Why is Mexican coffee so bitter?

Ristoranti e Caffè 2sett fa 6 answers •

I've been visiting Mexico City every winter for years and I've always found the coffee to be rather bitter and burnt, even at specialty coffee shops. I've tried it at various places in the city, from Vips to small cafes, but it's always had a similar taste. I'm starting to think that's just how Mexicans like their coffee, but I've also had some amazing coffee in Australia, so I'm curious to know if it's just me or if there's something I'm missing.

For many people, coffee is just a commodity, often brewed to a bitter and burnt taste. However, there's a growing specialty coffee movement in Mexico that offers a more nuanced and complex flavor experience. To find these specialty coffee shops, you'll need to look beyond the usual chain cafes like Vips. Additionally, it's worth noting that many Mexicans struggle to afford the higher prices associated with specialty coffee.

Coffee beans from certain regions in Mexico, such as Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas, are renowned for their exceptional quality and rich flavor profiles. These beans are often characterized by their high acidity and complex flavor notes. In fact, many coffee connoisseurs prefer the bold and nuanced flavors of Mexican coffee beans over those from other regions, such as Indonesia.

The coffee culture in Mexico City differs significantly from that in Australia. When it comes to coffee, many Mexicans focus on the quality of the beans themselves, as Mexico is a major coffee producer and exports high-quality beans worldwide. In contrast, Australian coffee culture emphasizes the art of brewing, with a focus on the process and technique used to bring out the best flavors in the coffee. Unfortunately, this emphasis on the brewing process can make specialty coffee a luxury item in Mexico, out of reach for many consumers.

After moving to Australia from Mexico, I was struck by the rich and bold flavors of the coffee. In my new neighborhood, I discovered a coffee shop that served a long black with a thick consistency, strong aroma, and a taste that exceeded my expectations. As a coffee lover, I was impressed by the quality of the coffee in Australia, which was a far cry from the decent but not exceptional coffee I was used to in Chiapas, Mexico.
