Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Make sure the coffee grounds are evenly packed and the water temperature is around 190°F to 200°F.

  2. 2

    Heat the Water

    In a kettle or on the stove, heat 6 ounces of water until it reaches a near-boiling point. Do not let it boil.

  3. 3

    Combine Espresso and Water

    In a large mug, pour the brewed espresso shots first. Then, slowly add the hot water to the espresso to create the Americano.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Stir gently if desired, and serve the Americano hot. Optionally, you can add sugar or milk to taste.
