About Americano
An Americano is a coffee drink prepared by diluting espresso with hot water, giving it a similar strength to, but different flavor from, traditionally brewed coffee. The name originates from American soldiers in World War II who would dilute Italian espresso with hot water to approximate the coffee they were used to back home.
