1
Brew Espresso
Start by brewing two shots of espresso using your espresso machine. Ensure that the coffee is freshly ground for the best flavor.
2
Heat Water
While the espresso is brewing, heat 6 oz of water to just below boiling. You can use a kettle or a microwave for this.
3
Combine Espresso and Water
Once the espresso shots are ready, pour them into your favorite coffee mug. Then, slowly add the hot water to the espresso.

4
Add Sugar (Optional)
If you prefer your Americano sweet, add 1 tsp of sugar to taste. Stir well until dissolved.
5
Add Milk or Cream (Optional)
For a creamier texture, add 2 tbs of milk or cream to the Americano. Stir gently to combine.
