The difference between Americano and espresso is the difference in taste and the way it is made.

American-style coffee usually has a lighter taste, with relatively low bitterness and acidity, and a softer flavor that is not overpowering. This type of coffee is made by injecting hot water into the ground coffee powder, and then waiting for a period of time for the coffee powder to fully soak and extract. Due to the long extraction time, the concentration and flavor of Americano is relatively light.

Espresso, on the other hand, has a strong taste, with a relatively high level of bitterness and acidity, and a more intense flavor. This type of coffee is made by passing high-pressure water through compressed coffee grounds to create high temperature and high pressure water vapor, which extracts the flavor and aroma from the ground coffee. Due to the shorter duration of this extraction method, espresso has a relatively higher concentration and flavor.

Characteristics of Americano

1. Balanced taste: The taste of Americano is relatively soft and not as strong as espresso. It is made by mixing a portion of espresso with hot water, which makes the flavor of the coffee more balanced.

2. Strong aroma: The aroma of Americano is very strong, with a hint of caramel and chocolate flavor. This is because the aroma released from the coffee beans after roasting is fully extracted during the production process.

3, moderate flavor: the flavor of American coffee is relatively light, not too bitter or sour. It is relatively low in bitterness and acidity for those who like a mild taste.

4, low calorie: Compared to other coffee drinks, Americano has a low calorie content. Because it is diluted with water for espresso, the calorie intake is relatively low.
