What is Americano
Americano means 'American' in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Some assert the term entered the English language from Italian in the 1970s. Caffe americano specifically is Italian for "American coffee". There is a popular belief that the name has its origins in World War II when American G.I.s in Italy diluted espresso with hot water to approximate the coffee to which they were accustomed. However, the Oxford English Dictionary cites the term as a borrowing from Central American Spanish cafe americano, a derisive term for mild coffee dating to the middle of the 1950s. Its first use in English appears in the Jamaican newspaper, the Sunday Gleaner, in 1964. The term caffe americano entered Italian later than the English or Spanish uses, perhaps as a borrowing from one of the two languages. The drink consists of a single shot of espresso brewed with added water. Typically about 120 millilitres (4 imp fl oz; 4 US fl oz)-180 millilitres (6 imp fl oz; 6 US fl oz) of hot water mixed with the espresso. Long black is an Australasian drink similar to the Americano (in contrast to short black for espresso), with an emphasis being placed on the order of preparation, adding water to the cup first before pouring one or two espresso on top. In the western U.S., Italiano sometimes refers to a short Americano with equal amounts of espresso and water (lungo). The hot water can be drawn directly from the machine used to brew the espresso, as water or steam, or from a separate water heater or kettle. Ref: Wikipedia 2024-03-25 |
