- Our guy Austin Childress from Carabello Coffee is back to show you how to make an Americano.
See the full recipe card here: www.roastycoff...
The story goes that during World War II, American soldiers stationed in Italy weren’t exactly fond of the startlingly strong espresso that Italians tended to drink. Thus, in an effort to replicate their drip coffee back home, soldiers added water to the iconic Italian espresso shot. And so the Americano was born.
So, as you’ve likely figured out, an Americano consists of just water and espresso. The ratio of these ingredients is typically either 1/2 and 1/2 or 1/3 espresso (1-2 shots) and 2/3 water. Generally, chain shops will have more water than espresso because, unsurprisingly, many American’s still find espresso hard to palate. Hence the popularity of the latte.
The Americano tends to stand out among the espresso-based line-up because it has absolutely no milk in it. While some people do add milk, you will likely never receive an Americano with any form of dairy or dairy-alternative in it unless you specifically ask the barista to add it.
"How to make an americano at home with a $10,000 espresso machine" *
You can do it pretty much just as easily with a cheaper machine. I did it with my $150 DeLonghi just fine!
Lmaoo
Use moka pot then
Some like breville is less than a thousand..
😂😂 lol
I m here. Because of. Taehyung......I want to see this because he says it tastes. Poison...haha
Shit. SAme

Omg....but I'm here coz of Suga....haha coz he drinks this like 24/7 😂 but yeah even Tae said he HATES americano
@@taetanniecistherealshipher6624 hahaha
ain't nobody has those fancy machines in this household.
Lol exactly
Then why are you looking at this video?
You need an espresso maker.
@@arpit5317 in the TITLE it legit says at HOME. but who the fck has these fancy stuff at home
@@lamiah.2938 . you don't need the espresso machine. You need only the espresso roast bean-grounds, to use in a drip home machine.
Then run the newly brewed coffee from the caraf again, twice, through the grounds but it must be done quickly. Within 20 sec of the drip machine finishing, or you will pull out the acids, what you want to do, is to pull out the flavors and sugars, from the grounds.
This will give you a very strong cup of java, but only about 1/3 or 1/2 coffee;
Now you add water, ( i add milk) and whatever.

Ever heard of a moka pot?
The comment section is filled with Kdrama fans and ARMY'S 😂
Meee
True🤣🤣
Yesss😄😄😄😄
🤢🤢
I agree haha
I was in a museum cafeteria at a fancy coffee machine, and a young Korean woman asked me how to get an Americano from the machine. I had no freaking idea because the machine only had options like espresso, iced, hot, cappuccino, latte, etc. I just pressed iced coffee because it seems she wanted an iced Americano. Seems like it was close enough, but I had to check if I was close.
Yoongi love it and I don't know how to make so I'm here

All this time I was intimidated by americano since a friend told me that it was so bitter. So it was the espresso that is concentrated and the americano was the diluted version. I've been drinking coffee more bitter than this. 😆
😂😂
I was looking how to make Americano at home ☹️ this guy got machines
I m here enjoying my Italian espresso
I want you make more videos 😍😍😍 thank you ❤️❤️
I really like this specific test of coffee...
Do you find that you have to choose specific coffees to ensure that the flavour doesn’t get lost in the water?
If you have that issue try using a darker roast. What i do is rather than pour separate hot water, i let the espresso machine keep extracting water into the cup. Tends to never feel too strong or too watery. Just play with it and see what kind of strengh you like.
Ameri- Ameri- Americano joa~ joa~joa~
Ifykyk
I just started working as a barista/cook this is really informative.
Thank you for the video. I would like to know why one would need to add cold water to the expresso before adding it to the ice?

Damn the first 5sec of this video was so satisfying 🙌🏾
The American actually dates back to World War 2. Only a small amount of Americans fought in Italy during WW1 but many served in Italy during WW2 and couldn’t tolerate the strong Italian espresso.
This was the very first time I heard the story dating back to WWI!
Good video, thanks! Love your mug in the opening!
Yes, we all have that one espresso machine at home that we don't know how to use.
Can you make a video of how to make an americano in a car?
Great video
10 ounces of water, 2 ounces of espresso,16.5g grounded coffee, pour out about 40 rams in 25 to 30seconds

What is the temperature of the hot water before pour the espresso ??
Nice Cortado glass. And pouring the coffee on the water and not the opposite otherwise you'll burn the coffee flavour, nicely done sir
Is that a thing?
@@hashtagzema I leaned to do that at a Barista training

What is the coffee called when you don't put the hot water in first? This dilutes it too much for me, I just fill my coffee cup without watering it down.
Coffee milk shake❤❤
single shot are double shot in?
I like Americano with honey!
Who knew armys would contribute to the views of this video 😂😂😂😂only armys know what's the matter
Yeah 😂
Can I add milk in it? I recently bought bts cold brew but have ABSOLUTELY no idea how to make it :')
i do and its wonderful
Yes.
Guys just put 1 and half spoon coffee in the mug and very tiny water like 2-3 drops and tiny sugar than mix it well till they are proper looks like honey than add hot water on top and taste like americano😃 your welcome
Lol thanks 😂
lmaoo
At home , without that fancy machine.
"'Muricano" :D
Is it strong though??
Please please do something more on chilled drinks. I love chilled cafe au lau.
I make it with strong French roast twice brewed, within 20seconds after its done dripping i run it through the grounds again, not the whole water heating bit, just re running the newly dripped coffee through the grounds. Then i add ice into the glass, ass 2 sugars and cold cold milk.
Bammm
Please do this on video.

