When it comes to Starbucks' most popular coffee drinks, there are no more popular coffee drinks than American coffee, latte, Fragrance white coffee, cold extract coffee and star Frappuccino series. In the face of a dazzling variety of coffee menus, how can you choose the right coffee drink? In this article, Qianjie Coffee will talk to you about the way Starbucks popular coffee drinks are made. You can also easily replicate the same drinks at home.

Latte (Coffee Latte)

Latte is translated as milk in Italian, and Coffee means coffee. As a star product of Starbucks, latte has been loved by star fans since it was introduced in 1982. Starbucks lattes use 1-2 servings of espresso, then add suitable cup-shaped milk-hot lattes need to use a steam stick to heat the milk and whisk out slippery foam and blend well with espresso.

If your partner wants to repeat the carving at home, but there is no coffee machine, you can also use freeze-dried / instant espresso liquid, and then add hot milk / iced milk, but if you want to be like Starbucks' hot latte, it may not be possible to do it at home ~ because if you want to get rid of slippery foam, the household foamer may not be able to achieve the same effect.

American coffee (Americano)

The emergence of American coffee is that when American soldiers drank coffee locally in Italy during World War II, they were not used to the local pressurized extraction of espresso, so most American soldiers would add clear water to their espresso to dilute it. as a result, a category of coffee suitable for Americans has been gradually formed, so it is also called American coffee.

There is no standard for the practice of American coffee, which is diluted according to the taste of guests. But in order to ensure that every cup of coffee is of similar quality, Starbucks uses 2-3 servings of espresso and water suitable for the cup shape. If you want to repeat the carving at home, you can also use freeze-dried / ready-to-use espresso liquid, and then add a small amount of water / sparkling water and other favorite drinks to dilute them according to your own taste.

Fragrant White Coffee (Flat White)

Fragrant White Coffee is also known as Australian White Coffee, Xiaobai Coffee, Australian White Coffee and mellow White Coffee. Qianjie Coffee believes that the difference between it and latte coffee is that it uses a higher concentration of espresso, and the milk foam used will be thinner than latte coffee. The authentic Fragrance White Coffee has only a hot version, but Starbucks made a cold version to meet the needs of star fans.

Starbucks uses 2-3 servings of essence espresso (Ristretto) when making this coffee. Unlike regular espresso, essence espresso increases the concentration of coffee liquid by reducing the extraction ratio at the same amount of powder, so fragrant white coffee is stronger than latte at the same amount of milk.

Cold extracted coffee (Cold Brew)

Cold extract coffee product is a product launched by Starbucks in recent years, immediately rushed to Starbucks cold drink coffee sales of the first place. Qianjie Coffee believes that Starbucks' cold-extracted coffee is so popular because it is extracted by soaking at a low temperature, and the coffee is full-bodied and full-bodied. It is not as bitter as high-temperature extraction (coffee machine extraction).

There is another important reason! Cold coffee is the most refreshing drink in Starbucks! The caffeine content in coffee depends on the extraction time of coffee. Espresso usually takes 20-30 seconds, while cold-extracted coffee takes 8-12 hours, so the caffeine content of cold-extracted coffee is the most refreshing among Starbucks drinks.

Cold extract coffee is also the easiest coffee drink at home ~ everyone can go to Qianjie coffee shop to choose coffee beans that suit their own taste, and those who like coffee with sour and sweet flavor are recommended to choose "Sakui coffee beans from Sidamo area of Ethiopia". For those who like coffee with the feeling of scented tea, it is recommended to choose "Flower Butterfly Coffee beans from Panamanian Pokuit" For those who like coffee that is not sour, it is recommended to choose "Brazilian Queen's Manor Coffee beans"; those who like Starbucks whisky barrels to handle coffee beans can also buy the same beans in the front street coffee-"Honduran Shirley Coffee beans".

For the production of cold-extracted coffee, it is usually only necessary to prepare a clean, oil-free sealed container and the materials used to filter the coffee (coffee filter paper / tea bag / high-density filter / cloth bag, etc.). Then mix the coffee powder with ice water and put it in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours. Qianjie coffee is recommended to use 30g coffee powder, extracted in the ratio of 1:13 (that is, 30g coffee powder is soaked in about 400g water), after the extraction is finished, filter out the coffee grounds and taste.
