Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Ensure your coffee grounds are fresh and tamped evenly for optimal extraction.

  2. 2

    Heat Water

    Boil water until it reaches a temperature of 200°F (93°C). You can use an electric kettle or a stovetop kettle for this.

  3. 3

    Combine Espresso and Water

    In a large mug, pour the freshly brewed espresso shots. Then, slowly add the hot water over the espresso, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve your Americano hot. You may add sugar or cream to taste, if desired.
