What is American coffee?

American coffee is a kind of Italian coffee, usually choose medium to deep roasted coffee beans, through the pressure of the Italian coffee machine to let the hot water through the ground coffee powder, extract Espresso. Normally, a cup of American coffee is made from one or two servings of Espresso and diluted with hot water. American coffee is based on Espresso,Espresso "espresso", which originated in Italy and is mostly extracted from espresso by an Italian coffee machine.

After being made into American style, there is an obvious improvement in sweetness, and the flavor will be more balanced, but the taste is thin, the flavor is monotonous and the level is insufficient.

What is the concept of blending of traditional Italian coffee beans?

From trying all kinds of machines, to understanding the principle and science of extraction; from baking commercial beans to the charm of shallow roasting; to come into contact with boutique coffee, to see the mystery of the local soil. Mix beans with different characteristics, this is another world, general espresso beans are imported either from Italy or Seattle. I used to buy freshly roasted espresso beans directly from the origin, excluding the time factor of international shipment. to understand the purpose of deep baking. As far as individual coffee is concerned, although the flavor difference brought by the year is not big, these slight differences will be magnified after the beans are synthesized, so the deep roasting can facilitate the control of the quality to obtain the average taste, reduce the flavor difference brought by the year, and it is more durable to store.

In addition to espresso, lattes are mixed with milk and coffee, and the flavor concept is different. Here, the purpose of coffee is to highlight the sweetness of milk, so the objective goal of Latte is that the coffee itself is mellow, and after adding milk, it tastes like cocoa, so a good cafe should have more than two bean recipes, one for brewing espresso and the other for making lattes.
