Although the United States is the largest exporter of instant coffee, not many people in the United States drink instant coffee. In recent years, they pay more and more attention to a healthy diet, the market for decaffeinated coffee is increasing, and the trend of drinking coffee without sugar is becoming more and more common.

The origin of American coffee

The name of American coffee comes from the habit of American soldiers in Europe during the war to mix hot water into small portions of espresso that are common in Europe. It is said that the Apollo spaceship, which landed on the moon for the first time, had a life-and-death failure on its way home. At that time, the ground crew comforted the three astronauts with a word: come on! Delicious hot American coffee is waiting for your return.

Because Americans generally make coffee casually and simply, this method quickly became popular with the popularity of American chain stores in the world. Normally, a cup of American coffee is made by blending two espresso espressos with 30% 470ml hot water. Because of the large amount of hot water added, American coffee will look light both in appearance and in taste. In addition, the aroma of coffee will be slightly damaged as a result, and can not last as long as traditional espresso. Despite the addition of hot water dilution, American coffee still contains more caffeine than regular coffee. But its calories are very low.

In the United States, Australia and New Zealand, the practice of blending with hot water and then espresso is sometimes called Long Black. Sometimes, some simple coffee machines are also called American coffee machines. Actually, they are drip coffee machines.
