What is the correct way to drink American coffee? will it be said to drink hot American coffee with sugar?

When you turn on your mobile phone, you can often see a cup of black drink in the photo taken by some stars, which is the legendary American coffee. Some curious friends will ask whether American coffee is black coffee. Yes, American coffee is a kind of black coffee, and American coffee is the most popular coffee in the cafe besides milk coffee.

The emergence of American coffee began during World War II, when American soldiers were sent to Europe to support the battlefield. At that time, the coffee drunk by Europeans was very sticky and strong, and because the taste was too concentrated, these American soldiers could not get used to such strong coffee, so they thought of diluting the concentrated coffee liquid with hot water, and this drinking method was continued. Europeans prefer thick coffee and even look down on the practice of diluting espresso liquid, which is made by Americans, so they named this coffee Americano, or American coffee.

People have the idea of being "unpleasant" about the taste of bitterness, so naturally many people can't accept the strong stimulation of espresso. But some people can not resist the temptation of black coffee, so choose American coffee, diluted with water, the concentrated sweet and sour are diluted, become more likeable, and can drink for a while, it is a pleasure. A cup of delicious American coffee tastes and features not only the bitter taste of the coffee, but also a little bit of sour, with a little bit of sweetness, as well as the aroma of the coffee, and a lasting finish.

For those who often go to coffee shops, it is not difficult to find that the method of making American coffee is very convenient and fast. Just fill the powder bowl with powder, cloth powder, fill it, press the brewing head of the espresso machine on the brewing handle, press the start switch, and a cup of rich, smooth espresso with delicate foam comes out. For the rest of the process, just see the barista pour the espresso into a cup of hot or ice water.

Through the transparent cup, we can see that American coffee is a light and clear liquid, but to make a good cup of American coffee is a test of baristas' extraction skills as well as the quality of coffee beans.

In order to make the public have more active and easy access to good coffee, Qianjie Coffee has been looking for better quality coffee beans. Some friends will wonder what American coffee beans are recommended if they only need to know which producing area they like to make coffee. Because the coffee beans used in general espresso are made from two or more kinds of single coffee beans, so as to obtain a more balanced flavor and taste, Qianjie has designed four bean recipes suitable for extracting espresso. In addition, in order to enable friends to experience the most blooming side of coffee, the coffee beans in the front street are freshly roasted, packaged, sealed and dated, just for the higher quality of each cup presented to you.

Friends who have been to the Qianjie coffee store know that the Qianjie store has been using a strong alcoholic flavor of Italian coffee beans, that is, sunflower sunflower beans.

Qianjie Coffee Sunflower with Coffee beans

Producing area: Honduras & Ethiopia

Varieties: Kaddura, Kaduai, Pacas, native species

Treatment: washing and insolation

The front street spaghetti bean is made of 70% Honduran sherry and 30% Ethiopian sun-red cherries. Among them, the Honduran Shirley, which accounts for 70%, is put into a whisky barrel and fermented at a low temperature for about 30 days after being delicately washed. Anyone who has done a little research on whisky barrels has found that whiskey from Shirley barrels tastes sweeter than other barrels. On the other hand, the Honduran Shirley in the Qianjie matching beans is fermented in a barrel, and the coffee beans are given the same sweetness as Sherry whisky.

Another 30% of Ethiopian sun-tanned cherries, as can be seen in this passage, are sun-dried coffee beans from Ethiopia. Ethiopian coffee is generally known for its bright and rising acidity. Sun treatment gives the coffee more fruity flavor.

The espresso extracted from Qianjie espresso with coffee beans has a very strong whisky aroma. As the temperature drops a little, it has vanilla, cream, chocolate and berry acidity given by Ethiopian sun-dried cherries.

Some coffee enthusiasts buy coffee machines at home, even espresso machines. However, there is a machine, but how to make a cup of American coffee? What is the percentage of American coffee? In traditional American coffee, the ratio of espresso to water is 1:8. However, this ratio does not apply to all coffee beans. Qianjie Coffee uses sunflower warm Yang Italian blend to produce hot American coffee, the proportion is between 1:5 and 1:6, this ratio can more highlight the warm sun blend of wine and cocoa finish, while having a certain mellow feeling.

If you are making iced American coffee, it is the same proportion, but it should be noted that the ice will dissolve and then turn into water will further dilute the coffee, so the amount of ice needs to be calculated into the water.

Some friends who want to drink American coffee often struggle with the question, which tastes better, hot American coffee or iced American coffee? What's the difference between hot American coffee and iced American coffee? There is a passage about the thermal motion of the molecule, the higher the temperature, the more intense the thermal motion of the molecule. The aroma molecules in hot American coffee will also be more active and easier for us to perceive. On the other hand, because of the ice cubes and the lower temperature, the iced American coffee will feel more refreshing. If you want to taste the strong aroma of coffee, you can try a hot drink; if you want to be cool and refreshing, you can choose an ice drink.
