2019 JB LIFE! Magazine Spring Edition

A learning experience
Taste and flavor of coffee
The National Food Center factory in [Iksan] is a
place you can visit and learn about the local food
industry. As you enter the Center, there are many items
related to the process of coffee production, as well
as information about the origins of coffee. Souvenirs,
bean samples, sacks of green coffee beans will give
you a lot to look at before the coffee lesson starts.
Most importantly, the strong aroma of coffee makes
you realize that you have arrived at coffee heaven.
Looking at the origin of coffee
The more you stay at this center, the more you realize
that making coffee is an art form, and that coffee has
inspired many works of art. There is a display about the
origins of coffee and the first coffee imported to South
Korea. CNC Coffee, standing for Calawes & Coffee, gets
the best quality coffee from Kenya, Brazil, Colombia,
Costa Rica, and other countries. In addition to Korea,
the company distributes coffee to many other parts of
the world. At the CNC Experience, you also find movies
about coffee and people’s love for it, which was the
Experience’s main activity when it started. For example,
the earliest movie about coffee, Out of Africa, which
features romantic scenes and a coffee plantation, and
the Korean movie, Gabi, which is based on the war
between Russia and Japan in the 19th century, are only
two of the many meaningful movies regularly shown.
When you learn to make your own coffee, you learn
many aspects influence its taste and aroma: grinding
size, brewing time, water temperature, roast type, the
beans’ origins, and the type of filter used. There are
rules to follow to get the taste of CNC hand drip coffee.
First, grind 18 grams of coffee in the grinder. Second,
place a coffee paper filter on the dripper and put
in ground coffee evenly. You can shake it to make
smoothen the surface, so when you pour hot water it
will drip evenly. Third, pour 25 ml of 92°C hot water
and leave it for 30-40 seconds. Then, repeat this
process three times for about two minutes and you
will get 200 ml of hand drip coffee. Lastly, serve it hot
and enjoy your hand brewed coffee. When you first sip
your coffee, you will feel the strong aroma and very
soft taste of brewed coffee. This soft taste lasts until
the last sip of coffee, just like many people prefer.
If you are a coffee person who starts every single
morning with a cup of coffee, this place is perfect for
learning about coffee. In addition, they also present
some ground coffee as a souvenir after the lessons.
