasimende aumshini wekhofi, umbuzo ovame ukubuzwa ukuthi ubhontshisi wekhofi usetshenziswa kanjani emshinini. Ukuze sazi impendulo yalo mbuzo, kufanele siqale siqonde izinhlobo zikabhontshisi wekhofi.

Kunezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-100 zekhofi emhlabeni, futhi ezimbili ezidume kakhulu i-Arabica ne-Robusta/Canephora. Lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zekhofi zihluke kakhulu ekunambithekeni, ekubunjweni nasekukhuleni kwezimo.

I-Arabica: I-caffeine ebizayo, ebushelelezi, ephansi.

Isilinganiso sikabhontshisi we-Arabica sibiza ngokuphindwe kabili kunobhontshisi we-Robusta. Mayelana nezithako, i-Arabica ine-caffeine ephansi (0.9-1.2%), amafutha angu-60% ngaphezu kwe-Robusta, kanye noshukela ophindwe kabili, ngakho ukunambitheka okuphelele kwe-Arabica kumnandi, kuthambile, futhi kumuncu njengesithelo seplamu.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-chlorogenic acid ye-Arabica iphansi (5.5-8%), futhi i-chlorogenic acid ingaba i-antioxidant, kodwa futhi iyisici esibalulekile sokumelana nezinambuzane, ngakho-ke i-Arabica isengozini kakhulu ezinambuzane, kodwa futhi ihlaselwa yisimo sezulu, ngokuvamile itshalwa. ezindaweni eziphakeme, izithelo ziyancipha futhi kancane. Isithelo simise okweqanda. (I-Organic coffee beans)

Njengamanje, insimu enkulu ye-Arabica yiBrazil, kanti iColombia ikhiqiza ikhofi ye-Arabica kuphela.

I-Robusta: eshibhile, ukunambitheka okubabayo, i-caffeine ephezulu

Ngokuphambene, i-Robusta ene-caffeine ephezulu (1.6-2.4%), amafutha aphansi kanye noshukela inokunambitheka okubabayo nokunamandla, futhi abanye baze bathi inokunambitheka kwerabha.

I-Robusta inokuqukethwe okuphezulu kwe-chlorogenic acid (7-10%), ayithinteki ezinambuzaneni nesimo sezulu, ngokuvamile itshalwa endaweni ephansi, futhi ithela izithelo eziningi futhi ngokushesha. Isithelo siyindilinga.

Njengamanje amasimu amakhulu e-Robusta aseVietnam, kanti ukukhiqizwa kwenzeka nase-Afrika naseNdiya.

Ngenxa yentengo eshibhile, i-Robusta ivame ukusetshenziselwa ukwenza impushana yekhofi ukunciphisa izindleko. Iningi lekhofi elisheshayo elishibhile emakethe i-Robusta, kodwa intengo ayilingani nekhwalithi. Ubhontshisi wekhofi we-Robusta wekhwalithi enhle uvame ukusetshenziswa Kuhle ekwenzeni i-espressos, ngoba ukhilimu wakhe ucebile. I-Robusta yekhwalithi enhle inambitheka kangcono ngisho kunobhontshisi we-Arabica wekhwalithi engeyinhle.
Ngakho-ke, ukukhetha phakathi kwamabhontshisi amabili ekhofi ikakhulukazi kuncike ekuthandweni komuntu siqu. Abanye abantu bangase bacabange ukuthi iphunga le-Arabica linamandla kakhulu, kanti abanye bathanda ukubaba okuncane kwe-Robusta. Okuwukuphela kwesexwayiso esinaso ukunaka ngokukhethekile okuqukethwe kwe-caffeine uma uzwela i-caffeine, i-Robusta ine-caffeine ephindwe kabili kune-Arabica.

Yiqiniso, lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zekhofi akuzona zodwa. Ungaphinda uzame i-Java , i-Geisha, nezinye izinhlobo ukuze ungeze ama-flavour amasha kumuzwa wakho wekhofi.

Kuzophinde kube namakhasimende avame ukubuza ukuthi kungcono yini ukukhetha ubhontshisi wekhofi noma impuphu yekhofi. Ukususa isici somuntu siqu semishini nesikhathi eceleni, yebo ubhontshisi wekhofi. Iphunga lekhofi livela emafutheni agazingiwe, avalwe ezimbotsheni zikabhontshisi wekhofi. Ngemva kokugaya, iphunga namafutha aqala ukuguquka, futhi ukunambitheka kwekhofi elivuthiwe ngokwemvelo kuyancipha kakhulu. Ngakho-ke lapho ubhekene nokukhetha ukuthi uya yiniumshini wekhofi osheshayo noma aumshini wekhofi osanda kufakwa, Uma kuphela ukunambitheka kucatshangelwa, ngokuqinisekile kufanele ukhethe umshini wekhofi osanda kufakwa.
