What is Avjiadu? The practice of Avjiado espresso? Is Afujiaduo delicious?

Coffee has become a favorite drink, or an indispensable one. There are more and more ways to drink coffee, and the drinking methods of coffee in various countries are also very distinctive or creative. For example: Vietnamese coffee likes to add milk, because Vietnamese beans are mainly Robusta, its flavor is more bitter, plus milk, coffee becomes more balanced and slippery, covering the bitter taste. Another example: Spain also likes coffee with milk, and has a good coffee culture. Have a cafe é conleche when you wake up in the morning. This kind of coffee, which is the most popular and common in Spain, contains a considerable amount of milk heated by steam pressure and coffee machine, and it is usually served in large coffee cups or glasses. Then at around 11:00 in the morning, many Spaniards stop for a short rest, called Almuerzo. Wait.

For coffee, espresso is more commonly heard or seen, such as latte, cappuccino, caramel macchiato, mocha, etc., while Avogado may be less heard of. Some people say this is a dessert, others say it is a kind of coffee, each has its own arguments.

When it comes to coffee, Italians can be said to play with innovation incisively and vividly. As long as you add "espresso" to "any food", you can give it a new name, so espresso is also called fancy coffee. Something easy to think of, that is, espresso with milk, cream, water, ice, foam, chocolate. But unexpectedly, Italians add espresso to ice cream. They call it "Affogato". There is no doubt that Affogato is Italian, which translates to "inundation". It probably describes the scene of ice cream submerged by espresso. It is difficult to find out exactly when espresso was first mixed with ice cream.

Afjado is a dessert-like coffee drink originating in Italy, made from Italian ice cream (Gelato) at the bottom of the cup, poured over a small cup (a small amount, about 2 ounces) of freshly brewed Italian espresso (Espresso), and tasted with a chilled glass so that the espresso will not immediately melt the ice cream and taste its sweet and bitter balance.

The delicious secret of authentic Affogato: Italian ice cream Gelato!

The general American ice cream (ice cream) focuses on the "full-bodied, soft" taste, which needs to be made with a lot of sugar and animal fat, and a large amount of air (about 50% of the whole) is needed in the process to create a fluffy taste.

Italian ice cream is regulated by the government to contain no more than 8% milk fat. By contrast, Italian ice cream is a refreshing, low-fat dessert that does not enter a large amount of air (about 20-35% of the total) and is more solid as a whole. It has a delicate and dense taste that ordinary ice cream cannot reach.

Italian ice cream has a finer and smoother taste, lower fat and healthier than ordinary ice cream. Espresso believes that all espresso derived from espresso are espresso drinks, and this view focuses on espresso. But it seems that everyone except the coffee shop thinks that Afjiadow is a dessert, and this point of view focuses on ice cream.

Strictly speaking, this is not a cup of coffee but a coffee dessert! His content is: 1 murmur2 balls of vanilla ice cream + a 30ml. Such a coffee dessert is filled with a ceramic hand cup or latte glass, and different coffee shops have different ways of presenting it. Generally speaking, cafes will be very considerate to help you separate Italian concentrate from vanilla ice cream, allowing you to pour warm Italian concentrate on vanilla ice cream so that the ice cream does not melt too fast. of course, some cafes will sprinkle you with Italian concentrate and send it to you. This cup of coffee and dessert tastes layered and melts! Scoop a mouthful of sweet vanilla ice cream and send it to the tip of the tongue with a sweet, bitter Italian concentrate. At the beginning, I felt the original taste of coffee beans. When the bitter taste was about to be released, the vanilla ice cream melted sweetly in the mouth and eliminated the bitter taste while retaining the concentrated aroma.

Make Afu Jiadu Coffee

Making Afujiaduo is also very simple, only two things need to be prepared, Vanilla Ice Cream ball and espresso just extracted, and, of course, a beautiful container.

After preparing a beautiful cup, put on the ice cream ball, and you get to the most exciting part-- pour the espresso. How romantic it is that hot espresso is sprinkled on frozen ice cream and the ice cream melted by coffee blends with coffee.

