What is the ratio of concentrated water to ice in American coffee? What beans are used to make Italian American coffee?

There is always... Forget it, go straight to our share today: How to make a good cup of American coffee! As we all know! (You still need to get what you deserve) A cup of American coffee is made up of espresso and the right amount of water, so if we want to make a cup of American coffee well, there are only two things we need to pay attention to: the extraction of espresso, the ratio of espresso and water.

Espresso determines the taste of American coffee, and what determines the taste of Espresso is the parameters used for coffee beans and extracts. Choice of coffee beans: If you want to make a cup of American coffee with a sour, weak, bitter taste and fruity scent, then you can give priority to coffee beans produced in "Africa" and "Central and South America", and then the roasting degree is "Medium" and "medium light". Because the flavor of coffee produced in these producing areas is famous for its full sour aroma of flowers and fruits, lighter roasting can well retain the substances in the coffee body, allowing the extracted coffee to have a better flavor performance. If you don't know how to choose, you can refer to these coffee beans in the Front Street Bean List: For example, the American coffee extracted from the Front Street Grana Rose Summer will have the flavors of apricot, berry, and citrus; or the Front Street strawberry sugar rose summer mix, the American style made with it will have the flavors of strawberry, white flower, and berry.

But if you want to make a cup of American coffee that tastes weak and non-acid, and then has a mellow and fragrant taste, then you can give priority to "medium and deep" and "deep roasted" Italian blended coffee beans. Because deeper roasting can consume the acidic substances in coffee beans and increase the aroma and mellow taste of caramel, chocolate, etc.,"blending" will have a more versatile performance and cost performance! There are many blends to choose from in Qianjie Coffee's bean list. For example, Qianjie Black Cocoa Basic Blend, which is made from coffee beans from Brazil and Yunnan. The American coffee made with it has a strong aroma, soft taste, mellow and acid-free; or it is a classic Italian blend from Front Street. The American coffee made with it will not only have a very fragrant chocolate, nut, and cream flavor, but also a very mellow taste and rich oil.

Extraction parameters: We can actually have two options in terms of extraction parameters. One is to obtain a relatively complete extraction of the coffee, and the other is to extract a little less. The difference between the two is that because the former is more complete, the taste and aftertaste of the coffee produced will be better; although the latter does not have as excellent taste and aftertaste as the former, its bitterness will be much less. It will be very suitable for friends who want to drink a cup of weak and bitter taste. Take the former street as an example! The coffee beans used in Qianjie are the basic blend of Qianjie black cocoa mentioned above. When the current street chooses a solution to make the taste and aftertaste of the coffee better, the extraction parameters will adopt the ones that the previous street has always shared: a powder-to-liquid ratio of 1:2 and an extraction time of 30 seconds;

If the latter is chosen, the extraction parameters of espresso coffee may be adjusted to: a powder-to-liquid ratio of 1:1.5 to 1:1.8 and an extraction time of 30 seconds. Ratio of espresso to water: When we make espresso, the last thing we need to consider is the ratio of coffee to water. But in fact, there is not much to consider...

Because the water added later does not participate in the extraction, it only affects the concentration of the coffee. The more water you add to the coffee, the lower the concentration of the coffee, and vice versa. So you can adjust the amount of water according to your own concentration preferences. But if you don't know how much to add the initial water volume, then you might as well refer to the ratio of Qianjie. When using Front Street black cocoa to blend extracted espresso, if Front Street wanted to use it to make American coffee, the ratio would be 1:4. Assuming that the espresso liquor used in Qianjie weighs 40ml, the hot water added is 160ml.

The American coffee made with this ratio of basic black cocoa on Front Street has just the right concentration. It will not be so strong that it is difficult to eat, nor will it be so weak as water. Then this concentration can fully show the flavor. We can obviously drink the flavors of nuts, caramel, and chocolate. The taste is balanced and the taste is full, which is very good. If you make an ice American style, you only need to add 100g ice cubes to the original. Then these are a few key points for making a delicious American style. Of course, if you are still in the mood, you can also put 2 filter papers on the bottom of the powder bowl. This can isolate the coffee powder and make the coffee taste cleaner and have lower bitterness.

Just note that the entry of the filter paper pad affects the extraction and lengthens the coffee extraction time. So if we plan to insert filter paper, it is best to start inserting filter paper from the time of conditioning to avoid the need to re-conditioning.
