1
Brew the Espresso
Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso. Ensure the coffee is finely ground and tamped evenly for the best extraction.
2
Heat the Water
In a kettle or a separate pot, bring 6 ounces of water to a boil and then let it cool for about 30 seconds. The ideal temperature for the water should be around 200°F (93°C).
3
Combine the Ingredients
In a pre-warmed coffee mug, pour the hot water first. Then, gently pour the brewed espresso on top of the hot water. This method helps to preserve the crema of the espresso.
4
Serve
Your Americano is now ready to be enjoyed! Optionally, you can add milk, cream, or sugar according to your taste.
