americano

Shouldn't a cup of esspresso contain the same amount of coffee as a (medium?) americano?

I'll go in, get an Americano and sometimes a breakfast sandwich, and sit and work until lunch time.

I actually think Starbucks Americano is one of the best Americanos I've ever tried, and I've tried all kinds.

I don't drink their regular coffee so I can't really say much about them but have you tried Starbucks americano?

You'll need a few trips to Starbucks a day (an americano has 0 kcal, it's like caffeinated air!) until you can reduce your caffiene dependence.

I like the strength of my Moka pot coffee which is somewhere in between an espresso and an Americano or drip coffee.

Yo soy americano, but would not call myself American.

Unless you call your americano an espresso.

I always have the single origin 12oz double americano.

Me: I'd like a tall iced americano please.

Starbucks does make a good Americano though, and I don't drink the fancy mixed coffee drinks so much, but my fancy coffee drinking friends say Starbucks does it pretty well.

I have a large coffee in the morning and then a large americano in the afternoon, should this be 2 portions, should the large coffee be broken down into 8 ounce servings, should the americano be broken down into # of shots?

Perhaps usage of the term "americano" in Spanish could trigger your smirk of superiority, but not that of the English term "American".

Also keep in mind the Aeropress puts out the equivalent of a double expresso so you would have to "Americano" it into coffee by a 1:1 dilution w hot water.

Maybe this makes a difference if one makes "pretend-espresso" rather than a full cup of "Americano" (actually more like Lungo -- but still not, as the pressure is lower than the initial pressure for a lungo).

"Americano" and "American" seem to carry different connotations.

Where I work there is a machine that dispenses coffee (Americano: basically an espresso plus piping hot water to fill the cup up).

Anyway, most people (but not me) dilute their Aeropress coffee in water to make a Americano-style drink, so its not really comparable at this point to a true pour-over anyway.

I used to use it to make mochas and faux-cappuccinos (pseudo-espresso from the Aeropress plus milk frothified using a whirly-agitator thing instead of steam) but these days I just make Americano-style coffee, which I like because it comes out rich and smooth.
