Antonio poured 90℃ hot water into a very small demitasse cup to warm it up. Since the flavor of the coffee decreases if the temperature of the cup and the temperature of the coffee being poured are different, he preheated it with water of the same temperature.
At the same time, he put coffee that had been blended (the process of mixing different beans to create flavor) and roasted (the process of roasting beans) with coffee grown on this continent into the funnel and did a hand drip.
He slowly brought it to a boil and carefully poured the coffee drop by drop.
Drip- drip- drip-
The black liquid fell like tears, one drop at a time. Antonio, who had extracted the desired amount, brought the coffee to his mouth with a tense expression.
First of all, the fragrance (the aroma of ground coffee) wasn’t bad. A refreshing fruity, floral scent bloomed faintly.
The problem was the aroma that rose when he drank it and the flavor he felt as it spread in his mouth.
A complex combination of sour, sweet, bitter, and savory flavors was transmitted through the tip of his tongue.
“Hmm…”
It had a subtly weak and unbalanced flavor.
The density felt in the mouth. In other words, the body was solid, but this time too.
“Ugh!… It’s ruined again.”
Even though he had spent several months here personally planting and harvesting coffee beans, Antonio’s heart didn’t feel it at all.
This place was also not a suitable environment for growing coffee.
Coffee trees have demanding conditions to grow properly.
The temperature should be maintained around 20℃ throughout the year, and the amount of sunlight and rainfall should be moderate. The soil should be well-drained and fertile, and it should be produced in a highland area with a large temperature difference between day and night to have a rich aroma and flavor. Even then, it is weak to strong sunlight and heat, and it should not drop below 5 degrees Celsius.
‘Where on earth can I find such a place?’
Wherever that place was, it wasn’t here.
Antonio packed his bags without any hesitation. He didn’t forget to carefully pack the berries harvested from the coffee tree in a glass bottle so that they wouldn’t break. He had to grow new trees when he went to his next destination.
Antonio, who had packed his bags, headed straight to the port.
The ship of the trading company heading to the next city was docked.
Antonio approached the man who seemed to be the leader among the people who were busy unloading and asked him about his destination.
“Where is this ship going?”
“The western continent.”
“The western continent?”
“Yes. We will stop briefly at Totten Village on the western continent and then continue down along the continent.”
“Can I go with you?”
“If you pay enough for the fare, it’s not impossible.”
After finishing the price negotiation, Antonio boarded the trading company’s ship.
Hoping to find land where he could successfully grow coffee in the next village.

Hae-jun has recently become addicted to iced Americano.
At first, it was bland because it was bitter, but as I drank it, I could feel the various flavors hidden in it.
The unique bitterness that can only be felt in coffee, and even the acidity and savory flavor that remains on the tongue at the stage of swallowing.
Hae-jun, who fell in love with the taste of coffee, recently persuaded Min-ju to learn how to extract coffee.
-You know? Grind the coffee beans and fill the portafilter tightly, and tamp it twice with the tempo. When it is flat, press the double shot extraction button.
The method of extracting with a machine was very simple.
Pour ice and water into the espresso extracted in this way to make iced Americano.
When I studied separately, there were various other methods, such as pouring it directly by hand or extracting it one drop at a time using cold water.
‘I’ll pass on the difficult methods for now.’
Hae-jun, who extracted the coffee, put it in a small thermos and put it in his pocket.
To drink after crossing over to the dimensional farm.
“Munchi, let’s go.”
“Meow~.”
Hae-jun and Munchi passed through the passage and headed to the dimensional farm.
On the way, I stopped by the carbonated water spring to check the water purification device, and stopped by the cave to check the condition of the food that was being aged.
As the size of the farm and Sunflower gradually increased, there were more than one or two things to manage.
Depending on the amount of food ingredients used, I had to take care of the management of the items grown on the farm, and I had to grow food that was subject to freshness and storage period in a planned manner.
‘What do I do with the tomato whole I made last time?’
Hae-jun was lost in thought as he looked at the canned food that filled half of the cave.
The cheese made by Chloe by type also continued to pile up, and if I left it like this, the cave might be filled with tomato whole and cheese.
I had to find a recipe to use tomato whole and cheese in a short period of time.
