Part I Types of Coffee 咖啡的种类

Take a look at the different types of coffees that you can order in a Coffee House. Have you ever wondered what they actually were? Below is a list of the different types of coffees you can order at most Coffee Houses.

Espresso

The word “espresso” is ①derived from the Italian word for express since espresso is made for and served immediately to the customer. The espresso should drip out of the filter like warm honey, have a deep reddish-brown color, and a cream that ②makes up 10-30% of the beverage. Espresso brewing is defined by four “M’s”: the Macinazione is the correct grinding of a coffee blend, Miscela is the coffee blend, Macchina is the espresso machine, and Mano is the skilled hand of the barista. When each factor of the four M’s is precisely controlled, the espresso beverage that is produced is the ultimate coffee experience.

Of the many ways to prepare coffee, the espresso method is perhaps the epitome of true coffee creation. This system, which is a small wonder of chemistry and physics, allows the coffee to reach its maximum intensity of taste and consistency. With espresso, the ground coffee releases not only the soluble substances that provide flavor, but also the insoluble ones that increase its body and aroma.

When we taste espresso coffee, we are at once struck by its concentrated flavor and aromas, which distinguish it from coffee made by other methods. Aroma and body are the two dimensions which add to the flavor of espresso coffee.

看看咖啡馆里各种各样不同种类的咖啡吧。您有没有想过它们到底是什么样的？以下这份是大多数咖啡馆都会提供的咖啡种类清单。

意大利浓咖啡

“Espresso”这个词出自意大利语“快速”，因为意大利浓咖啡的制作及送到消费者手里的速度都相当快。意大利浓咖啡就像暖蜜似地从过滤器 里缓缓滴落，深红棕色的，奶油含量达到10%至30%。意大利浓咖啡的酿造可以用4个M来定义：Macinazione代表一种正确的混合咖啡的研磨方 法; Miscela是咖啡混合物; Macchina是制作意大利浓咖啡的机器; Mano代表煮咖啡的师傅的熟练技术手法。只有这四个M中的每一个要素都被xx地掌握，煮出的意大利浓咖啡才是最棒的。

在制作咖啡的众多方法之中，或许只有意大利浓咖啡才可以表达真正的咖啡爱好者的{zg}要求。这种制作体系是化学和物理学上的一个小奇迹，它让咖啡 在{zd0}限度上保留了原有的味道和浓度。用这样的方法来煮咖啡，不仅能让咖啡释放出咖啡香中的可溶解物质，而且能分解其他不可溶物质，这些物质能增强咖啡的 品质和香味。

喝意大利浓咖啡时，只需尝一小口我们就会迅速被其浓郁的口味和香气所折服，这正是意大利浓咖啡与其他咖啡的不同之处。香味和浓度是衡量意大利浓咖啡是否好喝的两个尺度。
