Discussion on American Coffee

Some friends have questions about the intention of American coffee. Dilute a cup of Espresso with water. Is it American coffee?

Answer: it is indeed so. Let's learn about the history of American coffee.

American coffee was born after World War II, when the Americans came to southern Europe at the end of the war in Europe. They couldn't drink Espresso, so they diluted it with lukewarm water. Because only this concentration can be accepted, it can be seen that Espresso is not born to be loved by everyone! Because this way of drinking is mainly American soldiers, people call them American coffee.

Because at that time, most Americans used the filter method to make coffee with a lighter flavor. To this day, most Americans use drip coffee pots in their families, which is why they are also called American coffee pots. But the popularity of American coffee made by diluting a cup of Espresso with water is due to the global opening of Starbucks stores.

So whether you can use the Italian machine for a long time to make a cup of light coffee is the right way? There are two opinions. Feverish Espresso stalwarts do not think so, because the coffee is overextracted, especially in the later stage of extraction, flushing out the miscellaneous flavor and too much caffeine of the coffee powder, and these people disdain this method.

But in today's coffee market, many coffee shops do this, and it is quite common. They think that if the coffee is over-extracted, wouldn't the extraction time of the autoclave and siphon kettle be longer than that? So what's wrong with doing this! The town of Winnie does not want to compare the right and wrong of the two methods, but just introduces to you that there are two attitudes and practices.

In fact, either way, the final coffee is what you need, and that is a suitable way to make it.
