1. Basic ingredients for American coffee

The basic composition of American coffee is very simple, mainly including coffee beans, water and fire, but in order to make a good cup of American coffee, these three elements are indispensable, and there are many details that need to be paid attention to.

2. Choice of coffee beans

The choice of coffee beans has a crucial impact on the taste of coffee. Coffee beans from different origins and different roasting degrees will give coffee different flavors. Darkly roasted coffee beans have a stronger taste and are suitable for people who like strong flavors; while lightly roasted coffee beans have more sourness and a fresher taste.

3. Water Quality

In addition to coffee beans, water is also the key to determining the taste of coffee. High-quality water can better highlight the flavor of coffee beans and make the coffee taste smoother. The water temperature should also be moderate. Too high or too low will affect the taste of the coffee.

4. Grind coffee beans

When grinding coffee beans, adjust the coarseness of the grind according to your taste and the coffee machine you use. Coarsely ground coffee tastes richer, while finely ground coffee is easier to extract the delicate flavor of the coffee beans.

5. Production Process

The basic steps to making American coffee include grinding coffee beans, filling coffee powder, pressing powder (for some coffee machines), adding water, heating extraction, etc. Each step needs to be carefully operated to ensure the pure taste of the coffee.

6. Differences in production methods

Although the basic recipes are similar, different production methods do bring different taste experiences. American coffee made with a drip coffee machine has a clearer taste and a higher caffeine content; while that made with an Italian coffee machine is richer and has a beautiful layer of coffee oil on the surface. Hand-brewed coffee is also a highly praised production method in recent years. The key is to control the speed and temperature of the water flow to achieve the best extraction effect.

7. Add ingredients

American coffee can also be added with some ingredients according to personal taste, such as milk, syrup, vanilla, etc. The addition of milk can make the coffee taste smoother and increase the flavor changes; syrup can adjust the sweetness and make the coffee more palatable, but it should be noted that too many additives may cover up the flavor of the coffee itself.
