Warm cup
Rinse and warm a preheated cup or mug (about 250 ml) with hot water, then discard the water to pre-warm the vessel.

Brew a double shot of espresso (approximately 60 ml) using your espresso machine. If using a moka pot or alternate method, brew enough for a double shot.
- 3
Pour 180 ml of hot water into the warmed cup.
- 4
Gently pour the espresso into the hot water to create a layered Americano, preserving as much crema as possible. Optionally, stir for a uniform strength.
