American coffee was created during World War 2 when US soldiers added hot water to strong Italian espresso to make it less intense, originating the Americano by diluting espresso with hot water. To make an Americano, a shot of espresso is brewed and added to a cup of hot water, stirred together and optionally flavored, resulting in a milder coffee drink.
