Do you feel a little confused when you stand at the counter of a coffee shop and look at a wide variety of coffee products, such as lattes, cappuccinos or macchiato? This time, Qianjie Coffee specially collates a list of types of espresso coffee, which not only allows you to recognize the differences in coffee flavors, but also details the proportion of coffee prepared.
Types of espresso
All the espresso products we see are based on espresso with different proportions of milk, water, or other ingredients to produce a variety of products.
The production of espresso requires the use of pressurized espresso machine for extraction. Coffee shops usually use freshly roasted Italian coffee beans / individual coffee beans for very fine grinding, then put the coffee powder into the powder bowl in the handle of the coffee machine, fill it evenly, and then fasten it in the head of the coffee machine.
Then press the extraction key, 94 degrees hot water will be pressurized in a vacuum, and quickly through the coffee powder layer, extract 1:2 powder ratio, very high concentration of espresso. Due to the high concentration, the addition of water / milk or other ingredients can still show the taste of coffee, and it takes a short time to make espresso. Espresso was loved by consumers when it was invented.
Qianjie Coffee extract espresso, using Italian coffee beans. Because blended coffee beans can be matched by coffee beans from different producing areas to achieve the stability that coffee beans in a single producing area (single coffee beans) lack (because coffee beans belong to crops, the quality and taste performance of each year are affected by soil climate).
Qianjie Coffee is produced in daily stores, using self-made, freshly roasted sunflower sunflower coffee beans, Ethiopian sun Yega Shirley + Honduran Shirley. The extracted espresso shows fermented wine, berries, vanilla cream, nut caramel, rich and smooth taste and special flavor. Whether it is making Italian milk coffee or American coffee, it can show the attractive aroma of vanilla cream and fermented wine.
Each extraction of espresso depends on the size of the powder bowl, so there are different limits on the use of powder. Qianjie Coffee in the production of single espresso (1shot), will use 10-11 g coffee powder, extract 20-25 g coffee liquid extraction, extraction time of about 22 seconds; to make double espresso will use 19-20 g coffee powder, make 35-40 g coffee liquid, extraction time is about 29 seconds.
The practice of American coffee
When American soldiers came to Italy during World War II, they drank espresso made by unaccustomed espresso machines, so they added a lot of hot water to espresso to dilute the flavor.
This move amazed the Italians, so they called this American drink "Americano", which means "American" in Italian. When Americans hear this slightly sarcastic title, instead of a pestle, they feel smug, so the name Americano has spread, referring to the way espresso is diluted with hot water.
There is no regulation on the amount of water in American coffee, so you can adjust it according to your taste. Qianjie Coffee usually uses double espresso (40g) and 200ml's hot / ice water mixture to make American coffee.
The practice of latte
Caffe Latte is Italian, meaning coffee latte, and Latte means Italian milk. If you go to a coffee bar in Italy and tell the barista that you want a Latte, the barista may look at you with a puzzled look on his face and give you a glass of milk. To get a coffee latte in Italy, you have to say "Caffe Latte" to get an authentic Italian coffee latte.
However, the latte you ordered in Italy is likely to have no milk foam, because the foam machine was invented later and first appeared in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Before that, lattes had only direct espresso with milk, no foam.
In terms of composition, the latte is 1/5 espresso, 2/5 hot milk and 2/5 milk foam. Latte flavor, with espresso and milk as the dual protagonists, taste the synthesis and balance of the two, is the most unique flavor of the latte. The front street coffee latte is usually made from a double espresso (40g), with 250ml of hot / iced milk mixed with smooth foam.
The practice of cappuccino coffee
The difference between a cappuccino Cappuccino and a latte is that cappuccino espresso accounts for more. It consists of 1/3 espresso, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 milk foam. Cappuccino can also be sprinkled with cocoa and cinnamon to enhance flavor. In terms of taste, it is based on the flavor of coffee, with milk as the match.
Qianjie Coffee makes cappuccino coffee, usually using double espresso (40g) and 180 milliliters of hot milk with thick foam.
The practice of mocha coffee
Mocha yuan is originally the name of a famous Yemeni port that exports coffee beans locally produced in this nearby country. These coffee beans have a strong chocolate flavor, and later mocha coffee was generally referred to as a special variety of coffee beans with chocolate aroma. But then the port was dismantled and Europeans in order to drink the same flavor of coffee added chocolate sauce / cocoa powder to milk coffee and became what we now know as Italian mocha coffee.
The front street coffee latte is usually made of double espresso (40g) + the right amount of chocolate sauce / cocoa powder, plus 250ml of hot milk / ice milk with smooth foam.
