Café Americano is a popular coffee beverage that originated in Europe during World War II, when American soldiers would dilute their espresso with hot water to make it more palatable. Today, it remains a popular drink in cafes and restaurants around the world. Made by adding hot water to a shot of espresso, the resulting drink is less intense than espresso but still retains its bold, rich flavor. The hot water also adds volume to the drink, making it a milder alternative to espresso. Café Americano can be enjoyed black or with milk and sugar, and is perfect for those looking for a smooth, full-bodied coffee experience.
