What is the difference between black coffee and American coffee? Is hand-brewed coffee black coffee? What is the difference between a mocha pot and an espresso machine?

Recently, the term "black coffee" often appears in popular videos on the Internet, and it so happens that the coffee in the blogger's hand looks like the American style, so it is inevitable that the little white friends who do not know much about it will ask below: is the black coffee American? What's the difference between black coffee and American style?

So today, let's share what is black coffee in Qianjie. What does black coffee have to do with American style?

What is black coffee? "Black coffee" is actually a general name. It generally refers to coffee that doesn't add any seasoning except water! Ingredients such as milk, syrup and juice can change the original taste of coffee, so lattes, mochas and Olei coffee with sugar and milk are not black coffee. In other words, as long as the whole cup of coffee consists of only water, then such coffee can be called black coffee.

For example, the concentrate extracted by the espresso machine is only made up of water and coffee substances, so it can naturally be called a member of black coffee. In addition, Ristow, Lungo, members of the espresso system all belong to black coffee because there is only water to make them! American coffee is made of espresso mixed with water, and the addition of water will not change the taste of coffee, so American coffee is also a member of black coffee. However, what we need to know is that American coffee can be black coffee, but black coffee does not necessarily mean American coffee, because in addition to American coffee, there are many coffees made from only water and coffee, including but not limited to Italian! Then let's share some common black coffee members from Qianjie. What else are there?

Hand brewed coffee as the representative of drip filter coffee, the whole process of hot water extraction of hand brewed coffee is naturally a member of black coffee. When the concept of boutique coffee was released, people began to pay attention to the original flavor characteristics of coffee, so the extraction way to better express the flavor of coffee-"hand coffee" began to be popular all over the world!

It is not only because of the outstanding flavor of the coffee, but also because the production process of hand-brewed coffee is simple and convenient, so it can stand out among many coffee-making methods. Today, it is still the heart of most people.

Siphon pot Coffee before hand-brewed coffee was popular, we could see siphon pot in most cafes. Such a coffee utensil with a sense of age is not only very ornamental, but also can make more mellow coffee than hand brewing. But now, as you can see, the status of siphon pot has been replaced by hand, because hand coffee can make delicious coffee more easily, so there are very few coffee shops that can stick to siphon pot nowadays.

The siphon pot coffee only uses hot water to soak and extract the coffee powder, so the final coffee is not affected by any other taste, and it is also a member of black coffee.

Cold extracted coffee

Cold brewed coffee and ice drop coffee, which are extracted with cold water, are all members of cold extracted coffee. Although their extraction time will be longer than conventional coffee extraction, but the taste will not be affected by foreign substances, so they can reflect the taste of beans, they must also be a member of black coffee.

The mocha pot, like the Italian coffee maker, originated in Italy and also uses pressurized coffee extraction. Although the pressure of the mocha pot is not as high as the espresso machine, it can still extract rich coffee in a short time. The mocha pot coffee before the secondary processing, is a cup of strong coffee with a lot of water, so it is also a member of black coffee.

In a word, as long as the coffee is made with only colorless and tasteless water and no material that can change the taste, it is a member of the black coffee system.
