Brilio.net - For many people, drinking coffee has become part of their lifestyle. Caffeine in coffee is often needed to support daily activities. According to chicdarling.com, caffeine can ward off drowsiness and help the brain work more optimally.
In addition, the moment of drinking coffee can also be an opportunity to chat with family, friends, or colleagues. It is no wonder that coffee shops are still in great demand today. Many also choose to mix and brew their own coffee at home because of their love for this drink.
For beginners interested in the world of coffee, it is important to know the difference between real and fake coffee. Often, coffee grounds sold on the market have been mixed with other ingredients, so they are no longer pure.
Often, coffee can be mixed with ingredients such as corn , chocolate, essence, betel nut, or others. One netizen on the YouTube account LAJUKELA COFFEE CORNER has a secret to distinguish real and fake coffee without having to taste it. Curious about the trick?
In the experiment he shared via an upload on YouTube LAJUKELA COFFEE CORNER, there were already two glasses filled with real and fake coffee powder. The trick to distinguish them is to simply pour hot water slowly with a circular motion.

The owner of the YouTube account LAJUKELA COFFEE CORNER explained that original or pure coffee without any mixture of ingredients usually produces crema on top. This crema is known as a yellowish brown foam.
"Real coffee has crema," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube LAJUKELA COFFEE CORNER on Friday (25/10).
Reported from liminicoffee.co.uk, crema comes from Italian which means cream. Not only is it useful as a marker that the coffee is pure, but the appearance of crema also concludes that the coffee powder is of good quality.

While fake or mixed coffee does not produce crema, this does not mean that these coffee grounds should be avoided.
"The one on the left (fake) is not bad, but it's a mixture, so the real one is indeed tastier," said the owner of the YouTube account LAJUKELA COFFEE CORNER.
Indeed, there are some people, especially coffee lovers, who only want to consume original or pure coffee because it is considered to taste better, is not sour, and does not cause reactions in the digestive tract.
So, from now on, do you know the trick to distinguish between real and fake coffee?
