The difference in flavor and taste between espresso and American coffee which espresso beans are rich in oil

Do you know? Espresso is full-bodied, strong and often unacceptable, but once accepted, it has a different taste. Moreover, espresso is also a kind of coffee to test the quality of coffee and the skill of barista.

Since espresso is loved by so many people, it must have a certain charm. Next, Qianjie Coffee will take you to explore the secret of it.

What is espresso?

The espresso just extracted has a beautiful layer of golden oil, which we generally call "Cream". The emergence of "Cream" is closely related to the pressure of the 9Bar. Under heating and pressure, water will extract the soluble substances from the coffee powder layer, and this process will emulsify the fat and oil naturally present in the coffee. At the same time, freshly roasted coffee beans contain carbon dioxide, which is under pressure and melted into coffee in the process of making espresso.

Espresso is a very classic Italian coffee with a rich and layered taste, which can highlight some flavor characteristics of coffee. But also because espresso tastes very strong at the beginning, more people like espresso-based espresso.

What is American coffee?

American coffee originated during World War II, when the US military was not used to drinking extremely strong espresso in Europe, so it was diluted with water. Therefore, the essence of American coffee is to dilute the concentration of coffee to the concentration suitable for Americans to drink at that time. Later, the Italians immigrated to the United States, and Italian cafes sprang up in the United States, which carried forward the American coffee based on espresso, and expressed the view of diluted espresso in the order of pouring coffee first and then water. Until now, the practice of American coffee is not too particular about the order, except to retain the difference between grease and dissipated grease.

How do you make American coffee?

American coffee is diluted by diluting the espresso extracted at 1:2 with the appropriate proportion of water. The front street makes American coffee using espresso extracted with Ethiopian sun cherries and Honduran Shirley as an example. The front street dilutes the 40g coffee liquid extracted with 20g coffee powder in different proportions. Finally, American coffee is made at the ratio of 1:6 (40g coffee liquid to 240g water).

The taste of American coffee depends on the beans extracted from espresso. A good cup of American coffee is well-balanced and full-bodied, without feeling of water, bitterness and acidity. When we drink American coffee when we drink bitter, it is because espresso extraction is excessive, acidity is espresso extraction is insufficient, water feeling is mixed with too much water.

What's the taste of American coffee? The taste of American coffee mainly comes from coffee beans.

Nowadays, American coffee has become the standard menu in almost every cafe, but some stores' American coffee is sweet and delicious, while others are bitter. Why does it make such a big difference? There are two major factors, one is the quality of coffee beans, and the other is the extraction level of baristas.

Nowadays, American coffee is composed of espresso and water, which is colorless and tasteless and only dilutes. The taste of espresso depends on espresso, while the flavor of espresso mainly depends on coffee beans and extraction.

The front street espresso uses double espresso, so it is also important to choose a suitable spaghetti bean. Blended coffee, also known as mixed coffee, is to mix a variety of individual coffee beans together, so as to give full play to the strengths of various individual coffee beans, blended beans from different areas of coffee beans mixed to make a more balanced taste. For example, if a kind of coffee bean tastes smooth but lacks aroma, another kind of rich aroma bean can be added to complement or strengthen the taste of individual coffee beans, so as to create a richer new taste of Italian coffee.

At present, Qianjie coffee uses self-baked sunflower sunflower beans, using Ethiopian red cherries with Honduran Shirley coffee beans according to 7:3, so the flavor of the extracted Italian espresso has obvious acidity in the entrance. Light berry aromas linger, full-bodied wine and chocolate flavor, Huigan finish comfortable.
