How to make iced Americano?
Iced Americano is a product made with espresso, so we need to use a special espresso machine to make it. If you drink it often, you can buy a simple home espresso machine~
The taste of American coffee is determined by the taste of the coffee beans themselves. In order to get a rich coffee taste even after diluting with water, coffee shops usually use dark roasted coffee beans to make Italian coffee. FrontStreet Coffee currently sells four types of coffee beans specially blended for Italian coffee, among which "Sunflower Warm Sun Blend Coffee Beans" and "FrontStreet Coffee Front Street Premium Blend 100% Arabica Coffee Beans" are very suitable for home and office use.
"Nuanyang Blend Coffee Beans" 79/227g: Ethiopian sun-dried red cherry coffee beans (30%) + Honduran sherry barrel coffee beans (70%), with a rich aroma of wine, vanilla cream, sweet and sour berries, and the flavor of roasted nuts.
"Front Street Premium Blend 100% Arabica Coffee Beans" 75/454g: Colombian washed coffee beans (30%) + Brazilian semi-dried coffee beans (70%), with flavors of nuts, dark chocolate, and caramel.
To use an espresso machine to extract espresso, you need to grind the coffee powder to a very fine degree, then put it into the recommended capacity of the grinding bowl in the coffee handle, and then extract a coffee liquid that is twice the amount of coffee powder at a ratio of 1:1, and then add ice water to dilute it according to your taste preference, which is an Americano~!
How to make American-style bubble ice?

How to make American style waterfall ice?
The production of American-style waterfall ice requires a cup-shaped ice grinder. Place the frozen ice cup into water at normal temperature and keep it balanced; then add hot espresso coffee into the ice cup; the coffee will gradually melt the ice cup and create a perforation; because coffee and water have different densities, the coffee liquid will slowly flow down after the perforation, forming a thin waterfall feeling.
How to make American-style quicksand ice?
Pour the extracted espresso liquid into the latte art jar, then add the ice-water mixture, and then use the steam wand of the coffee machine to inflate the Americano in the latte art. Finally, prepare a cup filled with ice and pour the foamy Americano into ice cubes. The dissipation of the foam will give the Americano a quicksand effect.
In terms of taste, due to the strong espresso flavored with ice cubes, the bitterness of the coffee liquid is reduced, and instead highlights the light vanilla flavor and refreshing berry sweetness and sourness. In addition, the foam layer is delicate and smooth, giving it a taste like dark beer.
