Regarding American coffee, let me tell you something you don’t know and a story

I guess most people have tried American coffee!

I believe that what the author shares with you today can help you better experience a cup of American coffee!

First, let me share with you an interesting fact about American coffee.

American coffee appeared after World War II. After the Americans ended the war in Europe, most of the troops went to Southern Europe. However, after arriving in Southern Europe, the American soldiers found that they could not accept Espresso, so they used warm water to make coffee. In this way, American coffee was born!

Another theory is that American coffee was created during the war because of the shortage of coffee and people wanted to drink coffee every day.

Now let’s get to the point: how to have a better cup of American coffee!

Usually we know that a cup of American coffee is made by adding espresso to a certain proportion of water. It sounds simple, but it is precisely this simplicity that hides the secret!

We will find that every time we go to a coffee shop, the American coffee we drink tastes different. This is because every barista has a different technique. So how can we ensure that you can get a cup of American coffee you want every time!

1. The ratio of coffee to water is 1:7, or 1:8, which can be determined according to personal taste (that is, 60 ml of espresso and 480 ml of water)

2. To make American coffee, first extract the coffee and then add water. The coffee oil produced in this way will be thinner. Part of the oil will dissolve in the water, part will be dispersed in the air, and part will be decomposed. Although the taste is okay, it is not recommended!

3. This is a method recommended by the author, adding water into the cup first, and then pouring espresso into the water. What are the benefits of doing this?

The oil will be retained to the greatest extent and float on the water surface, presenting a transparent and bright white color. The coffee will slowly settle and blend in the water. The coffee made in this way will taste more layered!

This sharing ends here. I will bring you more sharing about coffee in the future. I hope you like it. I also wish you all to drink a cup of good coffee every day and have a good mood every day!
