Prepare your coffee and grind them medium-fine.
Dose, tamp, and brew two shots of espresso on your espresso machine.
If you plan to add milk to your Americano, you can heat up some using your steaming pitcher and the wand of the espresso machine.
Take the two shots of espresso and pour them into the cup.
Tilt the cup and slowly pour the desired amount of water into the beverage. Make sure the water slides down the inner wall of the cup to avoid breaking the espresso’s crema.
Serve your Americano with some milk and sugar on the side.
Note: If you want an iced version of an Americano, simply replace the hot water with cold water and serve the coffee with some ice cubes.
