Americano coffee has become a go-to tool for many workers because it is not strong, not bitter, and refreshing. It is also the first choice for making it at home. Its composition is very simple, consisting only of espresso and water. In other words, to ensure the taste of espresso, a cup of Americano is almost guaranteed.
When making American coffee, freshly roasted Italian coffee beans are the first choice.
Actually, the requirements for coffee beans to make Americano are not that high, and there are no special Americano coffee beans. As long as they are fresh, roasted to a reasonable degree, and of high quality, we can make an Americano with a burst of aroma at any time.
Regardless of the extraction method, Front Street recommends using fresh coffee beans, which means drinking them within 45 days. The coffee beans shipped by Front Street are all freshly roasted within 5 days and can be shipped 24 hours a day, so that everyone can have a longer tasting period.
The biggest feature of espresso machines is that they tend to enlarge coffee beans, making bitter coffee more bitter and sour coffee more sour. Therefore, if you want to make a delicious American coffee, try to avoid dark roasted beans and light roasted beans, so that the concentrated flavor can be stably exerted after adding water.
There are a variety of American coffee beans to choose from, and it is recommended that you choose according to your own taste preferences. If you like the American style with aromas of almonds, almonds, walnuts, etc., buy the ration-grade Front Street Black Cocoa Basic Blend. It uses a combination of Yunnan small grains and Brazilian red bourbon, combining the acidity of nuts and ripe plums. The black coffee is balanced and mellow. When paired with milk, it will exude the aroma of creamy chocolate. It is the American bean of choice in many coffee shops.
After drinking too much traditional dark-roasted coffee flavor, many friends want to drink American style that is not bitter. Then you can buy the Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso Italian blend. As you can tell from the name, this is a very sweet coffee because it is composed of three single-origin coffees from different production areas. In addition to the rose aroma, the American style and latte can also have the flavors of grapes, dried blueberries, sweet oranges, and fruit candies. The taste is very unique.
To make an Americano that's rich in flavor and rich in crema, we use freshly roasted Front Street Classic Blend espresso beans.
First of all, we can use the golden extraction formula. The powder-to-liquid ratio is 1:2. Grind 20g of coffee powder and extract 40g of coffee liquid. The time is controlled at 25 to 30 seconds. According to the ratio of 1:6 prepared through many tests on Front Street, that is, in 240 grams of hot water at 88°C, the hot Americano is ready.
If iced Americano is produced, the hot water will be replaced with 120 grams of ice cubes and 120 grams of room temperature water. The taste will be best before the ice cubes melt.
