FrontStreet Coffee believes that coffee itself is not high in calories, and Americano coffee does have the function of losing weight. But if you are used to adding sugar and milk to your coffee, or even adding cream or wine in fancy ways...then the calories are not that simple! For example, the calories in a cup of mocha = a bowl of rice? So Front Street thinks that if you want to maintain weight or lose weight, then you must know the following coffee calorie table...

 

Americano = 20 calories

 

Americano coffee with nothing added has very low calories. After dilution with water, it becomes common Americano coffee. A cup of coffee has only about 20 calories. It can be said to be a more natural and lower-calorie coffee item.

The ingredients for Americano are very simple, just espresso and water. Espresso, as the name suggests, comes from Italy in Europe. The purpose of developing espresso is to improve the speed of making coffee. Initially, espresso refers to a way of making coffee, and espres means "quick", which means that a cup of black coffee can be made in a very short time.

The rise of American coffee dates back to the 18th century. At that time, Americans were extremely dissatisfied with the expensive tea import duties imposed by the British government, so the "Boston Tea Party" broke out in 1773 and advocated drinking coffee instead. Gradually, the number of cafes in the United States continued to expand, prompting the coffee industry to flourish in the United States. By the 1880s, about one-third of the world's coffee beans were sold to the United States. During World War II, American coalition troops consumed a large amount of coffee every day to relieve the monotonous life and at the same time improve the spirits of the soldiers.


However, the Italians were used to drinking strong espresso, but the US military couldn't bear to drink such strong and bitter coffee, so they added water to the coffee liquid to dilute it to achieve a concentration acceptable to them. Later, in the cafes opened by Italians in the United States, they also "do as the locals do" and introduced "watered down coffee" based on espresso, which became very popular. Later, this kind of "watered coffee" was called "Americano".

What are your recommendations for Americano coffee beans?


Since no other excipients such as milk and sugar are added, the Americano can better enjoy the original taste and aroma of the coffee beans. At the same time, this also tests the flavor and quality of the espresso. The quality of the espresso depends on the coffee beans themselves. Therefore, to obtain a better flavor, you must purchase high-quality freshly roasted coffee beans.



Front Street Coffee is an old coffee bean roasting brand. The Front Street Coffee Guangzhou offline store specializes in selling coffee beans. The store sells dozens of selected single-origin ​Pour over​(V60) coffee beans and Italian coffee beans from different coffee origins around the world. The Front Street Coffee beans are freshly roasted within 5 days. The quality of the coffee beans is stable and excellent, the price is very cost-effective, and the products are shipped within 24 hours. For many coffee lovers, here are some of the most recommended American coffee beans on the platform:


1. Front Street. Classic Italian Pairing

经典意式拼配168


Most coffee lovers have only heard of Mamba coffee, but they don't know the formula and origin of "Mamba". In fact, Mamba is a combination of Indonesian Mandheling beans and Brazilian coffee beans. The taste can play a complementary and harmonious role. Mamba blending was very popular in Taiwanese cafes in the early years, and it can be regarded as an ancient coffee flavor. Front Street's classic Italian blend is based on the Mamba recipe and adds Robusta, which fully improves the oiliness of the coffee and makes the Italian coffee body stronger. It is suitable for home production and used for latte art.


2. Front Street. Premium Italian blends

As the world's top coffee-producing countries, Brazilian coffee and Colombian coffee have long been famous. Front Street combines coffee beans from the two production areas. The nutty aroma and balanced taste of Brazilian coffee and the chocolate tonality of Colombian coffee perfectly achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two. The extracted espresso has the flavor of butter cookies, cocoa, and roasted nuts. Suitable for friends who don't like sour taste, used for making American style and latte.


3. Front Street. Strawberry candy Italian style

草莓糖4395


If you want to make an espresso with a floral and fruity aroma, you should use medium roasted coffee beans. We recommend Front Street Strawberry Candy espresso coffee beans. You can order directly from Taobao or Tmall stores. This is a espresso made from Costa Rica Tara beads, which are famous for their honey processing, and Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. On this basis, coupled with Colombian coffee beans, the espresso you can prepare is not only non-irritating, but also has good oil and dense texture when extracted by the coffee machine. It also has a sweet and sour taste like strawberry gummy, suitable for making American style or latte.


4. Front Street. Bird of Paradise SOE

巴布亚天堂鸟2485


Like the world-famous Blue Mountain coffee, Papua New Guinea mainly grows the Typica variety. Typica has an elegant flavor, but is weak, has low disease resistance, and is susceptible to leaf rust. Front Street Coffee believes that the biggest characteristic of the Typica coffee tree is the bronze top leaves, which some people call "red-top coffee." The beans of Typica are larger, tapered or thin, and are different from the round-bodied beans of the Bourbon variety coffee beans. Front Street Bird of Paradise SOE has a pleasant toasty, nutty aroma and sugarcane-like sweetness, with a clean taste.


5. Front Street. Queen's Manor SOE

巴西皇后


Front Street Brazilian Queen Estate belongs to the yellow bourbon variety, which is a genetic mutation of bourbon. Bourbon has always been considered the leader in coffee because of its high yield and good quality. Yellow Bourbon is a bourbon variant unique to the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. When the coffee berries mature, they do not turn red like red Bourbon, but turn orange, so it is named after Yellow Bourbon. Front Street Queen's Manor SOE contains nuts and chocolate, with balanced and smooth acidity, weak bitterness, clean finish, and overall viscous and soft texture.
