Why do so many people like American coffee? Do you know about American coffee?

How much do you know about American coffee? In fact, American coffee is the most accessible Espresso!!!

So, how did American style come about?

The name of American coffee comes from the habit of American soldiers in Europe during the war to add hot water to small espresso coffee, which is common in Europe. Because Americans are generally casual and simple in preparing coffee, this method quickly became popular with the popularity of American chain stores around the world. Later, American coffee could even be the general name for all black coffee. Black coffee made with drip filters, French presses, etc. can all be called American coffee. In this article, we will only discuss American coffee made with espresso as the base.

How to make a good cup of American coffee?

A good cup of espresso, after being diluted with water, has its concentrated sour, sweet and bitter flavors diluted. It not only has the bitterness of coffee, but also a little bit of sourness, a little bit of sweetness, the aroma of coffee, and a lasting aftertaste.

How to make a cup of qualified espresso?

The production process is as follows:

The water temperature is about 90-97℃,

At a pressure of 9 to 10 bar,

The coffee liquid extracted in 20-30 seconds,

18-21 grams of ground coffee

Extract about 40~60ml of coffee liquid.

(Depending on the type of coffee beans, roasting method, and coffee flavor, the specific coffee weight, extraction time, and extracted coffee liquid will vary.)

With a good coffee machine, the water temperature and water pressure are all optimal, but we need to control the time. During the extraction time of tens of seconds, if the extraction is stopped too early, the espresso will become very sour and astringent and undrinkable. A few seconds later, the espresso will feel watery, and even have a bad taste of burnt bitterness and smokiness. Only the right amount of time can make a cup of espresso rich but not too complex, or round, bright, or calm. Coffee beans of different varieties and roasting degrees will bring different tastes.

"Americano" (English: Americano, Italian: Caffè Americano) is a type of coffee and the most common coffee. It is made from black coffee using a drip coffee pot, or from espresso with a lot of water. The taste is relatively light. Because the general extraction time is relatively long (about four or five minutes), the caffeine content is high.

The reason why American coffee is so popular is not only because of its approachable taste. As pure coffee, its concentration (which can be simply understood as bitterness for most consumers) suits the public taste, and it retains the unique deep roasted aroma and bitter-sweet taste of espresso, which is refreshing and comfortable. Another important reason is its extremely high cost-effectiveness. Usually, the quantity of American coffee is larger, and the price is usually only slightly higher than that of espresso, or about the same price as cappuccino. If you meet a good-tempered shop owner, you can even get a free refill. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why American coffee, as pure coffee, is one of the most popular coffee styles in coffee shops.

American coffee is black coffee made with a drip coffee maker, or it is made by adding a lot of water to Italian espresso. When making it, the most important thing is speed, convenience, and quickness. It is easy to brew and has a light, sweet and refreshing taste.

The method of making American coffee is relatively simple. Here are a few methods:

One of the American hot coffee:

1. Use a kitchen scale to measure 20 grams of coffee beans, which is enough to make 5 cups of coffee.

2. Put the coffee beans into the Del dry grinder, press the power button on the lid, and the machine will start. The coffee can be ground into coffee powder within half a minute.

The difference between Americano and Italian coffee

As the name implies, an Italian coffee machine makes Italian coffee, while an American coffee machine makes American coffee, two different styles of coffee. There are some differences in the taste and method of making the two:

1. Different proportions

Italian coffee is short for Italian coffee, and its representative product is espresso. It is the favorite coffee of Italians. Only 30cc of it is added with hot water in a ratio of 1:5 to make American coffee, which is light coffee.

2. Different cooking methods

American coffee machines produce American coffee, while Italian coffee machines produce Italian coffee. An Italian coffee machine uses water with appropriate pressure and temperature to quickly (usually 25-30 seconds) pass through coffee powder to extract coffee liquid (about 30cc). The coffee brewed by the machine is called Italian coffee. The basic coffee brewed by the machine is generally called ESPRESSO, which means Italian espresso in Chinese. Products such as latte, cappuccino, caramel macchiato, etc. are all products produced by combining different items. For American coffee, use an American drip coffee machine. Put the coffee powder in the filter cup, plug in the power and turn on the switch, and it will drip automatically. The time to watch it depends on the number of cups and the amount of water. The adjustment of the strength will vary depending on the amount of water and the amount of coffee powder you put in.
