Many people who drink coffee like the special aroma of coffee... For example, I only drink Americano after I drink Italian coffee. I personally think Americano has the strongest coffee flavor, and creamer and sugar seem to destroy the coffee flavor of Americano. I drink Americano because it does not contain sugar, milk, and has low calories...

Americano

Americano, in simple terms, is coffee that suits the American taste. When Americans first came into contact with espresso, they found it difficult to adapt to the strong taste of espresso. American consumers are used to drip coffee, which is a coffee that is diluted with a certain degree of water on the basis of espresso in order to obtain a concentration similar to drip coffee.

How is Americano made?

There are two common ways to make American coffee, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not. The first is direct extraction, that is, placing the American coffee cup under the brewing head of the espresso machine until enough coffee liquid flows out of the brewing head. The difference between different stores may be that they choose to use a double espresso or a single espresso to make a cup of American coffee. The second is espresso, diluted with hot water. The difference between different stores may be in the order of adding espresso and hot water and the dilution multiple.

Generally speaking, life in the United States is busier and more stressful. Unlike people in Europe and the Middle East, people cannot enjoy life at a leisurely pace. They often drink a large pot of electric filtered coffee (Drip Coffee Marker), which is 10 grams of coffee per cup with 200 CC of water.

As pure coffee, the concentration (which can be simply understood as bitterness for most consumers) is suitable for the public's taste, and it retains the unique deep roasted aroma and bitter and sweet taste of espresso, which is refreshing and comfortable;

Generally speaking, American coffee is consumed without milk.

I believe that many people first came into contact with American coffee from fast food chains such as McDonald's and KFC. Their coffee is usually served with a small box of milk balls and a bag of sugar. McDonald's coffee (not McCafe) is freshly brewed coffee, which is brewed directly on demand from pre-prepared coffee powder. It is not instant coffee, and generally, you can refill it as many times as you want on the same day. For many years, in people's minds, American coffee must be served with milk and sugar...

Generally speaking, we think that American coffee should not be added with milk. Adding milk will lower the temperature of American coffee and even destroy the flavor. American coffee can be regarded as a very neutral coffee. Its popularity is basically the same between male and female customers. As long as it is made correctly, it is not bitter at all. However, as for milk and sugar, it is a matter of personal preference. If the customer insists on adding sugar and milk, we will also provide them.

Why go to independent coffee shops for Americano , which has a sweet taste even without milk or sugar?

This is related to coffee beans. Coffee beans basically account for at least 80% of the influence of coffee. The beans used by independent coffee shops are slightly more in line with American standards than those used by chain stores. On the other hand, the coffee beans used by McDonald's are basically low-cost mass-produced coffee beans. Therefore, McDonald's American coffee must be added with milk and sugar to be drinkable.

Finally, let me explain that coffee with milk is called latte or café au lait.

at last,

Here are some English names for coffee.

You don’t need to just know the word Coffee anymore.
