— an Americano is a drink made by diluting a regular or double espresso shot with water. The amount of water added can vary, resulting in different serving volumes ranging from 110 to 240 mL, although other volumes are possible. The addition of water helps mellow the intense flavor of espresso and reduce any perceived bitterness, which some individuals may find excessive. While some traditional coffee enthusiasts may be skeptical of the Americano, its popularity remains unaffected due to personal taste preferences.
