Does American coffee taste bad?

When it comes to this problem, in fact, in most cases, it is because friends are worried about the bitter taste. As for the bitterness of American coffee, there are two reasons: the taste of ① coffee beans themselves, and the excessive extraction of ②.

[the taste of coffee beans]

American coffee this kind of coffee is coffee in addition to water, and the taste of the coffee beans can most affect the taste of a whole cup of American coffee. So the first reason why American coffee is bitter may be that the coffee beans used to make espresso are rich and full-bodied.

The rich flavor of espresso beans comes from its strong regional flavor and deep roasting degree, such as the Italian concentrated coffee beans of Qianjie Coffee, which contains 30% Colombian beans mixed with 70% Brazilian beans. Colombian coffee beans give the main tone to this blend of dark chocolate beans, while Brazilian coffee beans provide nut tonality and higher mellow thickness. The roaster of Qianjie Coffee roasted the mixed beans to a medium-to-deep roast, giving it a wonderful sense of balance, medium to low acidity and moderate bitterness.

[over extraction]

In addition to the selection of beans, the bitterness of American coffee also comes from mistakes in extraction, such as uneven extraction caused by channel effect, or excessive extraction caused by grinding.

Qianjie coffee is often shared. According to the weight of coffee beans, only about 30% of coffee beans can be extracted, and these 30% are not extracted as much as possible. according to the range recommended by the Golden Cup Criterion, the extraction is about 18% to 22%, less than 18%, which is called insufficient extraction, which is characterized by the sharp and light taste of coffee, while the extraction is more than 22%. We call it over-extraction, that is, we often call it over-extraction, and the performance of over-extraction is usually rich and bitter.
