How to make an Americano
Extra Pointers
– The video uses a 6oz cup and a double shot espresso (~40g / ~2oz)
– Even though the 1:2 ratio of espresso to water is the classic standard for an Americano, I recommend just asking the customer how much water they want in their Americano.
– The Americano specifically adds the espresso before the water, mixing the shot as much as possible with the hot water. This is the opposite of a Long Black, which adds the shot after the water to retain the crema and get a different cup taste characteristic.
