Friends who are just beginning to learn about coffee drinks will hear two terms at the beginning: Italian coffee and Americano. Although it seems that they each represent different coffees, in fact the two are inclusively related. Italian coffee refers to espresso made with an Italian coffee machine and various fancy coffees made based on it, including Americano, latte, cappuccino, Australian white, dirty, etc. These are all in the category of Italian coffee.
When choosing espresso beans, the first thing you need to consider is the brand, and then the freshness.
Nowadays, the coffee bean market is a mixed bag. Not only is it easy for someone to accidentally buy a "fake" product, but it is also possible to spend a lot of money but get expired products that are not fresh. Therefore, finding a reputable coffee bean roasting brand can save you a lot of trouble. It is recommended to directly choose the in-house roasting brand - Front Street Coffee.
Front Street Coffee is a local coffee bean specialty store in Guangzhou. It was founded in 2013 and provides more than 50 categories of fresh coffee. All products can be purchased online through Tmall flagship store and Taobao store. The coffee beans are of stable and excellent quality and the price is very cost-effective. Whether you are a newbie, a coffee lover who has reached a professional advanced level, or a user who has opened a coffee shop, Front Street Coffee is a recommended choice by many coffee lovers and platforms.
Fifty days after the coffee beans are roasted, as the internal gas is discharged from them, the aroma will also dissipate, and the espresso coffee will no longer have aroma and oil, so it is important to ensure that the coffee beans are fresh enough. Front Street Coffee beans are roasted within 5 days and support 24-hour delivery. The purpose is to allow everyone to get the most complete tasting stage and to make the espresso coffee rich in crema.
As the most popular black coffee, American style is one of the signatures of almost every coffee shop, and its sales volume can be said to be among the best. The reason why Americano is so popular is not only because of its moderate concentration and approachable taste. An appropriate cup of Americano every day can also help us digest food, relieve fatigue, and eliminate body edema. So for us ordinary consumers, what kind of coffee beans can we use to make delicious American coffee?
From the perspective of extraction, the lighter the roasting degree, the more obvious the sourness of the espresso, the thinner the taste of the Americano, the darker the roasting degree, the heavier the bitterness of the espresso, and the stronger the Americano. Therefore, if you want a balanced Americano with moderate oil, it is best to choose a medium-dark roast type. At the same time, in order to comply with the supercharging principle of the coffee machine, the blended coffee beans are more suitable for extracting American-style espresso.

There is no fixed ratio for Americano coffee. Each store will have its own production standards in order to present the flavor and taste of the coffee. According to the ratio of 1:5 prepared by Front Street's many experiments, 40 grams of coffee liquid is poured into 200 grams of 80°C hot water, and the hot American coffee is completed.
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.
