About American coffee

American coffee was born after World War II, when the Americans ended the war in Europe, many troops came to southern Europe, they could not drink Espresso, so they diluted it with warm water. Because only such a concentration can they accept, it can be seen that Espresso is not born to be loved by everyone! Because this drink is mainly American soldiers, so people give them the name American coffee.

Because most Americans at that time used the filter method to make coffee with a lighter flavor. To this day, most Americans use a drip coffee maker in their homes, which is why drip coffee makers are also called American coffee makers. But the popularity of American-style coffee made by diluting a cup of Espresso with water has benefited from Starbucks 'global presence.

So is it possible to make a cup of mild coffee with the right way of making water out of the captain's time? There are two opinions here. Traditional Espresso holdouts say no, because coffee is over-extracted, especially late in the extraction process, which also extracts coffee powder impurities and excessive caffeine, and these people despise this method.

But in today's coffee market, such as coffee shops in Australia, it is so dry and common. They say if coffee is over-extracted in this way, won't the extraction time of the French press and siphon pot be longer than this? So what's wrong with that? Uncle Bean does not want to compare the right and wrong of these two methods, but just introduces to everyone that there are two attitudes and practices.

We will not compare the taste differences between these two methods, because when it comes to differences in this respect, there will be differences. But when you know that mild coffee extracted over time has higher caffeine content than a standard cup of Espresso diluted with water. Even so, there are two ways to make Espresso: dilute it with water first and add Espresso with water first.
