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.

What's the difference between water first or espresso first? Or is it only because of the crema? But I dont see any crema anymore in both americano and long black tho🤔

Do u add hot water from the espresso machine or are u boiling some?

In our caffe bar we just put the one dose of coffee like you would for an espresso and just put it in a bigger cup and let the hot water from the machine fill it up to the top, i mean they're getting water anyway so why not use the water from the machine when there is no coffee for the machine to grind...

Why not just brew the espresso into the drinking cup?
