在手沖咖啡的世界裡,「乾淨」與「有份量」這兩個形容詞,常被誤認為是對立的。很多人以為咖啡要乾淨,就會變得輕薄、像水一樣沒存在感;而要有份量,就容易變得苦重、礙口。其實不然,一杯同時乾淨又有份量的咖啡,不但能入口香氣鮮明,還能在喉韻留下悠長、愉悅的風味延續,對怕苦又怕稀水感的愛好者來說,正是理想的選擇。
In the world of pour-over coffee, the terms “clean” and “substantial” are often mistakenly seen as opposites. Many assume that for coffee to be clean, it must be light and watery, lacking presence; while for it to be substantial, it must be heavy, bitter, and overwhelming. In reality, a coffee that is both clean and substantial offers bright, well-defined aromas on entry, and leaves a long, pleasant aftertaste. For those who dislike both bitterness and watery thinness, this is the ideal cup.


什麼是「乾淨」的咖啡?

在咖啡專業評測中,乾淨度(Clean Cup)指的是咖啡風味不受雜味干擾,味道層次清晰且穩定。這不僅僅是沒有缺陷味那麼簡單,更意味著從第一口到最後一口,風味表現都純淨而一致。乾淨的咖啡,是從最初香氣到收尾都沒有負面風味或缺陷的咖啡

常見會破壞乾淨度的烘焙瑕疵有四種:

● Underdevelopment(發展不足):生澀、青草味、風味空洞。
● Overdevelopment(過度發展):酸感鈍化,整體暗沉無活力。
● Baked(焙烤):味道平淡,像紙板,缺乏層次。
● Scorched(燒焦):局部燒焦,苦澀明顯。

避免這些問題,就能保證咖啡的基礎乾淨度,而這個基礎往往從生豆階段就已經決定了。

What is “Clean” Coffee?

In professional coffee evaluation, Clean Cup refers to a flavor free from defects or distracting notes, with clarity and consistency throughout. It’s more than simply being free of flaws, it means from the first sip to the last, the flavor remains pure and stable. The Clean Cup is the coffee from the first aroma to aftertaste without negative notes.

Common four roasting defects that undermine cleanliness include:

● Underdevelopment: grassy, raw, hollow flavor.
● Overdevelopment: muted acidity, dull, lifeless taste.
● Baked: flat, cardboard-like, lacking complexity.
● Scorched: burnt spots, harsh bitterness.

Avoiding these issues ensures the foundation of a clean cup, though cleanliness often begins as early as the green bean stage.


生豆處理與發酵的關鍵

乾淨又有份量的咖啡,很大一部分取決於生豆處理與發酵管理。
● 適當的發酵:能夠釋放果香、花香、熱帶水果酸甜等複雜度,讓咖啡有層次、有亮點。
● 過度的發酵:則容易帶出發酵味、酒精酸敗或酵母過重感,烘焙時更容易在高溫中放大這些雜味,破壞乾淨度。

對於精品咖啡來說,處理站會嚴格控制發酵時間與溫度,並選擇適合該品種與海拔的處理法,例如:
● 水洗處理(Washed):乾淨度高,酸質清晰。
● 蜜處理(Honey):甜感加分,但控制得宜才能保持清爽。
● 日曬(Natural):若發酵得宜,可增加香氣層次與酒香調;若過度,則可能帶出泥濁感或發酵雜味。

換句話說,適度發酵是複雜度與乾淨度的平衡,而非越多越好。

The Role of Processing and Fermentation

A clean yet substantial coffee depends greatly on how the beans are processed and how fermentation is managed.
 Proper fermentation: Releases fruit, floral, and tropical sweetness, adding complexity and vibrancy.
 Over-fermentation: On the other hand, can introduce off-notes such as sour alcohol, yeastiness, or unpleasant funk—flaws that roasting can easily magnify.

Specialty coffee processing stations control fermentation time and temperature carefully, choosing the right method for the variety and altitude:

Washed: high clarity, crisp acidity.
 Honey: added sweetness, balanced freshness when well-managed.
 Natural: when done well, produces complexed aromas and wine-like notes; when overdone, leads to muddiness and fermentation taints.

In short, good fermentation strikes a balance between complexity and cleanliness—not simply “more is better.”


什麼是「有份量」的咖啡?

