A twist on the classic Americano
The Caffé Americano has its roots in Italy during World War II when American soldiers weren’t fond of the strong espresso Italians were used to drinking. And so they added water to the beloved Italian espresso shot. The Americano typically consists of 1/3 espresso and 2/3 water.
Try this version with a Nutella coconut brim 🙂
