1
Prepare the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Ensure the coffee grounds are finely ground and tamped evenly for the best extraction.

In a coffee cup, pour the 2 shots of brewed espresso. Then, add 6 oz of hot water to the espresso. The ratio can be adjusted to taste.

3
Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, add sugar or milk/cream to taste. Stir gently to combine and enjoy your Americano warm.
