在精品咖啡的世界裡，香氣是影響風味體驗的關鍵要素之一。而咖啡的香氣可區分為短暫香氣（瞬間釋放的香氣）與持久香氣（較長時間維持的香氣）。這兩者並非對立，而是共同構成一杯咖啡的香氣層次。而焙度則對這兩種香氣的表現有著顯著影響。
In the world of specialty coffee, aroma is one of the key factors influencing the flavor experience. Coffee aromas can be categorized into short aromas (those released instantly) and lasting aromas (those that persist for a longer period). These two types of aromas are not in opposition but rather work together to create the structured fragrance of a cup of coffee. The degree of roasting (roast level) significantly affects the expression of these aromas.
短暫香氣與持久香氣的區別
The Difference Between Short and Lasting Aromas
短暫香氣：瞬間釋放的香氣
短暫香氣通常在剛磨豆、沖煮時或入口瞬間最為明顯，這類香氣主要來自高揮發性的芳香化合物，例如酯類、醛類和某些醇類，這些成分很容易在空氣中消散。典型的短暫香氣風味包括：
花香（如茉莉、橙花）
柑橘類果香（如檸檬、柳橙）
漿果類果香（如藍莓、覆盆子）
酒香或發酵香（如葡萄酒、朗姆酒）
短暫香氣為咖啡帶來驚艷的第一印象，讓人在研磨或沖煮時便能感受到咖啡的活力與層次變化。然而，這些香氣容易隨著時間流逝而減弱，甚至消失。
Short Aromas: Instantly Released Aromas
Short aromas are most noticeable immediately after grinding, during brewing, or at the first sip. These aromas primarily come from highly volatile aromatic compounds such as esters, aldehydes, and certain alcohols, which quickly dissipate into the air. Typical short aromas include:
Floral notes (e.g., jasmine, orange blossom)
Citrus fruit aromas (e.g., lemon, orange)
Berry aromas (e.g., blueberry, raspberry)
Wine-like or fermented notes (e.g., red wine, rum)
Short aromas provide an impressive first sensory impact, allowing coffee drinkers to experience the vibrant and structure changes of the coffee during grinding or brewing. However, these aromas fade quickly over time and may even disappear completely.
持久香氣：殘留在口腔中的香氣
持久香氣則是在咖啡冷卻後或飲用後仍然能感受到的香氣，主要由低揮發性的化合物組成，例如馬來酮類、吡嗪類和呋喃類化合物。這些成分較不易揮發，因此能讓香氣維持更長時間。典型的持久香氣風味包括：
焦糖、蜂蜜
堅果（如榛果、杏仁）
可可、黑巧克力
木質調（如雪松、丁香）
持久香氣增強了餘韻與深度，即使短暫香氣消失，仍能讓咖啡風味在口腔中持續呈現，提升整體的品飲體驗。
Lasting Aromas: Aromas That Linger in the Mouth
Lasting aromas are those that remain detectable even after the coffee has cooled or after drinking, primarily composed of less volatile compounds such as maltol, pyrazines, and furans. These compounds do not evaporate as easily, allowing the aroma to persist longer.
Typical lasting aromas include:
Caramel, honey
Nuts (e.g., hazelnut, almond)
Cocoa, dark chocolate
Woody notes (e.g., cedar, clove)Lasting aromas enhance aftertaste and depth, ensuring that even after the short-lived aromas fade, the coffee’s flavor profile continues to linger in the mouth, enriching the overall tasting experience.
焙度對香氣的影響
The Impact of Roast Degrees on Aroma
同一支豆子在不同焙度（淺焙、中焙、深焙）下，短暫香氣與持久香氣的表現會有明顯差異。
The same coffee beans will exhibit different short and lasting aroma characteristics depending on their roast degree (light roast, medium roast, dark roast).
