The Story

The Americano originated during World War II when American soldiers were stationed in Italy. The strong Italian espresso was too intense for them, so they diluted it with hot water to create a drink similar to their filter coffee back home. The Italians mockingly called this creation "Caffè Americano" – American coffee. What began as a compromise is now a beloved classic.

The Experience
"The Americano offers the best of both worlds: the aromatic complexity of espresso with the drinkability of filter coffee. Fruity and nutty notes unfold in a wonderfully accessible way. A drink that can be enjoyed all day long."
