Americano

Americano

Caffè Americano also known as Americano or American coffee is a coffee drink prepared by diluting an espresso with hot water.

This drink has a similar strength as esspresso, but different flavor. The strength varies with the number of shots of espresso and amount of water added. The hot water can be drawn directly from the same espresso machine that is used to brew the espresso, or from a separate water heater or kettle.

Americano is traditionally served in 90–150 ml cups.
