The espresso is made with obvious acidity, berry aroma and wine aroma, and a pleasant finish.

Sometimes in the blending of coffee beans, Robusta coffee beans are added to increase the greasy feel of the extracted American coffee. on the one hand, adding Robusta coffee beans can reduce the cost compared with the price of fine coffee.

The sunflower warm sun coffee beans just mentioned in the front street are filled with Honduran sherry coffee beans, which use delicate washing and whisky sherry barrel fermentation to add the flavor of American coffee.

For example, the basic blend of Qianjie Coffee, which is made from Yunnan Coffee and Brazilian Coffee at 3:7, this espresso has a soft sweet taste of fruit acid and caramel. The other is a boutique blend of beans, which uses Colombian coffee beans with Brazilian coffee beans and is matched at 3:7.

The coffee hydrothermal solution of iced American coffee cools rapidly after touching ice cubes, so that the overall flavor changes and remains consistent. But the hot American style will change with the change of temperature, the flavor will also change relatively. In the past, the hot American style of street coffee was taken as an example: coffee had a mixed aroma of flowers and wine, and when it was hot, it had an obvious sense of fermentation in the mouth, and a mouthful of "oil" connected to the surface made the coffee feel as smooth as cream. When the temperature drops, the sour taste begins to appear, and the aroma of fermented wine will stay in the mouth for a long time when the mouth is closed. When the temperature is right, the sweetness is also very obvious, the taste of caramel.
