The grinding of American coffee machine the specific water temperature parameters of coarse powder and water introduce the making method of Italian coffee.

"can you make espresso at home? I want to make my own American coffee! " Yes, of course! The coffee made from the mocha coffee pot is also a kind of espresso, but if you want to compare the espresso made by the Italian coffee maker, the concentration is certainly not that high. If it is made into American coffee to drink, it only needs to be a little lower when mixed with water.

American coffee is not necessarily espresso mixed with water.

As Starbucks came to China, American coffee immediately became popular, so in the impression of many friends, American coffee = espresso mixed with water. In fact, American coffee refers to the low concentration of black coffee, because local people in the United States like less strong black coffee, so those light black coffee will be called American coffee, also known as American coffee.

How do you make American coffee at home?

Many friends want to make American coffee at home, but they are put off because they don't have an espresso machine. Never mind! Qianjie this article recommends two kinds of utensils for making American coffee, both of which are purchased by home / office! One is a mocha coffee maker and the other is an American coffee maker.

Mocha coffee pot is a kind of siphon principle, the boiling water in the lower pot is pumped up through the steam pressure, and through the powder trough with a layer of coffee powder in the middle, and then spills the coffee from the middle pipe into the upper pot. Using a mocha pot to make coffee, coffee needs to be ground into a very fine powder. As long as the coffee powder does not pass through the filter hole of the powder trough, it can be ground as fine as possible.

How much coffee powder and water it takes to make coffee in a mocha kettle needs to refer to the powder trough of the pot itself and the height of the pressure relief valve of the next pot! Qianjie suggests putting the coffee beans in the powder trough until it is filled and level with the powder trough, and then grinding the coffee beans in the powder trough into a very fine powder. Generally, the amount of water used is best added to the pressure relief valve down the 0.5cm. The added water is hot water or freshly boiled water as far as possible, which can shorten the time it takes for mocha pots to make coffee and reduce over-extraction. It is important to note that the mocha pot itself is not insulated and needs to be taken after adding hot water and after cooking. Then mix in the right amount of water until it suits your taste.

The operation of the drip filter coffee machine is even easier! The dripping coffee machine consists of an automatic water injection pipe, a filter pot and a lower pot. We only need to pour the coffee powder ground to the size of fine granulated sugar into a filter pot with special filter paper, cover the lid and press the switch and wait for a few minutes. There will be a cup of coffee with the right concentration. The amount of powder used in the drip filter coffee machine can be according to the amount recommended in the manual. If you feel that the coffee is still too strong, you can add the right amount of water; if you feel light, you can add a little more coffee powder.

What is the difference between the taste of American coffee made by mocha pot and drip filter coffee machine?

Also using Qianjie Coffee, Brazilian Queen's Manor Coffee beans, the American coffee made by the mocha pot will be very full-bodied, with peanut cream aroma and smooth feeling, black cocoa finish, but due to the poor filtration performance of the mocha pot, so the coffee tastes like micro-dregs. The American coffee produced by the drip filter coffee machine will be much cleaner, the overall taste is full and refreshing, with nutty aromas, smooth peanut cream, and caramel-like finish, the flavor level is more obvious.
