What Is an Americano Coffee?

 First, let’s clear up a common misconception: An Americano is actually an espresso

drink, not purely a cup of coffee (though it may look like one). We provide a more in-
depth breakdown on our blog covering the difference between espresso and
coffee if you’d like to learn more about how espresso and coffee intersect.

A Café Americano, or what we just call an Americano, combines freshly pulled shots
of espresso with hot water to achieve the size of a standard cup of brewed coffee.
Americanos were supposedly made popular in Europe during World War II, as the
American soldiers wanted something resembling their tried-and-true cups of drip
coffee. Our Americanos can be combined with our signature powders like hazelnut,
white chocolate, and mocha for a bold, unique flavour.
