Yo soy americano

Perhaps my favorite coffee drink is an Americano. An Americano is prepared by adding hot water to espresso, which creates a drink of similar strength but much different taste than regular drip/brewed coffee.

In case you are curious, the name Americano has its origins from World War II when American soldiers stationed in Europe would add hot water into espresso to imitate the drip coffee to which they were used to.
