Espresso is the Italian espresso, which is the basis of many coffees, such as lattes, cappuccinos and so on. Espresso is bitter and dark, and its production is an art. Driven by pressure, hot water filters through tight, finely ground coffee grounds to create a cup of extremely flavorful coffee, a process that extracts the core goodness of the coffee.
If it's too bitter for you, add more sugar or water. A perfect espresso should have a thick, brownish-golden layer of foam on the surface that's good enough for that added sugar to float to the surface for a few seconds and then slowly drop down.
5, Americano: a rehash of Italian espresso
American coffee (Americano) should also be a favorite of many people, by a small cup of espresso and a cup of hot water brewed. In the beginning, Americans could not accept the bitter taste of coffee, so they added hot water to the coffee to dilute the bitter flavor, which is the origin of Americano. Nowadays, however, there are many creamy, richly flavored Americanos out there.
Many people like to add milk or sugar to their Americano before drinking it, but coffee experts suggest that it's best not to add too much milk, and try to keep the amount of milk to a minimum, or else you won't have any coffee flavor! It's great to have a cup of iced Americano on a hot day, but now that it's getting cooler it's better to drink it hot.
