        the americano is named for the us soldiers stationed in italy during wwii who would pour water into their espresso because it was “too strong”. it’s one part espresso to four parts water.

        Yes for the Starbucks addicts and electric wand users, but even black coffee consumers are drinking some mild bean water instead of proper coffee. Even our espresso is weak af most of the time.
