Iced Americano is actually espresso diluted with ice water. Because only black coffee is made from coffee beans and water, it is a healthy drink with 0 calories, 0 sugar and 0 fat. The reason why everyone loves to drink iced American style so much is that it is refreshing and relieves fatigue, and the caffeine can refresh you and help burn fat to achieve the effect of losing weight.
Iced Americano is a product made with espresso and ice water, so we need to use a special espresso machine for extraction. If you drink it often, you can buy a simple home espresso machine~
Iced latte replaces iced American water with milk. Making an iced latte only requires three steps. First, use 20g of coffee powder to extract 40g of coffee liquid, prepare 100g of ice cubes and 180ml of fresh milk, and then pour in the concentrate. Complete.
The taste of iced Americano and iced latte is determined by the taste of the coffee beans themselves. In order to enjoy the rich coffee aroma even after diluting with water, coffee shops usually use medium or dark roasted Front Street blend series to make Italian coffee.
To make coffee bursting with fat, buy Front Street Classic Blend; if you like nutty coffee, Front Street Boutique Blend is the first choice; friends who are afraid of hardship can buy Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso, which can make an iced American or iced latte full of juice and rose aroma, with a very special flavor.
Cold-brew coffee and ice-drip coffee have become one of the most popular items in specialty coffee shops. One of the important reasons is that they use low-temperature extraction, which effectively inhibits the release of bitter macromolecules in the coffee and has an ice-cold taste, so it tastes more rounded and full.
To make cold brew coffee, Front Street likes to use 40g of coffee powder (the thickness of fine granulated sugar), using a powder to water ratio of 1:10, that is, adding 400ml of drinking water, stir evenly, seal and put it in the refrigerator, refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours, take it out, filter the coffee grounds, and you are done.
Making ice drip requires a set of professional equipment - an ice drip pot. You still need to put 40g of coffee powder (the thickness of fine sugar) into the middle powder trough, fill the upper pot with a mixture of ice and water, and adjust the ice water in the valve to 8 drops per 10 seconds. It is customary to use a 1:10 powder-to-liquid ratio until the lower pot is filled with 400ml of coffee liquid.
Ice drip and cold brew are both types of iced coffee. If you use coffee that is roasted too lightly, it will be boring, and if you use dark roasted coffee, it will become unpalatable.
It is recommended to use some medium-light roasted coffee beans, which can express the cool and clean feeling of cold brew coffee.
