我這咖啡還能不能喝了?
閑下來的我喜歡來一杯 French Press 的咖啡,簡單環保味道好。今天好奇,在網上查了一下正宗的French Press咖啡到底應該怎樣做,結果查到了這個網站:
往下一看,不得了,說這種咖啡,有一個缺點是
- Potential health concerns
大意是這樣的,因為這種咖啡的做法沒有用濾紙來過濾咖啡,所以這個咖啡裏麵的揮發油會浸出得比較多,這種揮發油裏麵含有某些物質對健康有負麵影響。可正因為這種揮發油,咖啡的味道才會香濃。
Note: The oily substances in coffee beans, called diterpenes, contain cafestol and kahweol. Since French press filters allow more oils to pass through, higher amounts of cafestol and kaweol get into your coffee compared to other brewing methods that use paper filtration, which is why some people wonder if French press coffee is bad for your health. According to Stefani Sassos, MS, RDN, CDN, Registered Dietitian at the Good Housekeeping Institute, “The good news is that the research suggests that it takes five cups per day to show an increase in serum cholesterol and triglycerides.” Sassos’ advice? “Save French press coffee for special occasions and consume in moderation.”
唉!就這麽點兒嗜好,還讓不讓人活了?
