1
Brew Espresso
Begin by brewing 2 shots of espresso using your espresso machine. Ensure the machine is properly heated and the coffee grounds are tamped down evenly.
2
Heat Water
While the espresso is brewing, heat 6 oz of water in a kettle until it reaches a temperature just below boiling (around 200°F or 93°C).
3
Combine Espresso and Water
Once the espresso is brewed, pour it into a large coffee mug. Carefully add the hot water directly into the mug with the espresso, creating a diluted coffee drink.
4
Add Sugar and Milk/Cream
Taste the Americano and add sugar to your liking. If desired, add milk or cream for a creamier texture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
5
Serve
Your Americano is now ready to enjoy! Serve hot and savor the rich flavors.
