Whenever people mention black coffee, they will always think of American coffee at the first time, and many friends will think that black coffee is American coffee. In fact, black coffee refers to coffee without sugar and milk, and American coffee is one of them.

Whether American coffee tastes good or not and how its flavor performs are closely related to the espresso that makes American coffee. Although this coffee is called American style, it is actually a product of espresso diluted with water. Diluted coffee is so popular?! Let's have a cup of coffee in front of this article and talk about the charm of American coffee.

What is American coffee?

Although there is no research, it is rumored that American coffee can be traced back to World War II. At that time, American soldiers stationed in Europe were desperate for coffee. Unfortunately, Italy has only full-bodied espresso, and the concentration of espresso makes American soldiers very uncomfortable.

American soldiers asked their chefs to add enough water to espresso to imitate the kind of coffee they drank in their hometown. Later, the Italians gave this American preference a separate name, Americano (American coffee), which is the origin of "American coffee".

Later, when the American soldiers returned to their home countries, they missed the coffee very much because the making process was fast and they could add water according to their preferences. So espresso machines with pressurized extraction were introduced from Italy. However, after the espresso machine entered the American market, sales were not good because the price was high and the American people were very strange to espresso at that time.

Until Starbucks introduced espresso machines and launched temporary coffee products, including American coffee, through its own store network, American coffee made by espresso became popular with many consumers in a short period of time and began to spread overseas, so friends first heard that American coffee started from Starbucks.

How do you make American coffee?

According to the definition of the Cambridge Dictionary, Americano is defined as: a type of coffee drink made by adding hot water to espresso coffee, adding hot water to espresso (espresso--) is Americano. In short, espresso diluted by water is American coffee.

The production of espresso is to grind the coffee beans into very fine particles, and then by adding an extraction coffee machine, the water can quickly pass through the coffee particles in a sealed environment, and the soluble substances in the particles can be extracted in a very small amount. Extremely high concentration of coffee liquid. Finally, mix in the appropriate hot water / ice water, which is American coffee.

American coffee bean recommendation

To make American coffee / espresso, Qianjie Coffee is recommended to mix beans specially for espresso.

SOE single espresso bean recommendation

As the boutique coffee culture becomes more and more popular, there will be partners who want to use individual coffee to make American coffee. If you choose individual coffee beans, Qianjie coffee is recommended to use coffee beans with medium roasting and outstanding flavor.
