American coffee how much water tastes good the best proportion parameter ice American coffee powder water method

Nowadays, American coffee generally refers to espresso mixed with water into a large cup of light coffee. Of course, as long as you solve the most difficult part of extracting espresso, making American coffee will not be a problem.

However, recently, many friends have been asking American questions about the ratio of coffee to water, and whether more or less water will really significantly affect the taste. With regard to the proportion of American coffee, the most direct impact is the concentration. Of course, there is a large range of people's preference for concentration. Some people like to drink concentrate directly, some people like to mix a lot of water with a small spoonful of milk, and some people drink American style with an extra espresso. In other words, for American taste preferences, the standard can not satisfy everyone.

And the proportion mixed with water also depends very much on the flavor of coffee beans. For example, some classic Italian beans with caramel, nuts, cocoa and other flavors are mixed together, because espresso will be bitter and strong, and a larger proportion will be taken. For example, it will be used between 1:7 and 1:8. And like SOE, which is not so deep baked, its flavor is no longer simply bitter, but also sour and sweet. The proportion will not be so large, it will be around 1:5. Therefore, the decision on how much water to mix mainly depends on the final flavor of the coffee. The sunflower warm sun used by the street coffee shop used to mix coffee beans as an example. Every day the barista had to debug according to the state of the beans. In order to highlight the taste of the Shirley barrel, he chose 20 grams of coffee beans and extracted 40 grams of coffee liquid. The extraction time is 27 to 28 seconds.

Qianjie once determined the American-style ratio of water to water for this bean. After two rounds of range contraction, the above extraction method was used to make a comparison of three cups of coffee at 1:4, 1pur4.5 and 1:5, respectively. The final determination of the proportion of 1VR 4.5, in this ratio, can better highlight the warm sun blend of wine and vanilla, chocolate flavor, but also without losing the taste. When making iced American coffee, taking into account the ice and the situation after ice fusion, Qianjie chose a relatively large ice cube, one grain weighs about 25g, and the proportion of 1 cup of iced American coffee in Qianjie is 40g espresso, 100g large ice cubes and 120g water, that is, 12.5ve3. In this way, the coffee will not be too strong and uncomfortable at first, while the large ice cubes will dissolve slowly, will not be too light, and can ensure a long period of low temperature (the normal temperature coffee experience is not good).
