American Coffee A brief introduction to drip Coffee or Coffee with Water

As coffee enters the third wave, the emergence of boutique coffee makes more friends who understand coffee pay more attention to and pursue boutique coffee. However, espresso is the protagonist of the second wave and has not diminished people's love for it. Espresso has become a hot spot in cafes, and American coffee is one of the simplest types of espresso, which is not as rich as hand-brewed coffee or as strong as espresso, but it is definitely more Italian than espresso and has more coffee flavor than espresso.

Coffee and tea are different, should be very fastidious, but Qianjie believes that compared to brewing tea, coffee brewing may be more exquisite, such as: water humidity, time, grinding and so on. "American Coffee" (English: Americano, Italian: Caff è Americano) is one of the most common coffee. It is made of black coffee made by using a drip filter coffee pot, or by adding a certain proportion of water to the Italian concentrate. Because its extraction time is longer than usual, so the taste is lighter, but the caffeine content will be relatively high. Similarly, its pick-me-up effect will be very good.

American coffee was born after World War II, when the Americans came to southern Europe at the end of the war in Europe. They couldn't drink Espresso, so they diluted it with lukewarm water. Because only this concentration can be accepted, it can be seen that Espresso is not born to be loved by everyone! Because this way of drinking is mainly American soldiers, people call them American coffee.

At that time, most Americans used the filter method to make coffee with a lighter flavor. To this day, most Americans use drip coffee pots in their families, which is why they are also called American coffee pots. But the popularity of American coffee made by diluting a cup of Espresso with water is due to the global opening of Starbucks stores.

American coffee in Italian is called Caff è Americano and now usually refers to espresso made by adding hot water to it. The practice of American coffee in New Zealand and Australia is slightly different: after the espresso is extracted, keep the water supplied by the machine until you get a full cup of coffee. And this kind of coffee is also called "long black" long black coffee.

American coffee consists of only two parts, espresso and water, while iced American coffee has ice cubes. But don't relax just because American coffee is simple. The simplest part is also the most technologically challenging part. American coffee is often the Italian coffee that best tests a barista's technique of extracting espresso. Compared with milk coffee such as latte coffee, American coffee has less effect on the taste of coffee, so it can best sense the taste of coffee beans. Many friends who understand coffee will go to other cafes and choose American coffee. On the one hand, it is convenient and fast. On the other hand, you can know the level of production.

American coffee drinking habits seem to be inborn, whether at home or in the office, whether in shopping malls or roadside vending machines, there is often a delicious smell of coffee floating by. For Americans with a very fast pace of life, they need coffee to cheer them up, and they don't taste coffee as leisurely as Europeans do. But in any case, there is no denying that coffee is already a must for every American, so the United States ranks first in global coffee consumption.

Coffee is now the third largest drink, and coffee has become very popular in China. But everyone has different habits of drinking coffee. Some people like to add some milk or sugar to the slightly bitter black coffee, others like the original bitter coffee, and some friends like to put some American-made drinks when drinking coffee. This is also a different way of drinking. Qianjie believes that no matter which way of drinking, American coffee only adds a bit of interest to the busy work and life, as long as you like it.

Although espresso is mostly made of medium-and deep-roasted beans, you can also try the different taste of espresso made from beans with different roasting levels.

Shallow roasted coffee beans often highlight the aroma of flowers and fruits, and the coffee made from good shallow roasted coffee beans is like a delicious fruit feast when drunk. For the former Street Coffee Sakuran, the lightly roasted Sakui fully shows its rich fruit aroma, mixed with multiple fruit bombs such as strawberries, passion fruit and citrus.

Medium-roasted coffee is about a balance, and the Blue Mountain of Qianjie Coffee uses medium roasting. Moderate roasting can maximize the flavor and aroma of coffee beans. The entrance of Blue Mountain Coffee in front street is smooth, the whole is clean and delicate, with pleasant floral notes, and the flavor of nutty cocoa is intoxicating.

Deep-roasted espresso beans are often thick and mellow, and the flavor of chocolate can always be felt in deep-roasted coffee. In the front street, Indonesian coffee is often deep-roasted. Qianjie gold Mantenin uses deep baking, yellow Mantenin itself has a very high-quality herbaceous flavor, caramel flavor is also very obvious, after the second explosion can effectively reduce miscellaneous flavor, showing a better sense of sweetness.

Of course, with the rise of SOE single espresso, now more friends are pursuing single-origin espresso.

Espresso takes longer to bake and usually goes through a second burst, so it has a deeper flavor, removes most of the acid, makes the whole fuller, and doesn't dominate even when mixed with milk. American coffee is concentrated with water, so it tastes a little softer.

Parameters for making espresso and American coffee with warm sun in Qianjie:

The espresso beans of the front street coffee are different from those of most cafes. The front street uses warm sun mixed coffee beans: Shirley coffee with red cherry coffee, the American coffee produced will have a strong alcoholic aroma and have more memory than other coffee shops. In order to highlight the taste of Shirley barrel, 20 grams of coffee beans and 40 grams of coffee liquid were selected for 27 to 28 seconds.

When making hot American coffee, you need to preheat the cup with hot water, then pour in hot water, and finally pour in the extracted espresso. The proportion of American coffee is usually between 1:6 and 1:8, while Qianjie coffee has been debugged many times. Chose the ratio of 1:6, that is, 40g of coffee liquid mixed with 240g of hot water.

If you are making iced American coffee, precool the cup with ice cubes, then pour in water, and finally pour in espresso. Because of the ice, Qianjie coffee ice American coffee to choose the proportion of 1:7, 40g of coffee liquid mixed with 280g of ice water mixture, of which 180g of ice and 100g of water.

Suggestions for making coffee in front of the street:

Whether it's making espresso, American coffee, or hand-brewed coffee, the freshness of coffee beans is very important. Therefore, the coffee beans shipped from Qianjie coffee are all roasted within 5 days. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

For those who need to be ground, Qianjie warmly reminds you that if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise the beans, because in the process of transportation, the pressure caused by carbon dioxide in the package can also make the coffee flavor round. so you can drink a cup of coffee as soon as you receive the coffee powder. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes more quickly after contact with the air, that is to say, the flavor of the coffee will dissipate more quickly, and the flavor of the coffee is not so good. Therefore, Qianjie suggests buying whole beans, grinding and flushing now, so that we can better taste the flavor of coffee.