「有份量」不是單純的厚重或苦,而是香氣、味道與口感的綜合存在感。香氣與味道濃度足,一入口就能清楚辨認風味,不需用力去找。口感飽滿順滑,入口不空虛,也不會稀薄像喝開水。風味明確且穩定,從熱到涼,味道線條依然清晰。

沖煮上,想做出有份量的咖啡,可從以下幾個方向著手。選擇高品質、高密度生豆(高海拔成熟豆通常更集中風味)。粉水比略高(1:15),萃取濃度適中。研磨略細並控制注水,讓溶出物質更多,同時保持均勻萃取。避免過高水溫與深焙豆,以免增加苦澀感。

What Does “Substantial” Mean in Coffee?

Substantial coffee isn’t just about heaviness or bitterness, it’s about a harmonious presence of aroma, flavor, and body. A substantial cup delivers flavors you can identify immediately, without straining. The mouthfeel is full and smooth, never thin or watery. From hot to cool, the flavor remains defined and consistent.

To brew a substantial cup, you can start with high-quality, dense beans (fully reaped high altitude coffee beans have more concentrated flavors). Using a slightly higher coffee-to-water ratio (e.g., 1:15), grinding a little finer, and control pouring to ensure even extraction.

Avoid overly high water temperatures and overly dark roasts, which may bring excess bitterness.


為什麼乾淨與有份量能並存?

在杯測標準中,Flavor(風味)與Aftertaste(餘韻)兩項分數,往往與乾淨度高度相關。
● 沒有雜味干擾,風味輪廓更容易被察覺、清楚呈現。
● 風味輪廓鮮明,餘韻延伸時不會崩掉或轉成負面味。
● 質感與香氣延續性佳,從入口到收口,都是正面愉悅的感受。

而適度發酵帶來的複雜度,若搭配無瑕疵的烘焙與沖煮,就能讓咖啡在保持乾淨度的同時,還擁有豐富層次與飽滿感。​​​​​​​

Why Clean and Substantial Can Coexist

In cupping standards, Flavor and Aftertaste are closely tied to cleanliness:
​​​​​​​●  Without off-notes, flavor profiles are clearer and more distinct.
 Defined flavors extend smoothly into the aftertaste, without collapsing or turning unpleasant.
 A good texture and aroma continuity make the experience consistently enjoyable.

When carefully managed fermentation is combined with flawless roasting and brewing, coffee can be clean, yet with great complexity and satisfying.

給怕苦又怕水感的手沖愛好者

對於怕苦的人來說,苦澀通常來自過度烘焙或萃取,所以可以選擇淺焙或淺中焙、酸甜平衡的精品咖啡豆,例如衣索比亞花香型巴拿馬藝妓哥斯大黎加蜜處理等。

對於怕水感的人,則要確保咖啡的溶解物足夠,可透過略高的粉水比(例如20克粉對28克熱水)。控制研磨與注水節奏,延長水與咖啡粉的接觸時間。注水過程保持穩定、均勻,避免造成局部過度或不足萃取。這樣沖出來的咖啡,既不苦,又有滑順飽滿的口感,而且風味乾淨、層次分明。

乾淨卻有份量的咖啡,是從生豆處理、發酵控制、烘焙與沖煮全程配合的成果;它沒有雜味,卻擁有鮮明風味與悠長餘韻,讓每一口品飲中都感受到純淨而豐富的咖啡體驗。​​​​​​​

For Pour-Over Lovers Who Dislike Bitter and Watery Coffee

For those sensitive to bitterness: bitterness often comes from over-roasting or over-extraction. Choose light to medium-light roasted specialty beans with balanced acidity and sweetness, such as Ethiopian floral profiles, Panama Geisha, or Costa Rica Honey-processed beans.

For those sensitive to thinness: ensure enough dissolved solids in the cup by slightly increasing the coffee-to-water ratio (e.g., 20g coffee to 280g water). Control grind size and pour rate to maintain sufficient contact time. A stable, even pour prevents uneven extraction. The result is coffee that is smooth, full-bodied, and free of bitterness—clean, structured, and rich in flavors.

​​​​​​​A clean yet substantial coffee is the product of careful coordination across processing, fermentation, roasting, and brewing. It is free of off-notes, yet vibrant and lingering—delivering a pure, complex coffee experience in every sip.
