Designed to resemble drip filter coffee, the Americano (sometimes called Caffe Americano) is quite simply a single or double Espresso, with twice as much filtered hot water added. A perfect Americano will have a layer of crema, with an intense taste and earthy flavour.
Although the Americano is a version of drip filter coffee derived from the Espresso, the correct balance of components is very important. An Americano is created by pulling one or two Espresso shots into a cup, then adding twice the amount of filtered hot water over the Espresso, creating a light crema. The result, a longer coffee beverage, preserving the Espresso character.
There are no strict rules on how to serve an Americano, it basically depends on the personal preference of desired strength. A large cup or coffee mug will be ideal to experience the perfect Americano.
