Many friends who are new to coffee will be plagued by these questions, such as what is American coffee? What's the difference between espresso and American coffee? Which is more authentic and tastes better? Today, Qianjie will give you an answer one by one. First of all, let's clarify a few relationships: what is American coffee? Use Espresso espresso as the base, add hot water in proportion, and the diluted coffee is American coffee. American coffee originated when American troops landed in Europe during World War II. Because Americans could not get used to Italian espresso, they came up with a way to drink coffee diluted with water.

However, although American coffee is mixed with a lot of water, it has a softer flavor and no less aroma than ordinary espresso. However, now many cafes do not pay much attention to the order of American coffee, and some people think that it is nothing more than the difference between preserving grease and dispersing grease.

Qianjie Coffee Hot American Coffee Qianjie uses espresso extracted from Ethiopian sun cherries and Honduran Shirley as an example, Qianjie dilutes the 40g coffee liquid extracted with 20g coffee powder in different proportions, and finally uses 1:6 ratio (40g coffee liquid to 240g water) to make American coffee.

A good cup of American coffee should be well-balanced and mellow; there will be no thinness, bitterness or acidity. When we drink American coffee, we feel bitter, which is caused by excessive extraction of espresso, while acidity means that espresso is underextracted, thin and easy to understand, that is, it has a large proportion of water.

What is espresso? We can understand this question like this: as long as the coffee extracted by the espresso machine is called espresso.

What is Espresso espresso? Espresso is also known as espresso. Espresso is not only a coffee drink, but also a method of brewing coffee. At a pressure close to 9BAR (that is, 9 times the normal atmospheric pressure), let the near-boiling water penetrate the finely ground coffee powder to extract a cup of coffee with high consistency and strong taste. The extraction parameters of espresso are affected by powder quantity, proportion, time, grinding degree, water temperature and pressure.

This cup of high concentration coffee extracted in a very short time, the cup volume is about 30ml, the surface is floating with a beautiful layer of golden brown coffee oil! The texture of the oil is rich and delicate, attractive and delicious. This layer of grease is commonly called Cream. Crema is responsible for aroma and extract is responsible for flavor. Espresso espresso is a very classic Italian coffee with a rich and layered taste. It can highlight some flavor characteristics of coffee and taste it carefully. Here's a reminder: Espresso espresso is also the base of popular coffee drinks such as American coffee and latte. Don't be afraid to tell you bluntly that as the base of many espresso, if Espresso espresso is not made well, then other espresso can't be expected to taste good.

Why take a sip of ice water before drinking Espresso espresso? Because ice water can make your tongue more sensitive, but it can also open your taste buds and open your tongue to sense flavor. If you eat something heavy before drinking coffee, your mouth must be full of odor, and drinking coffee at this time is bound to affect your judgment of coffee flavor. Then drinking a mouthful of ice water can not only clean the mouth, but also eliminate some taste interference.

Would you like sugar in your Espresso espresso? Some people like to add sugar, some people don't like it, with or without sugar, it varies from person to person. However, from a health point of view, Qianjie coffee is advised to add little or no. The traditional way to drink Espresso espresso is to add a small tablespoon of granulated sugar to the served Espresso and then drink it while stirring; the texture of the coffee will become mild, the bitterness will be less obvious, and the appropriate sour taste will appear. If you are a coffee lover, you must go to the cafe and order a cup of Espresso espresso. Why? Because you will find that the espresso made by the espresso machine is so rich that it brings you not only bitterness, but also acidity, flowers, nuts, and even wine.

Qianjie believes that it is also very important to choose a suitable Italian combination of beans. Blended coffee, also known as mixed coffee, is to mix a variety of individual coffee beans together, so as to give full play to the strengths of various individual coffee beans, blended beans from different areas of coffee beans mixed to make a more balanced taste.

Before the coffee beans are mixed, Qianjie believes that it is necessary to understand the different varieties of coffee and their flavors in the world. Beans will have different characteristics according to their origin. Different coffee beans have different personalities because of different varieties and producing areas, and there are subtle differences in sour, bitter, sweet, fragrance, mellow thickness and other flavors. At present, there are two types of espresso beans on the market, one is single-origin espresso beans, and the other is the more common blend of espresso beans. Individual coffee beans tend to show the unique characteristics of a certain type of coffee. Single-origin espresso can be said to be a very popular espresso base in recent years. Single-origin espresso is "single orgin espresso", the acronym is the SOE that we often hear. Single-origin espresso means that only one kind of coffee bean is used, and this kind of coffee bean can only represent a certain coffee producing area, so this feature actually shows the regional flavor of the coffee producing area as one of the characteristics of hand-brewed coffee.

The difficulty of making SOE single-origin espresso lies in the matching of roasting and the suitable extraction conditions. In terms of roasting degree, we just shared that the roasting degree of espresso beans from a single origin should not be too deep so as not to consume the regional flavor of the origin, but at the same time it should not be too shallow, why? Because espresso is an extraction method that has to undergo high pressure extraction environment, shallow roasting will make coffee beans hard, and after grinding, there is a large gap between coffee powder particles and particles, and it is difficult to achieve sufficient density after filling, and then under pressure, water flows quickly through coffee pressed powder, the final result is too fast flow rate, short extraction time, insufficient extraction leads to acidity of the whole cup of espresso, and lack of alcohol thickness.
