8 oz water

2 shot espresso

Step by step

  1. WHAT IS AN AMERICANO? An Americano is made by adding an espresso shot to hot water. The water dilutes the espresso a bit, giving you the volume of a drip, but with an espresso taste.

  2. Dispense 90ml of hot water using the espresso machine's steam wand.

  3. Pour the hot water into a coffee cup.

  4. Pull the shot of Espresso over the hot water and enjoy your Americano.
