Cafe Americano
A Simple classic Coffee Drink that will never let you down
Today Café Americano is so ubiquitous that there probably won’t be a café chain in this world that does not include this coffee drink in its menu. It is often tagged as unarguably the most popular non-milk based coffee drink in the world.
The secret behind Café Americano’s popularity is its endearing simplicity. It is one coffee drink that demands bare minimum ingredients and is just as easy to make. Simply pour espresso into the hot water and you are done for the good. However, this coffee drink’s adorable simplicity in no way impinges on its taste. If anything, Café Americano tastes absolutely delicious and scrumptious.
Café Americano equally stands out for its peculiar history. For not many coffee drinks can proudly claim that they were born on the battlefield frontier. If the American soldiers stationed in Italy during the World War 2 did not have a strong distaste for Italian espresso, probably Café Americano would never have been born.
On this interesting note, lets now unravel how to make this simple yet delicious drink. To make café Americano, you need only two things: hot water and espresso. It is though important to beforehand decide the ratio of hot water and espresso. In other words, the taste of your Café Americano will largely vary depending on the usage of quantity of hot water and espresso shots (single or double shots).
Equipment needed
