Let's talk about the most common American coffee

Americano (English: Americano, Italian: Caffè Americano), a type of coffee, is the most common coffee. It is made from black coffee using a drip coffee pot, or from espresso with a lot of water. It has a relatively light taste. Because the general extraction time is relatively long (about four or five minutes), the caffeine content is high.

Americans drink coffee like playing a game that does not require any rules; they are casual and uninhibited.

American coffee can be divided into two categories: strong and weak. The East Coast of the United States drinks stronger coffee than the West Coast, and the South drinks stronger coffee than the North. In terms of ethnicity, Southern Europeans and Latin Americans prefer stronger coffee than British, German, and Northern European immigrants. A typical representative: Terant, an American foreign teacher who often comes to Guyin Coffee to drink coffee, is a light coffee drinker. Every time he comes to the store, I automatically give her twice as much water as she wants. On the contrary, Haymo, a German foreign teacher who often comes, is a representative of the strong coffee drinker, which just confirms what I said above.

Americans are dismissive of the many details that Europeans pay when brewing coffee. Americans drink coffee freely, and coffee has also penetrated into their lives and is inseparable from them. The influence is so deep that life cannot be considered without coffee. Whether at home, in the office, in public places or in roadside vending machines, Americans cannot live without coffee almost 24 hours a day. In this way, they drink one-third of the world's coffee production, making them the country with the largest coffee consumption in the world. It is said that the Apollo 13 spacecraft, which was carrying out the third manned moon landing, had a life-threatening malfunction on the way. At that time, the ground staff comforted the three astronauts with the words: "Come on! Fragrant hot coffee is waiting for your return."

Generally speaking, American life is more busy and tense, unlike people in Europe and the Middle East who can enjoy life in a leisurely mood. This is reflected in their coffee drinking. They often drink a large pot of electric filter coffee (Drip Coffee Marker) from morning to night. Because more water is added and less coffee is added (a cup of 10 grams of coffee to 200 CC of water), the taste is particularly light, so many people criticize American coffee for being unpalatable. In fact, in various parts of the United States, coffee lovers can still taste their favorite coffee flavor as long as they put in a little more effort.

In addition, although the United States is the largest exporter of instant coffee, not many Americans drink instant coffee. As a result of their increasing attention to dietary health in recent years, the sales of decaffeinated coffee have increased, and the trend of drinking coffee without sugar has become more and more common.

Interestingly, Americano is very light coffee. The French jokingly call it jus de chaussette, which means water for washing socks. In Europe (France and Italy), ordering Americano may be laughed at.
