Iced Americano

Although it is the most common iced coffee, it is not as simple as espresso + water + ice as you might imagine.

Why? Because the order is wrong!

It has been mentioned before that adding water to concentrate is Americano, adding concentrate to water is Long Black, and direct long extraction Americano is called lungo.

As for Italian coffee, there is only one way to make iced Americano, which is to add espresso to ice or ice water.

Like the regular American coffee machine, or the iced American coffee made in a smart cup, it is suitable for making at home!

This unique flavor, which is produced when the temperature drops rapidly, is the true taste of an iced Americano. Customers usually order an iced Americano like this:

How icy!

Water will dilute the concentration of coffee. The concentration of iced Americano with more ice and less water is stronger than that of regular iced Americano.

Go to water!

Pour the espresso directly onto the ice. This is thicker than an Americano with lots of ice. I heard that this is the favorite way for a guy named Lu to drink it, double the espresso without the water. It's OK, this is a very cold Americano.

Iced Americano, without ice...!

Pick out the ice cubes from the ice-water mixture and add concentrate...the taste will be greatly reduced, and there may only be half a cup without ice.

Normally, if you go to a chain coffee shop and order an iced Americano without ice, only half a cup will be left... "This is normal!" (The amount of espresso that comes out of the coffee machine is fixed, and the rest is just ice cubes and water)

"Waiter, give me a hot American coffee, no water, no sugar, no milk." What should I do?

It is said that a cup of iced Americano in the morning is good for reducing facial swelling. I love iced Americano!!
