Espresso (How to Taste a Good Americano)

Espresso (How to Taste a Good Americano)

Espresso is a type of coffee with a strong taste. It is brewed by pouring 92 degrees Celsius hot water through finely ground coffee powder at a high pressure of 9 bar. Espresso is often used as the basis of coffee drinks mixed with other ingredients (such as milk or cocoa powder), such as latte, cappuccino, macchiato and mocha, without over-diluting the coffee ingredients.

Most people find it difficult to enjoy espresso like Italians do, so many people prefer to drink the aromatic American coffee. Here is how to enjoy American coffee.

Americano

The first sip of coffee is the key. Don't rush to add seasoning or stir. Take a big sip of Americano first. Don't rush to swallow it. Hold it in your mouth temporarily to let the bitterness and sweetness of the coffee fill your entire mouth. Swallow hard to lock the aroma of the coffee in your throat. After five seconds, you will feel the aroma and sweetness of the coffee. Add fresh milk and stir. When you drink it, you will feel that the bitterness of the coffee has become lighter, and the aroma of the coffee has become more intense and prominent. Add raw sugar and stir. At this time, the coffee is a cup of Americano with milk and sugar. The bitterness becomes lighter when you taste it, and the aroma of coffee is mixed with the aroma of milk.
