外媒果然是靠不住的，在咖啡这种事情上也是一样

每日精品咖啡文化杂志饮品界网今天媒体上有一则来自越南咖啡的新闻《越南咖啡被CNN评价为最好喝的咖啡》，发稿的新闻社引述外媒(美国电视新闻网，我们平常所说的CNN就是它)称越南咖啡最评价为最好喝的咖啡。以下为越通社报导：“越通社河内——近日，值此10·1国际咖啡日之际，美国有线电视新闻网公布了世界上最棒的9个咖啡城市名单。其中，首都河内被评价为河内咖啡可以让当地居民和游客迷醉其中。根据美国有线电视新闻网，越南是世界咖啡生产大国。在河内，咖啡店不胜枚举，因此想品尝一杯咖啡是一个触手可及的事儿。"原本以为越南不知哪家地方媒体开的玩笑，结果百度一下越通社，还真是越南官方媒体，没有开玩笑。尽管如此，本小编还是觉得是不哪个越南小编在YY，怎么会有这样的报导。忍不住到CNN官网翻查了最近的报导，还真有此事。原来是CNN的旅游频道因应国际咖啡节日，做了一个全球咖啡城市的推介，有一点旅游指南的性质。当然了，越南以出产重口味的罗豆为主，越南咖啡就是以此为基底然后加上冰块和浓浓炼奶，也确实属于一方特色。不过，被越通社这样引用报导给越南咖啡加持，给人的感觉就是外媒都是骗人的，这事就有点冤了。在CNN的这个榜单中，除了越南河内以外，还有其他9个城市，更确切的说，有咖啡文化的旅游城市，排名如下：新西兰惠灵顿:澳大利亚墨尔本，越南河内;伦敦;冰岛;意大利罗马;新加坡;西雅图;奥地利;尼日利亚；为避免歧义，大家将就一下看CNN原文吧。(CNN) —In honor of International Coffee Day -- not that you needed a reason -- we would like to raise a cup.Our love for coffee goes beyond the Seattle purveyor who added tall, grande and vente into our daily vernacular.The world's best coffee comes from all over the world. The origins of coffee are global, of course: 15th-century Arabs were the first to cultivate coffee and a Frenchman was behind the 1843 debut of the world's first commercial espresso machine.There have been a few leaps forward since then, and we don't mean the advent of the Frappuccino."People are more and more interested in where the beans come from, and how they're harvested and roasted," says New Zealand coffee producer Nick Clark of Flight Coffee Unlimited. "There are so many variables involved in producing a great cup of coffee these days, and the industry has had to evolve to meet growing consumer expectations."Go get a refill, then read on for where to get the best coffee around the globe.Wellington, New ZealandWhile the ubiquitous flat white -- sort of like a latte with less milk -- was purportedly invented in Sydney, the drink was perfected in Wellington, New Zealand, where it's become the nation's unofficial national beverage."Wellington-ites really know their coffee, and there is a very high standard being served around the city," says Clark. "Wellington is also a small city. There's a lot of interaction between consumers and professionals, which helps our industry to improve and grow."Melbourne, Australia"The coffee culture in Melbourne is just incredible," says former World Barista Champion Pete Licata, from the United States. Coffee is such an integral part of the Melbourne lifestyle that the city even hosts an annual coffee expo.Local order: Piccolo latte.While lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites remain popular, piccolo lattes (made with less milk so the espresso tastes stronger) are the drink du jour.Hanoi, VietnamCoffee is deep in the DNA of Vietnam, and the country is one of the biggest producers of the beans in the world.When Vietnam was a colony of France, the French established coffee plantations across the country in the late 19th century, and, if you're in the capital, Hanoi, you don't have to go far for a fantastic cup.Don't expect a flat white or an Americano here, though.Coffee is brewed in a traditional filter, dripping into a single cup below (this may predate the pour-over so popular at hipster cafes in the US), producing a thick, intense brew that is sipped black, or enjoyed with the traditional sweetened condensed milk. It's something the Vietnamese became accustomed to when fresh milk was in short supply.Popular on Instagram and with locals is ca phe trung, the egg coffee -- in which a creamy, meringue-like egg white foam is placed on top of a black coffee. Cafe Giang makes one of the city's best known.LondonAussies and Kiwis famously opened the city's first espresso-focused coffee shops about 15 years ago -- bringing along their beloved flat whites -- and more modern cafes have been popping up across the city ever since. Tea may still be king in England, but Londoners have some bloody good coffee on offer now too.IcelandAfter the Dutch, Scandinavians have the highest coffee consumption per capita in the world. While Finns drink the most among Scandinavians, Icelanders are also coffee-crazy. One generation ago, coffee and cake was a standard afternoon break, but people focused more on the quality of the cake than the coffee. That's changed dramatically; now you can hardly walk a city block without passing a coffee shop.And with Iceland's lack of commercial coffee behemoths, smaller businesses have had a chance to flourish.Rome, ItalyCoffee is so much a part of Italian culture that you'll rarely encounter a local who doesn't drink it. But believe it or not, it's not always that easy to find a decent espresso in Italy, with critics whispering that Italians have been resistant to adopt modern barista techniques.With the best of the nation's baristas calling it home, Rome is your best bet for a quality cup.SingaporeCoffee has always been an integral part of life in Singapore -- the old tradition of kopitiam, or coffee shop culture, goes back centuries. But the city's only recently embraced modern espresso technology -- nowadays, latté art is an expected part of cafe service.SeattleIf there's one American city that's consistently ahead of the game, it's Seattle. The green mermaid is only a small part of the hometown coffee scene."Coffee is our liquid sunshine in Seattle," says coffee consultant Joshua Boyt, a former SCA World Barista competition judge. "Passion for the product, coupled with the sheer number of coffee shops across the city, has created a culture of constant improvement through competition and camaraderie."AustriaThey're such an important part of Viennese culture that the city's coffee houses were listed by UNESCO in 2011 as an Intangible Heritage.But modern coffee connoisseurs such as Vienna coffee blogger Lameen Abdul-Malik of From Coffee With Love admit that the standard of coffee in these beloved institutions, which act as public living rooms where people come to chat, read newspapers and eat strudel, are lagging in terms of coffee technology and service expectations.That's changing since Vienna hosted the World Barista Championships in 2012, and new-style independent coffee shops have opened, says Abdul-Malik.NigeriaCoffee was likely born in Africa -- historians peg it to pre-15th-century Ethiopia -- but Nigeria is one country's that been slower to get into coffee culture. That's changing in recent years, and statistics predict that Nigerians will drink 23% more coffee in 2020 than this year. And a coffee culture is, well, percolating, there, so get ahead of the trend by visiting -- and tasting a local cup.Two brothers and US business school grads, Ngozi and Chijioke Dozie, started Cafe Neo in Lagos in 2012 to inspire more entrepreneurship in the country -- and to serve good coffee. And they're no longer alone in the superior-coffee camp.
