When we go to the cafe to order coffee, we will see "American coffee" marked on menu. If you order this coffee, you will get an espresso made by an Italian coffee machine with hot water, and a black coffee without sugar and milk.

With regard to the origin of American coffee, there is a saying that during World War II, American soldiers were not used to espresso in Italy, so Italian baristas added hot water to espresso. Unexpectedly, the coffee made in this way was very popular with American soldiers, and the way of heating water for espresso was called "Americano" by the Italians. With the spread of espresso around the world, American coffee has spread!

The word "American coffee" is a specific title, it refers to "espresso" + "hot water" of this kind of coffee.

It should be noted that although the origin of "American coffee" is related to Americans, not all the coffee Americans drink is called "American coffee". The United States is a country of immigrants, formed by the migration of people from many countries to what is now the United States. Therefore, there are many ways to drink coffee in the United States.

Low-end coffee may be more bitter, but good coffee is "less bitter" or even "non-bitter".

Not only that, high-end coffee also has many pleasant flavors: caramel, chocolate, citrus, fruit and so on.

What do you think of drinking coffee without sugar and milk?

Actually, it's about a cup of coffee. There is no need to pretend when drinking, and spectators don't have to spray.

When coffee was first introduced into China, it was expensive and drinking coffee was a luxury. With the popularity of coffee and the gradual decline in price, drinking coffee is becoming more and more common.

In the United States, a cup of Starbucks costs $2.50, a cup of wheat coffee costs $1.50, and supermarkets sell $4 worth of cheap coffee powder, which claims to make 90 cups of coffee. Drinking this kind of coffee is equivalent to drinking soy milk and soda, which is very common. Everyone drinks it, and it has nothing to do with taste. How can you install it or not?

Drinking coffee is a matter of respect and personality.

In the early days when coffee was introduced into China, people didn't know much about it, didn't know how to make it, and didn't know how to taste it, so they naturally sought "standards" all the time. With the gradual increase in the number of coffee drinkers, the longer the "curry age" of enthusiasts, the more confident they must be in drinking coffee, and there will be a blooming personality of coffee drinking habits. For example, only sugar was added before, but now salt can be added. Starbucks McDonald's is also constantly launching experimental products such as "Chestnut Coffee" and "Sweet Potato Coffee".

It can be seen that no matter how others treat their own cup of coffee, it is an expression of personality and should be respected.

Sometimes, adding sugar and milk is the best choice.

In some cases, we will drink bad coffee. In addition to buying shoddy beans, the coffee will lose its taste after it has been kept for a long time, it will be bitter when it is brewed, and it will be damp if it is not properly stored. If you can't bear to give up, adding sugar and milk is a good choice, which can "remedy" your coffee to a certain extent and improve your pleasure of drinking coffee.

Besides, even if you add sugar and milk, it's not all "cheap". You can add good things, such as healthy and fresh local milk, healthy and delicious maple syrup, increasingly expensive vanilla powder, and so on.

More and more people choose black coffee without sugar and milk for the sake of health.

When you like coffee more and more, you will want to explore the true taste of coffee, and the original black coffee will become a natural choice.

As you get older, you may pay more and more attention to health, cream, plant fat, sugar, these not-so-healthy coffee partners are naturally abandoned.

In fact, in the world's top coffee competition, the use of milk and other ingredients to make creative coffee is also one of the common competitions.

Drinking coffee is a kind of enjoyment, everyone has everyone's favorite way of drinking, in the end, the pleasure and satisfaction it brings you is the most important.
