The Americano, a classic coffee drink made with espresso and hot water, is a favorite for its customizable strength and rich flavor. Even with just two ingredients, there’s room for creativity! Here is the simplest classic Americano recipe to tantalize your taste buds:

Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • shot (30ml) espresso
  • oz (90ml) hot water

Directions

  1. Pull a shot of espresso into your mug.
  2. Heat the water to just below boiling (around 195°F).
  3. Slowly pour the hot water over the espresso, letting the crema float to the top.
  4. Enjoy!

Tips For Classic Americano

  • Use freshly ground espresso beans for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the water-to-espresso ratio to your preference. A stronger ratio (like 1:1) will be more intense, while a weaker ratio (like 1:4) will be smoother.
  • Experiment with different types of espresso beans or roasted coffee for unique flavor profiles.
