There are several common flavors of American coffee. Is it addictive to the way American coffee is made and the right way to drink it?
No matter what season it is, American style is the drink with the highest order rate in coffee shops. Hot American style in winter tastes warm and mellow, while iced American coffee in summer is refreshing and delicious. So how is this popular drink made? Please follow the front street to learn about it.
Was American coffee invented by Americans?
The English "Americano" of American coffee comes from the Italian word "caf è Americano", which means American coffee.
It is difficult to find out who invented American coffee, and one of the most popular claims is that during World War II, American soldiers lived a boring military life by drinking refreshing coffee. However, it is difficult for them to accept the bitter and strong espresso, so they dilute it with water to a concentration that they can drink. After World War II, Italians who went to America to make a living brought espresso machines there, and this kind of "coffee with water" quickly became popular with the popularity of American chains around the world.
American coffee is a kind of black coffee, because there is no other milk, sugar and other accessories, so it can drink the original taste of coffee. The coffee beans used in Qianjie store are self-baked "sunflower sunflower mix". It is composed of 70% Honduran sherry coffee and 30% jaga sherry sun-tanned cherry coffee. Shirley's whisky, vanilla and cream flavor with red cherry tropical fruit, fermentation, so that the cup of coffee rich aroma, soft taste.
When producing American coffee, Qianjie will grind the coffee beans into powder, extract espresso according to the ratio of 1:2 powder, pour it into water and dilute it, that is, 40 grams of coffee liquid with 20 grams of coffee powder. According to the Qianjie experimental preparation for many times, the ratio of 1:6 coffee liquid to water is the most suitable to show warm sun aroma, that is, 40g coffee liquid is poured into 240g 88 ℃ hot water, and the hot American coffee is made. If ice American coffee is produced, the hot water will be replaced with 120 grams of ice and 120 grams of normal water, which tastes best before the ice melts.
The difference between Americano and Long Black
In addition to American coffee, another Long Black is beginning to be added to the menu by some coffee shops. In Australia, people generally use Black Coffee to refer to black coffee and White Coffee to refer to coffee with milk. The term Espresso is called Long Black after using Short Black,Short Black plus the right amount of water, which is generally translated as long black and Australian black in China.
In the 1980s, a large number of Italians emigrated to Australia and brought espresso machines to New Zealand, Australia, Melbourne and other countries. Australians like coffee with a stronger taste, so it is obvious that refreshing Americano is not their "dish". So the Italians make adjustments in the concentrated base and production ratio to cater to the "heavy taste" of the Australians.
Qianjie looked through the relevant materials and noticed that the most obvious difference between Americano and Long Black is the amount of water added. American coffee is first extracted from espresso and then diluted with water. The ratio of espresso to water is 1: 5: 1: 8. While the coffee flavor of Long Black is stronger and smaller than American coffee, the barista will extract two espresso (40g) into a cup containing 100-120ml water, retaining rich Crema on the liquid level. So Long Black is the most full-bodied and mellow when drinking the first sip, and the flavor behind it will be clearer and cleaner.
What coffee beans are suitable for making American coffee?
Many coffee lovers are unwittingly equipped with a lot of coffee utensils at home, and friends who are infatuated with espresso are hoarding espresso machines and are ready to extract them themselves. Qianjie believes that a good cup of American coffee and a high-quality Italian concentrated base is the key, so it is very important to choose the right coffee beans. Since espresso is a pressurized extraction, minor adjustments to the parameters will also affect the taste of the final espresso, so Qianjie recommends medium and deep roasted coffee beans.
Italian coffee beans are cooked beans made by roasters who carefully select coffee beans from different producing areas and different flavors for mixed roasting (or roasting separately and then blending them in proportion). The aim is to highlight the mellow aroma of Espresso, maintain a balanced flavor, and make the espresso produced by stores more stable. Qianjie's understanding of blended beans is to maintain a stable flavor and balance the taste, so that the blended coffee shows the effect of one plus one greater than two, and the taste has the effect of learning from each other, thus creating a richer new taste of coffee. There are four Italian matching beans on the Qianjie bean list for everyone to choose from:
Classic mellow and thick type-- Qianjie commercial blending coffee beans
Robusta washed coffee beans (10%) + Colombian washed coffee beans (30%) + Brazilian half-sun coffee (60%)