Oh , great coffee . Cafe au lau cow miau miau macalaw 😂

Who all are here because of yoongi 🙄✊
So if it's just diluted espresso, and the espresso just uses coffee grounds, what's the difference between this and a normal ass cup of coffee?
Because espresso is pressurized, normal coffee is just brewed
@@MotoLifterthis
Americano is similar to a normal ”cup of coffee” but still slightly different. Its coffee, we all can enjoy it however we like 👍
BTS I'm here for you 💜💜💜💜
half of the comment here is about bts
like if u agree
Thanks.
Tried this but to me it tastes weaker than a strong brewed coffee, even when I double the dose of espresso (quad shot). Is that normal?
You are using too much water. Try it again 2 parts water for 1 part espresso. 1 shot of espresso wont make for a full size mug of coffee, you'll probably need at least two shots.
@@Cower03 Thanks!
Put less water. You only use as much water to your taste.

Yes simple and easy just a cup of water and 10,000 $ espresso machine ❤
Bruh it is to make at home we don’t have machines at home
Bro just put instant coffee in hot water and stair it well and tada your expresso is really
@@saanvisingh7775 thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe
Here for Suga
how do i know the dosing amount per ml for a 12oz and 16oz cup
Thanks you support
Google it.
Thanks
I hear we americans found espresso too strong - but I bet it's more mouth feel - there's something about lingering with a full cup of coffee that the minute espresso dose just can't replicate. At any rate, I think the water brings out more flavors in espresso - much like a little water in a whiskey. I encourage espresso drinkers to give it a try - it has become my favorite way to enjoy my morning fix.
From the research I’ve found the American soldiers were looking for something similar to a dripped coffee since that’s what’s popular in the states. I definitely agree with you though the water brings out flavors of the espresso and makes for a nice sipping experience.
I am here because baekhyun like Americans forever exo-l
I seriously had no idea tht i will see armys here 😅💜💜💜
Video starts 1:00
Hot water next express o..please tell me?
I think only I m thinking this but I again thinking that all the Army shares same brain cells 😁😁😁😁💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
So basically, Americano is just an espresso or Nesscaffe with more water ?
Does Americano has sugar?
Isn’t the water usually poured on top of espresso?
No because they say doing the water over the espresso breaks up the crema that forms by pouring the espresso over water.
I just couldn't get the Americano right, this seems helpful, will try it!
Did you not add sugar??
Americano chua chua -Hyunjin
I thought pouring the espresso on top of the water is a long black and water over the espresso is an americano.
Im here because of BTS
A beginner question here: Why not just let all of the hot water flow through the coffee gound in 1 step, instead of pouring hot water before or after the espresso?
There are many ways to affect taste in coffee brewing. Hence why there many types of brewing it. They don’t specifically do it to filter coffee grounds, it’s kinda scientific. James Hoffman does a lot of the explanation on his own channel. :)
@@queeddity5450 Thanks for your reply. Since I post my question 4 months ago, I had found the answer - it is about extraction. Letting water flow though the ground all in 1 step may result in overextraction of the coffee ground, resulting in bitter taste. I have also watched quite a few of James' videos. Also purchases a few espresso machines though these 4 months and learnt quite a lot in this "hobby". It is also about time to move on as this is causing me to lose a lot of sleep (too much coffee in the day). Hahaha. Had quite a lot of fun though. Thanks again for coming by to answer my question :)
Thank you for this comment and subsequent answers. I was curious too 😊
Basically a longer way to make a regular cup of coffee...
Americano is not a substitute for drip coffee, as the espresso, often made from robusta, lacks the complex, layered flavours of drip coffee made with a good brewer from decent quality arabica beans.
I never had americano that big tho 😅
Thanks for this awesome video, but I thought that Americano dated to the World War II.
wow! What a nice portafilter cleaner 😂
someone told me that in the US it is accustomed to serve the Americano as espresso and hot water on the side so that one can dilute to their taste... is that true? Anybody :) ?
American here. I don't know, but they do that in Germany. Americans make their coffee at home with drip coffee pot. Or they go to Starbucks.
@@LittleImpaler I lived in Germany for years... I 'm almost sure that's where I heard this rumour, but it was a long time ago .. so now we need a German to confirm :p
@@mourgoukos I also lived in Germany. They always serve the coffee with glass water on side, so one can put as much water as want in their coffee.
@@LittleImpaler Wait I thought that was a pallet cleanser for after drinking the coffee itself
@@Schacal6666 You can do that.
Reminds me of Jaemin's 8 americano shots
omg no that was really bad. I'm happy he stopped
