How did a cup of American coffee come about?

Compared to other types of coffee, American coffee is obviously lighter, which also gives it a unique charm. So how much do you know about American coffee?

American coffee originated from the war period. At that time, soldiers were not allowed to carry too much coffee and could only carry a can of espresso. So someone came up with the idea of ​​adding hot water to the espresso. Since Americans themselves are more casual about coffee, this dilution method not only dilutes the bitterness, but also dilutes the other flavors of the coffee. Later, this method was accepted by everyone and became more and more popular.

If you want to use an Italian coffee machine to make a cup of exquisite espresso, there are still many requirements. First of all, the water temperature must be between 90 and 97 degrees. For the extraction of coffee liquid, it is best to extract it within 20 to 30 seconds, and the amount of coffee powder is about 20 grams. Coffee beans and roasting methods will affect the taste of coffee.

When choosing a coffee machine, you must choose a high-quality one. After setting the water temperature and water pressure, we just need to grasp the time. In these short tens of seconds, if you stop the extraction process prematurely, the taste of the coffee will become very sour and astringent. If you stop a few seconds later, the taste of the coffee may become very light and may even have a burnt and bitter taste. Therefore, you must be careful in grasping the time, so that you can make a cup of coffee with a very good taste.

Another type of American coffee is made with a drip coffee pot. It has a lighter taste, so its extraction time is about four minutes. The reason why it is popular is that its taste is acceptable to people. In simple terms, the bitterness of coffee is not so strong, but the original aroma of coffee is retained. The amount of American coffee in coffee shops is relatively large, and some shops will give free refills, so this is one of the reasons why it is popular.

There is a big difference between American coffee and Italian coffee. First of all, there is a big difference in the choice of coffee machine styles. Adding hot water at a ratio of 1:5 to Italian coffee makes a qualified American coffee. If you want to use a coffee machine, you need to use an American drip coffee machine, put the coffee powder in it and add the appropriate amount of water, because the taste of a cup of coffee depends on the amount of water added.

For ladies who love beauty, American coffee is a great choice, because American coffee is more conducive to weight loss. Many slimming coffees sold on the market are made using the American coffee production method. The calories of coffee itself are very low, provided that it is pure American black coffee without any sugar or milk. Drinking a cup after a meal can effectively decompose the excess fat in the body. Caffeine is a good helper for decomposing fat. Drinking a few cups a day can have a good effect.

Some scientists believe that coffee can also help people expel stool, and some experiments have been done for this. The experiment showed that four minutes after drinking coffee, the movement of the large intestine will be strengthened, especially in the morning. However, people with poor stomachs must use it with caution. Although coffee roasted at too high a temperature tastes good, it is not conducive to weight loss because it contains less caffeine. Therefore, if you want to lose weight, choosing American coffee with a lighter taste is the best choice.