Of course, this is only the most basic version of Avjiadot. After Afujiaduo spread all over the country, many different recipes appeared. Sometimes local Vanilla Ice Cream is used, topped with caramel sauce for sweetness, or sprinkled with cocoa powder and cinnamon powder; some restaurants use high-grade olive oil instead of espresso; in Japan, they even eat it with soy sauce.

Some places also add alcoholic drinks, such as low-alcohol Liquor / liqueur (such as almond Amaretto or Baileys Baileys), and some whipped cream.

In the production of Alfjado, there is no regulation on the ratio of coffee to ice cream, but the amount of coffee is determined according to personal preference. In Italy, Afjiadow is an ice cream ball with espresso around 2oz. When you try to make it yourself, you can add ingredients according to your own preferences.

For example, with milk-flavored ice cream, put the milk-flavored ice cream ball into the cup and pour the brewed coffee gently on the ice cream ball. Milk ice cream and brown coffee meet in the cup, blend, strong milk flavor and coffee bitterness intertwined, milk aroma with a little bitterness, bitterness is a burst of sweet, endless delicacy. Or put a piece of chocolate on top of the ice cream, and when the hot coffee goes down, the chocolate will melt. The ice cream tastes bitter and sweet, with a little coffee and a cool, silky taste on the tip of the tongue. You can also sprinkle coffee on ice cream and sprinkle a small amount of hazelnut or chocolate chips on the surface to decide how much you like.

Make Alfjado Coffee in front of the street

To make the espresso used by Alfjado, Qianjie recommends people to use "Qianjie Coffee Sunflower with Coffee beans". This coffee bean uses 70% Honduran sherry coffee beans and 30% Yega Shirley red cherry coffee beans. the extracted coffee will show the flavor of whisky, soft sweet and sour berries, vanilla cream and nut caramel. go with Vanilla Ice Cream, just like Tira Misu's Afjiadow!

Espresso can be made using an Italian coffee maker or a mocha pot / portable espresso machine. The advantage of Italian coffee machine is that espresso can show beautiful golden fat, and coffee will be extracted more fully and evenly, but the disadvantage is that the machine is expensive and troublesome to clean. The advantage of mocha pot / portable espresso is that it is easy to operate and suitable for family use. The disadvantage is that the coffee will be slightly less greasy and taste a little thinner.

If you like coffee and ice cream, Avjiadot can grant you two wishes at once. Espresso melts part of the ice cream, making the coffee itself more body, and vanilla ice cream goes well with espresso to neutralize the bitterness of espresso. A mouthful of ice cream also reveals the aroma of espresso.

Some people may ask: is Avjiadot coffee good in the end? Qianjie believes that: coffee is delicious, the key lies in the personal taste. Some people like pure black coffee, which can taste the local flavor of coffee; some people like hanging-ear coffee, simple and convenient, not so strong coffee flavor; some people like latte, coffee with milk, since you can taste coffee with milk flavor …... There are also many ways to brew coffee. If you want to brew a delicious cup of coffee, you must practice more. Welcome to Qianjie to exchange coffee culture.

Suggestions for making coffee in front of the street:

No matter what kind of coffee is brewed, if you want to make a good cup of coffee, you still need to pay attention to the freshness of the coffee beans. Qianjie has always believed that the freshness of coffee beans has a great relationship with the flavor of coffee, so the coffee beans shipped in Qianjie coffee are roasted within 5 days. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

For those who need to be ground, Qianjie warmly reminds you that if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise the beans, because in the process of transportation, the pressure caused by carbon dioxide in the package can also make the coffee flavor round. so you can drink a cup of coffee as soon as you receive the coffee powder. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes more quickly after contact with the air, that is to say, the flavor of the coffee will dissipate more quickly, and the flavor of the coffee is not so good. Therefore, Qianjie suggests buying whole beans, grinding and flushing now, so that we can better taste the flavor of coffee.
