A cup of strong Italian coffee has a variety of taste ways, add fresh milk can become a cup of rich milk coffee, add the right temperature of hot water, you can become a cup of hot American coffee, or add ice can become a cup of ice American, of course, you can also use direct extraction of a single concentrated drink directly, bring the aftertaste to make you impressed with this coffee bean. So, today Front Street Coffee wants to share with you how to make a cup of American coffee, and what is the powder/water ratio of specific American coffee.

Every coffee shop has a different ratio of American coffee powder to water, so Qianjie will take its own American coffee to explain to everyone. Generally, American coffee is suitable for espresso coffee as the base, adding a certain amount of water to dilute the extracted coffee. For example, if you prefer a strong American coffee, add less water. If you want a lighter American coffee, add more water. Hot American coffee can restore the taste of coffee itself, not as much attention to coffee producing flavor as hand-brewed coffee, coffee floral flavor will not be very prominent.

American coffee is a very high click rate in black coffee, although there are a variety of brewing methods but will not deviate from the so-called gold cup rule. The golden ratio of extraction rate and concentration investigated by Coffee International Organization is called Gold Cup Standard: extraction rate->18%~ 22%, concentration->1.15%~ 1.55%. In other words, take the coffee brewed from 10g coffee powder as an example, it should fall between 191ml and 116ml, without feeling too weak or too strong. With 15g coffee beans with espresso machine, double powder cup and appropriate grinding, extract 60ml of espresso, divided into 25ml in the front section, 25ml in the middle section and 10ml in the back section (this is the fun of espresso machine, you can take it in stages during extraction), After diluting the espresso coffee according to the gold cup standard, taste it separately. Generally speaking, the first part will be very fragrant, but depending on the roasting degree and formula of the coffee beans, it may be just right or sour. In fact, it is the Espresso Ristretto diluted into the gold cup standard.

Front Street changed the ratio of powder to water of American coffee many times, from a cup of 1:4, a cup of 1: 4.5, a cup of 1:5 American coffee, constantly tasting, looking for an Italian coffee base that is most suitable for the public and can highlight the coffee flavor, and finally set the ratio of American coffee base to 1: 4.5. Because the American coffee beans used in Front Street are made of Honduran sherry coffee and Ethiopian sun-dried red cherries in a ratio of 7:3, the ratio of 1: 4.5 best highlights the aroma and cocoa aftertaste of this warm sun blend.

Of course, there are also many customers who ask in the front street coffee shop, which kind of coffee beans are better for American coffee. Generally speaking, American coffee is made of Italian coffee beans. Compared with traditional hand-brewed coffee beans, the roasting degree will be deeper. Moreover, the coffee beans used in Italian coffee are made of a variety of coffee beans. Of course, coffee beans from a single origin and a single manor are also used to make Italian coffee concentrate base. The coffee produced is referred to as SOE coffee. SOE coffee will amplify the advantages of a certain coffee bean. Of course, the price will be much higher.

The coffee beans used to make Americano coffee in the Front Street store come in four flavors of espresso blend beans. The first type of espresso coffee beans with a more balanced taste. It is prepared using Guatemala, Colombia, Brazil and Tanzania deep-baked beans in a ratio of 3:3:2:1 ratio to blend espresso beans, this blend coffee is very suitable for new espresso friends, because this espresso coffee beans in the sour, bitter, aroma performance is more balanced, both Tanzania Kilimanjaro coffee beans acid, as well as Guatemala rich fruity smoke, and Colombia higher mellow nuts, chocolate flavor. Front Street proportioned these beans to create a well-balanced espresso.

If you want to highlight the bitterness of American coffee, Front Street suggests that you can add some Robusta coffee beans to increase the rich sense of fat. Robusta coffee beans can play a very big role in blending coffee beans. For Front Street coffee, use Italian espresso beans blended from Colombia, Brazil and Robusta coffee in a ratio of 3:6:1. This blend coffee has a strong nutty chocolate flavor with a mellow fat taste of Robusta coffee beans. American coffee that likes acid taste can try using Tanzanian coffee beans and Yega sherry coffee, add Brazilian and Colombia coffee beans to reduce the acid brought by African beans, according to the ratio of 4:2:2, and then we can make a delicious American coffee according to the ratio of American coffee water powder we like carefully!

Recently, the weather in Guangzhou is hot. You can pour the extracted espresso into the prepared ice water according to the ratio of 1:1. Finally, you can enjoy a cup of iced American coffee after stirring to make the temperature of iced American coffee uniform. Since the front street talks about iced American, the front street is simply talking about cold coffee. Because many guests do not understand the difference between American coffee and cold coffee. Cold coffee takes longer to make than American coffee, and it takes a different amount of time to make. American coffee is made by espresso machine after high temperature and high pressure extraction of coffee liquid, after adding hot water, American coffee is finished. The method of making cold coffee is to put freshly ground coffee powder into a filter bag, seal it, soak it in ice water, and then put it in the refrigerator for about twelve hours. Cold coffee extraction is completed. Before the front street coffee, use yejia sherry coffee beans to make cold coffee, smell light floral and berry aroma, drink also refreshing citrus acid, very cool. Compared with American coffee, cold coffee has the advantage that it can be kept for a long time, and it also has the corresponding citrus flavor when stored in the refrigerator for a long time, but it is recommended that everyone drink it as soon as possible so as to perfectly taste the best flavor of each coffee bean.
